Watch Grace Kelly: The American Princess and you ll see what I mean. --Chicago Sun-Times A worthy valentine tribute, painting a flawless picture of the lovely star… Paying homage to a fantasy… a highly entertaining hour… the portrait that emerges is always loving… thought-provoking… --Houston Home Journal What Gene Feldman s piece tries to do successfully is show that while Kelly may have seemed touched by God up until her death in a 1982 automobile accident, it wasn t as easy for her as it seemed..The portrait emerging is one of a driven, willful perfectionist..a deeply passionate nature..It was the fitful containment of this natural passion that made Kelly a star. --Philadelphia Daily News
