    Elegantly beautiful, Kelly won a best actress Oscar in 1954 for The Country Girl (a drama in which she starred opposite Bing Crosby). She is still better known for playing the gorgeous, reserved blonde in three Alfred Hitchcock films: Dial M for Murder (1954), Rear Window (1954, with Jimmy Stewart) and To Catch a Thief (1955, with Cary Grant). While attending the Cannes film festival she met Prince Rainier III of Monaco; the two were married on 18 April 1956 and Kelly abandoned her acting career to become Princess Grace. She was killed in a 1982 auto accident in Monaco, in which she apparently suffered a stroke and then crashed while driving with her daughter Stephanie.

    A beautiful lady who is still missed by many of her fans 🙁

    that’s a lot tougher question than one would think……

    do you count steam-driven (1890 Ransom E. Olds had sold one of his steam powered cars to a buyer in India, but the ship it was on was lost at sea.)

    internal combustion three-wheeler by carl benz, first on sold 1887
    four-wheeler in 1890 (the start of the mercades-bemz co.)

    first in america; internal combustion- driven ford- 1896, for $200 (the quadracycle)

    did i get it yet??
