People have been talking about this for days now, and I apologize that it’s taken me this long to write about it. It seems that a film has just found its funding, and now there will be some kind of Grace Kelly film made. It’s not a bio-pic – thank God. It’s more in the vein of The King’s Speech and My Week With Marilyn and The Queen – showing a famous person through one of the most trying and difficult ordeals of their life. According to Deadline, this Grace Kelly – or rather, Her Serene Highness, Princess Grace – film will: “cover a half-year period in 1962, when French leader Charles De Gaulle and Monaco’s Prince Rainier III were at odds over Monaco’s standing as a tax haven. France gave Monaco six months to reform its tax laws, and the situation escalated. By that time, Kelly (33 at the time) had given up her acting career to become a full time princess, and the film details her political manuevering behind the scenes to save Monaco.”
So… Hollywood producers will be casting a Grace Kelly-type in her 30s to play the real Grace Kelly. And now everybody is in a tizzy about casting. Who should it be? I’ve included my thoughts on some various rumored nominees below. My idea of Grace is… beautiful, obviously. Beautiful, classy, and in no way trashy or budget or busted. Educated, clever AND street-smart. Witty, but not sarcastic. Regal but not patronizing. Elegant. Sassy, without the wink. Basically, there’s no one who could do it.
January Jones. She looks the most like Grace (sort of), but there are issues with January. I think she’s only capable of playing characters who are immature, haughty bitches. Plus, she might be smart in real life (debatable), but she is unable to come across as witty and intelligent on-screen.
Cate Blanchett. If only Cate could play EVERY lady. Ten years ago, Cate would have been the shoo-in. I think she might be too old to be considered at this point, which pains me. She would make a lovely Princess Grace.
Gwyneth Paltrow. Bitch wishes. She probably thinks she’s the lead candidate, and God knows, she might be. I hope producers understand that most people loathe her.
Rebecca Romijn. I just think she’ll be considered for the role at some point, and she’s not even the worse the possibility. She might be too… smiley and goofy, though.
Charlize Theron. Eh. I just don’t see it, personally. With Charlize, there’s always the problem of warmth. As in, she doesn’t have any.
Amber Heard. Just because she’s young and blonde and she has nice boobs – that alone will get her a reading. Plus, she’s like this year’s It Girl. There’s a resemblance to Grace too.
Diane Kruger. Pretty. But too German to play Grace – her accent is so strong! I don’t believe she could lose her accent convincingly.
And finally, Blake Lively. BITCH PLEASE.
UPDATE: I’m adding a few more photos of some of the suggestions you guys have listed. I refuse to acknowledge some of the ladies you’ve named, though. Amy Adams is too petite and cutesy. Emma Watson – are you joking? NO. Of the ladies you’ve come up with, I could maybe see Rosamund Pike, but only with looks. I doubt they would cast anyone but an American for Grace Kelly. Evan Rachel Wood is too young, but she would make an interesting Grace. Michelle Williams is too… hipster, too precious.

I would choose January Jones.
She might be capable of lot more than
playing Betty Draper in Mad Men.
Maybe she would do a great job, if given a chance.

In my opinion her face is amazingly beautiful, just stunning.

I think that Gwyneth looks the most like Grace, in terms of bone structure. But Gwyneth is too Goopy at this point. She’s “iconic” in her own way, I can’t separate her as an actress from her as a celebrity. Plus Goop is 39! Too Old!
Cate Blanchett would have been lovely, but she’s also too old now.
January Jones is the best physical match. I think she would be well cast. I don’t think she’ll get the role however. I have a feeling producers will want someone they can mold into Grace, and January seems to be pretty independent. Plus I’m probably one of the only women in the world who likes January as an actress.
The rest of these women are just bad matches. None of them would work.

I am going way out on a limb and say Keri Russell. I think there is a resemblance and while Keri certainly doesn’t have all the qualities Kaiser lists she isn’t all over the tabloids either and may be able to pull it off. If she were a little older, Emma Watson could probably pull it off.

I actually don’t think this is such a disaster. It can’t be worse than the multitude of actresses who have tried, and failed, to capture Marilyn Monroe on screen. At least Grace Kelly did not have a signature way of speaking or moving that would necessarily turn any portrayal of her into a caricature.
Januray Jones is closest looks-wise, to be sure, but I am not sure she can pull it off. I actually agree that Rosamund Pike would be great – her face has the same softness and serenity as Grace Kelly’s, and she is very talented. But I have to think that with every A-list star going for this project, the studio might cave and select someone with a higher profile.

The Amber Heard chick could do: that picture portrays her as classy, she has a naturally elegant aura. Also, vague resemblance to Grace Kelly and very pretty face. I never saw her act so can’t judge her on that.
Charlize is a good one also for me, I don’t see a “warmth” problem with her and she could do a good job, with the right amount of work and coaching.

