    She was a famous film star and dancer.

    Made 61 films
    During WWII she and Bette Grable were the top two pin-ups
    The first film star to become a princess
    One of the 'Hundred Greatest Stars of All Time'
    Her pin-up poster was featured in 'The Shawshank Redemption'

    Can you recognise her before her name comes up at the end of this clip?

    It's a very good dance compilation :dbgrtmb:

      The name in the link was a bit of a give away Shiney:biggrin:

      Who'd she marry to become a princess then?:)

      Her third husband was Prince Aly Khan - son of Aga Khan III
      Second Husband was Orson Welles

      The other three weren't quite as famous but number four was the brilliant crooner and film star, Dick Haymes, who made about 20 films and had over 60 chart hits.

          Just to let you know what Dick Haymes sounded like. He was definitely a crooner :blue thumb:

          Grace Kelly married Prince Rainier in 1956.

          Rita married Aly Khan in 1949 :blue thumb: A bit before your time :heehee:
