Princess Grace (1929-1982). A film star of the 1950s, Grace Kelly visited Ireland three times and arrived into Shannon for her earliest visit before driving to the ancestral farm of her grandfather John Peter Kelly in Drimurla, Co Mayo. After marrying Prince Rainier of Monaco, she bought the 35-acre homestead in 1979, but her dream to build a holiday home there never materialised before her death in 1982.
