Letter from Princess Grace of Monaco to her friend William "Bill" Allyn dated September 20, 1977, and sent from the Monegasque princely family home in Paris, France (18 Square de L´Avenue Foch. 75116).

Willam Allyn and Princess Grace during the filming of "Once Upon a Time is Now... The Story of Princess Grace" at the Palace of Monaco in 1976.

William Allyn was an actor/producer and friend of Grace’s from her Hollywood days who reconnected with her in the mid-1960s. With her cooperation, he also produced a 1977 NBC documentary on her titled, Once Upon a Time is Now … The Story of Princess Grace.

Letter transcription below:

Sept. 20th, 1977. Dear Bill It was good to hear from you. Your show on music in the sixties sounds like an overwhelming project but very exciting. I don't really like the idea of changing PATTY-CAKE MAN as it is sort of like trying to let out or take in the seams of a dress. it just never hangs right afterward. I will try to think up an idea on the fashion world with new characters. Incidentally, I recently suggested to Robert Dornhelm a book that I always thought could make an adorable film (in the west of Ireland). He read it and started writing a screen-play which i hope he is finishing in California right now. I asked him to get in touch with you. Unfortunately, I don't know how to get in contact with him just now, but Rupert might. The title is SPANISH GOLD by George A. Birmingham published by Methuen & C. Ltd. London 36 Essex Street, Strand WC2. A delightful tale of searching for a buried Spanish treasure. I naturally have it all cast (in my mind) with Albert Finney, David Niven, and Cryl Cussack. It could be something enchanting. I made the mistake of seeing "Valentino". Poor Rudi Nureyev. He is really quite good but the director should be shot at dawn and hung on the nearest lamppost. No taste, no talent no respect for the era., an outrageous sham which switches from high camp to slapstick and played as if everyone in the audience was deaf. Bitterly dissapointing. Maybe if I took dope I could swallow some of these new directors because they obviously do. I was amused by the car advertisement, particularly as I never owned a Mercedes nor any car in California, I always rented one! The premature announcement of the poetry readings caused the press to exaggerate their importance somewhat, as usual. But It will be a few days in February and the beginning of March, the same kind of thing as in Edinburgh. The article I read made it sound as though I was joining the Royal Shakespeare Co. (as if they'd have me!). If you get to England please give a call. We may get over sometime in October. Some wonderful things going on in the theatre just now. I have yet to see the tapes of our program as our machine was on the blink all summer. Love to you both, Grace.

Excuse my typing.

"people show their true colours in life threatening situations" no, they show you what they act like when they're mortally terrified, an emotion notorious for literally turning your entire brain off to the point where people who go into those situations as a profession need to be literally trained on how to not have that happen

#am i arguing with random 'philosophical' type villains in my own head?#yes #it's a favourite past time of mine i hate every one of those 'i know the true nature of humans because i did horrible things to them' types #with every part of my soul

"life doesnt get better, you just get stronger" does NOT include ages 11-17. life does in fact just get better from there. those years are dogshit. like, you do get stronger but its mostly just a factor of not being 11-17 anymore. positive thinking helps but it doesnt fix whatevers going on at 15, you have to brute force through that one raw

#i originally posted this as just a 'hey remember how fuckin bad middle/highschool was? shit was wild' type post but now #there are a bunch of teens in the notes being like 'oh my god are you serious? it gets better? im not stuck in hell forever??'#and im reminded that the only people who told teenage ella 'it gets better' were speakers at mental health assemblies #aka the least relatable people alive who were seemingly born to lie to you #so. uh. yeah im a certified adult who isnt here to lie or sugarcoat the realities of being a teenager #the only thing more certain than the pain is the transcience

Letter typed and signed by Princess Grace of Monaco to Raul Bertin dated August 25, 1959.

(...) after all your efforts to ensure the full success of the annual Red Cross gala, you wanted to make a very generous donation to our organization. I was very sensitive to this liberality (...).

Grace of Monaco President of the Red Cross of Monaco

In 1959, the princess thanked an important organizer and generous donor to the Red Cross gala, an event she created and which has become, to this day, one of the most charitable social events most prestigious in the Principality of Monaco.

If my mom sees a significant amount of blood she gets lightheaded, and has fainted on some occasions. Once it happened when we were kids, I wasn't there to witness it but I heard the story from my dad. Basically my brothers, around 7 or 8 at the time, were playing outside while my mom was making their lunch, and she accidentally cut her finger. It wasn't anything serious, but it drew a fair bit of blood and she passed out. My dad saw this and rushed over, but he didn't really know what to do so he just sort of started slapping her to wake her up (not recommended, but he had no idea and panicked)

At that exact moment my brothers both came in from playing, and all they saw was our mom unconscious on the floor and our dad slapping her. So, like, without even saying a word to each other they both just INSTANTLY start whaling on him, like, full blown attack mode to defend our mom. Which obviously didn't help the situation, but she did wake up and everything was fine.

Now our dad says that he's actually really glad they attacked him over what they thought was going on, because it means he raised good boys. And I still think that's true, they're very good boys.

#i think about this story sometimes like yeah I'm proud of them for that too actually. good job baby brothers #they're not babies anymore of course they're turning 20 next year which is crazy #but they're still the type of people who'd do something if they saw something of this sort happen for sure #respectful of women and everyone else too. they're good guys #I'm glad I ended up with them living in my house against my will for like 14 years #anyway i have no idea where i was for all this but my best guess is probably a friends house given the time period #i was always at my besties house lol #i hope she's doing well too actually. haven't spoken in forever...#bestie from greek elementary school... if you're out there... let's get muffins and fanta at the bakery across the street again someday 💜☮️
