Robert Pettit Poet Rhyme

A Philadelphia Princess

A beautiful young woman who came from very near,
was off and running with a great acting career.
She starred in a movie with Clark Gable titled "Mogambo".
Later, she was paired with James Stewart in "Rear Window".
A great film by the name of "High Society" would show.
There were a few other movies we would get to know.
This actress soon met the prince from the tiny country of Monaco.
They tied the knot, and off she would go.

For this lucky prince, Grace made a wonderful wife.
Tragically, a fatal car accident took her life.

I thank imdb.com for valuable information I obtained to write this poem.

Gordon Mcconnell January 28, 2021 at 1:35 PM A rather enjoyable piece Robert, a fitting tribute to a great actress and a real star. But was it not James Stewart in 'Rear Window' rather than Cary Grant? Have a great day, Gordon Robert Pettit January 28, 2021 at 1:57 PM Oh, you got me! That was one of the rare times I have made such an error! She starred opposite Cary Grant in "To Catch a Thief". I have gone ahead and corrected the mistake.