Alison Brie is pretty much a comic actress at this point, no? Her face is a little goofy — she is pretty, but I mean, it is. But anyway she and Amber Heard are too young. Why not cast a woman who’s really in her 30′s?
JJ looks just like her. If the role isn’t very demanding, why not give her the role?
If it is demanding, maybe Michelle Williams? But she was just Marilyn, right? Maybe Winona Ryder? Maybe they should just go with Cate anyway. She’s 42, but she has good skin. I feel as though the current crop of women in their 30s lacks their Cate Blanchett or Meryl Streep — a woman of inarguable talent who gets the great roles and kills them.
Randomly w/r/t 20somethings, I have no idea why Keira Knightley gets such good roles — if her roles had been distributed among many young actresses we probably could have discovered a truly great female actress — instead we get her wooden acting in all sorts of roles that are obviously beyond her range because she is “pretty in a serious-looking way.” Ugh, Hollywood.

Olivia Wilde – If you put her in blonde hair, you can see the similarities in their bone structure. Could also see Charlize Theron or Abbie Cornish – this is on looks alone. But Jessica Chastain is chameleon-like enough to play her, has similar bone structure, and is a terrific actress for sure.

That town is full talented, blonde chicks and even if they’re not blond, they can dye the hair. So what would be really cool is to take somebody unknown and give the person a chance to breakthrough. It would be genius since everybody is hoping it’s a famous actress but the stakes would be even set higher if they confuse the audience by giving them somebody completely new so we don’t have any expectations.

If January Jones could actually act, I’d say she’s a great choice. But…
I like the Rosamund Pike suggestion.
Amber Heard would be a good choice if she were older. She’s got classic Hollywood beauty, but she doesn’t yet have the maturity to pull off Grace Kelly, IMO.
Same with Evan Rachel Wood. I don’t think she has the gravitas yet.
Olivia Wilde…I don’t see it. Too thin, too big-jawed, not a good enough actress.

Looks-wise I’ll jump on the Rosamund Pike train. Her profile isn’t very Grace-like, but head on she’s got the resemblance and she’s obviously very beautiful.
Carey Mulligan would be great, acting wise, but she has a completely different look and she’s still pretty young.

Grace Kelly was from Philly and a very wealthy family. She was more than just beautiful, she sounded cultured in speech as well as in action. Just the way she held a cigarette was cool. It was just a combination of things that made her, her. Right now I can’t think of anyone who even touches her. Maybe Charlene but that’s about it. January Jones is beautiful but too icy; this needs someone who has heat. It sure would be nice to have an American icon actually played by an American in my opinion. And yes, by all accounts, the girl could party, geez by today’s standards however she would be almost virginal, just look at who we make rich these days. The Kardashian clan to name one of the complete trash that we make famous today.

Think Charlize Theron looks the most like her – don’t get why so many people are saying January Jones looks like her – I don’t see the resemblance at all.
Charlize Theron also has that icy quality that Grace Kelly had, and which made her so popular with Hitchcock.
Maybe Nicole Kidman would have been a good choice to play her back 6-10 years ago before all of the excessive fillers.

I’m on board with Amber Heard but I can’t help but notice that none of these ladies have the delicate features that Grace has. This is going to throw some people off (it totally did for me) but I’m thinking of Kate Mara. They have the same eyes and small features. The only difference is that Grace’s bottom lip is slightly more plump but that’s nothing a good lip gloss can’t fix. I’m just wondering if she would look good as a blonde. If you google her look at pictures of her with her hair up.

One of the funniest things about Grace Kelly is that if she were alive today, she would get ripped apart on a daily basis on gossip sites due to her habit of sleeping with many, many men, both married & unmarried.
It’s a testament to how much the right kind of beauty & style (i.e. refined & elegant, rather than overtly sexy like, say, Marilyn Monroe) & the perception of being “high class” can protect a woman from being called a slut.

January Jones looks NOTHING like Grace. If she weren’t blonde, no one would say that. Their facial features are very different, with Jones actually being very average bordering on ugly. Charlize looks much more like Grace and is a very capable actress. I think Minka Kelly could pull it off very well– she’s beautiful. She would need to color her hair, obviously, and she would need blue contact lenses, but I think she’d be great.

Grace had to take voice lessons, her voice was so nasal that she took classes to learn to speak the way she did.
She indeed had a wild side, in private. In public she was the picture of decorum, something many young women now could learn from.
I just wish they would not make this movie/tv series, whatever it is. you can’t have another Grace Kelly.

My first thought was Scarlett Johansson, and I was amazed reading all the comments that no one else mentioned her. Now, I am not a fan and really don’t like her as an actress. But, she has that haughty, aloof, sensual persona that guys love mixed with a slightly bad-girl vibe that’s perfect for this role. Am I the only one who sees this???
Report this comment as spam or abuse
I don’t think anyone that looks suitable could possibly portray that kind of class and elegance. Those who have the talent to portray Grace, just don’t look the part. Of the obvious lookalikes, none of them have the ability. Cate Blanchett is just not elegant enough, (physically, not personally), and whilst she’s done some great stuff, she’s also capable of shlockers, and that wouldn’t do GK any justice if it turned out like that. Most of the younger set are just too ”meh”.

