Grace Kelly

About Grace Kelly

Grace Kelly (1929–1982) achieved significant cultural influence as both a celebrated American actor and a European royal. Her film career, though brief, was critically acclaimed, starring in iconic Hitchcock thrillers like *Rear Window* and *Dial M for Murder*. Her historical importance, measured by the HPI, ranks her at #293 among global figures, largely cemented by her dramatic transition in 1956 to become Princess Consort of Monaco, marrying Prince Rainier III.

Kelly receives considerable but disproportionate modern internet attention. With 2.2 million Wikipedia views in 2025, she registers an Attention Gap of +5x, indicating an overattention relative to her historical ranking. This level of online engagement surpasses that of much more historically significant figures, such as Erasmus (#182 importance) who garners only 529K views. Comparing her to her acting contemporaries, Kelly's 2.2M views are substantially lower than those for Robert De Niro (#562 importance, 5.7M views), suggesting a specific focus on her royal status rather than her cinematic work among modern searchers.

The data suggests a strong baseline interest, further indicated by a positive 2025 Momentum of +19% between Q1 and Q3, despite an overall year-over-year decline of -8.3% in views.
