The magazine hailed her as the top movie star who brought about "a startling change from the run of smoky film sirens and bumptious cuties". She was described as the "Girl in White Gloves" because she wore "prim and noticeable white gloves", and journalists often called her the "lady" or "Miss Kelly" for this reason. In appreciation of her work with Hitchcock in three of his films, Kelly later wrote a foreword to the book ''The Art of Alfred Hitchcock'' by [[Donald Spoto]]. Spoto also has written ''High Society: The Life of Grace Kelly'', a biography published 25 years after her death.{{sfn|Spoto|2010|p=4}} In 1982, the [[Princess Grace Foundation-USA]] was established by her husband to continue the work she had done anonymously during her lifetime, assisting emerging theater, dance and film artists in America.

The Princess Grace Awards, a program of the Princess Grace Foundation-USA, has awarded nearly 800 artists at more than 100 institutions in the U.S. with more than $15 million to date. The foundation also says it "holds the exclusive rights and facilitates the licensing of her name and likeness throughout the world."<ref name="pgfusa">{{cite web | url=http://www.pgfusa.org/licensing | title=Licensing | publisher=Princess Grace Foundation-USA |access-date=May 14, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220202084756/https://pgfusa.org/licensing/|archive-date=February 2, 2022|url-status=live}}</ref> Her daughter Princess Caroline took over as president for both the Foundation and [[AMADE Mondiale]] after her death, with Prince Albert as vice president.
