Grace is overrated, Albert is not to your standards...but CC is a "wonderful mom". No other comments. (Eyeroll) After seeing what Albert is really like, I think Grace is highly overrated. Yes she knew how to pose to appear beautiful. But there is nothing behind all those photos, except the words of Albert, saying how marvelous she was and frankly I don't believe him.

I can just imagine her inner-most feelings when she found out she would NEVER BE ALLOWED BY RAINIER to star in a film ever again! And to control any films depicting her... (Teaser Alert!) "They wed in 1956, yet Grace later confessed to an affair with her bridesmaid Carolyn Reybold’s husband Malcolm. Rainier’s own flings sent Grace back into the arms of Sinatra and Brando, and she once confided to her hairdresser: “I know my husband has affairs with other women. That’s very frustrating to me and makes me very unhappy.” She plunged back into an affair with Sinatra lasting several years – they even had a love-nest in Cap Ferrat. Her list of alleged lovers extended to Tony Curtis and Amer- ican tennis ace Sidney Wood. "Amazingly Grace Kelly’s film career had spanned only five years but her tragic death made her a Hollywood icon. Yet friends claim that Rainier never forgave her affairs and almost 30 years later Monaco authorities could well decide to ban the shooting of any film that tried to depict Grace’s true sexual abandon on the principality’s monied hillsides." www.express.co.uk/expressyourself/313542/Grace-The-untold-story

Hmmm... where to begin? People seem to hang their fantasies and twisted notions so easily on beautiful people. I got exhausted just reading those few paragraphs. I'm not condoning promiscuity and cheating on your husband...but this is Europe!?!?! Grace if that prolific - which, with the scrutiny, the kids etc, I'd be impressed would have only been MORE accepted into royal circles for it. I think also she wouldn't have to look to the past for lovers. And finally, she was already acclaimed as an icon and a James Dean ending was not necessary to seal that legacy. What I wonder is what serial killer of stars was in the habit of maybe sabotaging their cars...? Discuss.

Yes she knew how to pose to appear beautiful. But there is nothing behind all those photos, except the words of Albert, saying how marvelous she was and frankly I don't believe him. If you have read my other posts about CW, you'll see that I disliked her immensely right from the start. I think her clothing style is horrendous, her style of being is clumsy and ackward, her accent is terrible and there is nothing I like about her. But she looks like a good mom when she kissed that little girl. And I decided that I would stop disliking her and find things that were good. I used to love Grace. Her style of clothing was fabulous, the colours so beautiful. fabulous hairstyles and her smile and eyes so warm and loving. She was truly a beautiful woman. But after seeing the same photos again and again, with nothing from her being added to them, plus seeing the superficiality of Monaco has changed my mind about her. I don't like worshipping beauty on its own.

She`s so scrumptious I could gobble her up. It reminds me I need a haircut. As soon as I get my life back. Sigh!

It's going cheap but then again, with a recent cat infestation, the place would have to be re-drywalled and the wood panelling get a good soaking of vinegar. I'd replace all wood floors and baseboards. That's just me...

Actually $1 million is on the high side for East Falls circa 2016 .. methinks the buyer is hoping to make $$ off the history of the place.

Shocking the Kelly's of the winery would let the house go to strangers...

Well, style wise it's a replica but the fabric doesn't come close to the original. They meant well.

It was considered a very large home at the time it was built. I was aware it had fallen into disrepair but I had no idea the eccentric owner basically horded cats. It will take considerable money to renovate this house. My bet is that all the electric, plumbing, baths and kitchen will need to be upgraded or gutted so right there you're looking at a bucket load of cash. The floors will all need to be sanded and refinished too, not to mention if the roof needs work. Someone's going to have to dump a good $250,000 into this house. I doubt it will sell for a million in this market even with it's historic past. Henry Avenue is not the neighborhood it used to be. My Mother-in-law lives on Henry Avenue and it's changed quite a bit.
