Inspired by the Marilyn Monroe thread I was wondering if another glamorous blonde actress of the period could make a plausible politician: Grace Kelly.
Assuming she never met Prince Ranier and thus stayed acting a little longer can we posit a shift into politics for her?
Kelly has several advantages Marilyn lacks. She was upper class and educated and her screen persona was more refined than Monroe's. Her family has political connections to the Democrats and she could probably generate a lot of Kennedy style excitement among Irish Americans.
