At the 8th Cannes Film Festival in 1955, the stars were still able to take a tranquil dip along the Croisette. Grace Kelly was on-site to present The Country Girl. The film, directed by George Seaton, was nominated that year, and indeed it won her the only Oscar of her career. As she emerges from her swim, the American actress does not yet know that her destiny is about to take a major turn. A few days later, she would be introduced to Rainier III, Prince of Monaco, whom she would marry.
