Grace of Monaco Page #5

---

- Ha ha!

- Action!

Yes, that's it.

Spare me the indignation, Madge.

- We're just playing.

- GIRL:
Maman is an actress!

GRACE:

One more time before bed. And action!

It's a good likeness, no?

REPORTER:
Yeah.

Our readers want to know, how important

has the hospital project been to you?

I think that people have

to work hard enough

to make sure that the standards

for those who aren't as privileged

are no different than

from those who are.

Wherever in the world they may be.

Not everybody is lucky

enough to marry a prince.

(LAUGHTER)

Au revoir!

REPORTER:
Move back, guys, move back.

Will you let President

de Gaulle's ultimatum

affect your philanthropic

work, ma'am?

Oh, I think we'll all find out it's

been a terrible misunderstanding.

When will you start on

Marnie, Your Highness?

I'm sorry?

Look magazine.

We received a copy of your press

release today from Universal Pictures.

"Princess Grace has

accepted to appear

during her summer vacation

in the motion picture Marnie,

to be made by Mr Alfred Hitchcock

and shot in the United States."

Are you going back to

Hollywood, Your Highness?

No, no.

(FLASH BULBS)

Hollywood rocked,

and the world as well,

as Academy Award-winning

actress Grace Kelly

has been announced to star in Alfred

Hitchcock's new picture, Marnie.

Fans of the silver screen

are sure to be delighted,

but what does this mean

for the State of Monaco?

(PHONE RINGING)

No, no, no. Focus on

the bloody birds.

Hello?

Yes, of course. Put her through.

Grace?

Hitch! The studio said

they would wait. That...

The press release

came from the palace.

The studio only published a response.

Are you sure?

Yes, I told Wasserman

I'd leave Universal

if there was any monkey business.

It's going to be tricky now.

I'll need some more time.

Can you wait?

Of course, darling.

The world needs Grace Kelly

back on the big screen now.

Hitch, thank you.

"The fact that wife Grace Kelly

is returning to her movie career,

no matter what the reason,

is indicative that in some ways, something

has gone wrong with her marriage."

Why do they write such lies?

Try to avoid what Hedda

Hopper's been writing.

I think she's been after your

obituary for a while, now.

The bigger question... is how did the

release get out from Mr Cornet's office?

Yes.

Well, I have the only

key to the bureau.

And only one other person

knew where I put the release.

- How dare you, Mr Cornet?

- A mistake may have happened.

There are certain things about

which I do not make mistakes.

Maybe it wasn't a mistake.

Don't play that game

with me, young lady.

OK, that is enough. Thank you.

I really don't think this was an

accident, Tuck. Somebody leaked it.
