Item Description

In this Grace Kelly paper doll collection, noted illustrator Tom Tierney recreates over 30 memorable outfits worn by the actress in major rolls and events in her life. Sixteen full-color plates include four dolls (three of Grace and one of Prince Rainier), while 32 skillfully rendered illustrations of costumes, gowns and outfits recall special events. There are costumes from 11 film roles, including an appropriately prim dress she wore as Gary Cooper's Quaker bride in ''High Noon'' (1952); an elegant evening ensemble from ''Rear Window'' (1954); the sumptuous evening dress worn in ''To Catch a Thief'' (1955); and a graceful gown from ''The Swan'' (1956). Also included in this volume are the dress worn for the Academy Awards presentation at which she won her 1954 Oscar, and her royal wedding gown - made of 250 yards of antique heirloom lace. Two family groupings also feature delightful portraits of the royal children. SHIPPING IS NOT INCLUDED on any items in the WXXI Auction.
