Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly's Love Affair
There is so much Hollywood History that we discover from reading personal letters from the starts long after they pass, and that is just what happened when we recently learned that Bing Crosby once asked Grace Kelly to marry him.
After a day on the set of 1954's The Country Girl, Grace Kelly loved to write letters to her then-fiancé, Oleg Cassini.

Bing, then 51, reportedly fell hard for Grace, 25, and proposed marriage, but in her letters, Grace sought to set Oleg's mind at ease.

Obviously, Grace never married Bing and she would ultimately call off her engagement to Oleg when she met Monaco's Prince Rainier in 1955.
Ah, what could have been. We ❤️ that someone who understood the importance of these letters set the record straight. Without it, Hollywood History might just become...history. xoxoxo
