10. Grace Kelly – The Country Girl (1954)
Of all of the women on this list, only one can boast the title of princess. Grace Kelly was a prolific film actor in the mid-50s, starring alongside such heavyweights as Clark Gable and Cary Grant. However, her film career was cut short when she met the Prince of Monaco at the Cannes Film Festival in 1955. He was smitten and offered his hand in marriage. Kelly agreed and traded her glamorous life in Hollywood for a glamorous life on the French Riviera. Many would agree that is a step up. Grace had a classic style and beauty all her own, making her short tenure in the limelight that much brighter. She won an Oscar for her role in the film The Country Girl.
Fun Fact: It was this movie shown at Cannes, where she would meet her future husband.