Sienna Miller, Carolyn Murphy, Charlize Theron, Kate Bosworth, and maybe Rachel Mc Adams are the only ones who resemble Grace Kelly in any way. The right coach could give Sienna Miller the regal ability. The nose and how far the eyes are spaced apart is the most important aspect to start with. I have never taken the time to comment on here but today I have to get on here and say, if there was anyone in the world I would want to have lunch with, its you Kaiser! I have never found anyone with just the right amount of eloquence, humor and who perfectly despises the exact ‘stars’ as I do.

Grace Kelly was perfection – clear and simple. Of all those listed above, no one is as perfect but Amber Heard – at least in this photo – is the closest in my opinion. Next up would be Charlize, who I actually like, based on a few interviews I have seen. To even mention Blake Lively and Goop – all of them really – as possibilities is an insult to Grace Kelly! One exception – Cate Blanchett – I don’t think she is right for this part – but I do think she is beautiful – just doesn’t have Grace Kelly’s type of looks/beauty.

@Lea(#148): Thank you, THANK YOU for saying this. I love all the beauties of Old Hollywood, but I think it’s monstrously unfair that Marilyn Monroe gets the slut label so often when Grace Kelly, Ava Gardner, Lana Turner, Vivien Leigh, Elizabeth Taylor, and even Audrey Hepburn also had adulterous affairs. The male stars were just as guilty, though they rarely get judged like the women.
I don’t condone cheating, but Hollywood stars constantly face temptation compared to the average person. Back then, the studios usually covered up their mistakes. People see Audrey or Grace’s image of a refined, elegant blue-blood and assume that the person and the image are exactly the same. Wake up people – they are fallible human beings just like the rest of us! Marilyn wasn’t ashamed of her body and owned her sexuality. She played up the bombshell image as a public performance. In private, according to her friends, she was more girly than sultry. It’s ridiculous that some idiots compare her to Lohan, because Marilyn never showed her vadge while exiting a car. She didn’t appear drunk or stoned in public, either.
Anyway, Rosamund Pike and Charlize could play Grace. I don’t think Amber Heard can portray a woman in her thirties. Grace was beautiful, so those suggesting Reese and Drew better step back. Cute, girl-next-door looks don’t equal classically beautiful. January Jones is too much like her Mad Men character. I saw her on TV hosting Saturday Night Live a few years ago. She had the charisma of a dead fish. Where else besides SNL can an actor be relatively wild and spontaneous in front of a live audience? She failed miserably and showed me that she’s not a versatile actress.

Of the ladies you have mentioned: Some are not pretty enough (being “older” is not the problem here, she was in her 30s), and some are too California bleach blond/ fake tan and lack the added classic- and cannot pull aristocratic/ European vibe she had.
Sorry, I actually think they should consider some European actresses if they are pretty enough.
I can’t think of any America nowadays that is both so beautiful, smart, classic and petite.
Perhaps Natalie Portman, but I don’t think she can go blonde.
So, they need someone new or someone European who is perhaps unknown to us, but is a working actress elsewhere.

This shouldn’t even happen. There’s going to be a throng of ‘There Will NEVER Be Another Grace’ party members, and a chip the size of Philadelphia itself for the shoulder of the ‘Girl Who Is Grace’, masquerading as humility ‘…of COURSE I’ve always been her hugest fan!’ But that’s inevitable when a king’s ransom worth of identical paper dolls are sized up in life’s worth in terms of facial angles and whose perfection is more perfect than perfection and more identical than identity. No matter what you think of her, the Princess Bride’s legend is far greater than the sum of her (eleven) parts, so any pretender to the throne is going to be viewed as a deluded would-be usurper who pretends to believe that she could never fill those shoes of the last breaths of Old Hollywood (but if the two names happen to be paired from now on, it couldn’t entirely be without reason if vanity casting weren’t involved. And anyway, that bygone era will always be worshipped above all others, so the brightness and burden of the bygone glamour can’t be reached or fussed over now).
I can’t even imagine what kind of debacle will result from attempting to teach that required Hitchcockian transatlantic coo that burped forth from all the members of the Legion of Ice Ingenues with differing levels of success (honk, honk, Kim Novak…okay, Rear Window was pretty distracting, come, now).
I don’t hold her in any higher esteem than her sisters of The Sacred Order Of The Hollywood All-Stars, she was, as were they all, incredibly beautiful, poised, maybe more enchanting than profound much of the time in cases where classical training levels were a little on the scant side, obviously holding captive over audiences on strength on wild, post-mortem charisma, and so expertly constructed, those gears of their making or actions indulged in person, but sheltered from ticket holders (in contrast to today?) are all but invisible today.
Yep, for a certain order of pipe dreams, the so-called ‘curse’ of beauty is far smaller than the disaster of not having it. No news there.
