The Bridesmaid's Daughter

The Bridesmaid's Daughter: From Grace Kelly's Wedding to a Women's Shelter -- Searching for the Truth about My Mother by Nina Gyles  and Eve Claxton  265 pp.

Carolyn Scott was one of the early models with the famous Eileen Ford Agency in the 1950s. While living in the Barbazon Women's Hotel in NYC she met and became friends with budding actress and model, Grace Kelly who would become Princess Grace of Monaco. In this book her daughter chronicles Carolyn's life which went from Steubenville, Ohio to a successful career, a marriage and motherhood, to mental illness that rendered her homeless in spite of those who tried to help her. As these types of stories go, it is tragic. As these type of books go, this one was underwhelming.
