Why we think Grace Kelly is a Type 9
Peaceful atmosphere. Kelly had a shy demeanor and sought to maintain a peaceful atmosphere, which comes across both onstage and in interviews offstage. Peers and biographers described her as someone who preferred tranquility over turmoil. For instance, Donald Spoto, in his bio, 'High Society: The Life of Grace Kelly,' mentions that Kelly was mystified by others' emotional outbursts and always sought serenity and harmony in her relationships.
Choice of roles. The roles in which she was cast reflects her peace-seeking nature. For example, in her Oscar-winning role in 'The Country Girl', Kelly played Georgie Elgin, a quiet, loyal, and peace-seeking wife dealing with an alcoholic husband.
Carrying an identity of the peace-seeker. When Barbar Walters asked her if she was happy, she replied, "I have a certain peace of mind."
Accommodating others. Kelly's willingness to leave her successful acting career and give up any future personal Hollywood ambitions to support her husband's reign as Prince of Monaco is an example of her accommodating nature.
Modesty and humility. Despite her fame and royal status, Kelly was often described as unassuming and down-to-earth. James Stewart, her co-star in the film 'Rear Window,' described her as "very normal" and "just folks," indicating her unassuming manner despite her immense success.
Connection to nature. Kelly was an avid gardener and had a strong appreciation for nature, as evidenced by her work to create a public rose garden in Monaco and her efforts to promote environmental conservation.
