Grace Kelly

.
             Carolyn Scott, a friend across the hall at the Academy, was already earning good money as a model, and she encouraged Grace to start doing the rounds or New York's advertising agencies on a systematic basis. Toothpaste, skin cream, soap, beer, vacuum cleaners - Grace promoted them all, at rates that ranged from $7.50 to $25 an hour ($70 to $230 in early 1990's dollars). She did not do very well at conventions. She could be decidedly frosty with the businessmen who considered the models on the display stands fair game for a squeeze. But she commanded good fees for her television commercials. Back at her parent's home at 3901 Henry Avenue, dinner was disrupted more than once as the family decamped to the television room to watch Grace posing with the latest offering from Electrolux.
             In Graces last year at the Academy the students were organized into acting companies under the supervision of professional directors. In Graces group the director was Don Richardson, a thirty-year-old protégé of Jelinger's who had been a student at the Academy, and who had several grounds breaking professional productions to his credit. Grace got involved with Richardson who was married at the time and when her parents found out they were furious. They told Grace she was never allowed to she Richardson again. They even made her move home and drive 35 minutes from home to the academy everyday for the remainder of the year. After Grace moved back to New York she got involved with Richardson again, but was also involved with other men. At the end of their relationship Richardson had long been aware that his love affair with Grace way dying. He himself had enjoyed a number of romantic adventures, so he could hardly complain at the evidence that Grace had been playing the field. "She had become a career carnivore,"" he said. "She was rapacious about getting famous and being important.
