Of course there are snippets in here that were new to me. I didn't know Kelly came from such a privileged background, or that her father and brother were Olympic medal winners. I didn't know that being her Serene Highness didn't make her quite as happy as she would have hoped, or that in her early career she'd spent much of her time making TV shows. All interesting stuff… but really, I'd have preferred to have discovered "who" she really was, and how she really thought. I can watch the films to find out what they were about, and make my own critical judgements of them. I wanted this to be about the person.
On balance, I'd say it is one for the fans only. We much preferred [[Grace: Her Lives - Her Loves: The startling royal exposé by Robert Lacey]].
Further reading suggestion For more film memories, this time from the UK side of the pond, try [[Alastair Sim: The Star of Scrooge and the Belles of St Trinian's by Mark Simpson]] – or if you’d prefer a more irreverent look at Hollywood the spook biography [[Me Cheeta by James Lever|Me Cheeta]] might be worth the time.
