"HIGH SOCIETY - The Life of Grace Kelly" by Donald Spoto (Amazon.com:
http://xrl.us/GKelly )

Donald Spoto, in his new book, takes the unfashionable decision to
deny anything that smacks of rampancy. That distinct clatter you can
hear, as you turn the pages, is the sound of skeletons being crammed
back into the closet. Here are some of the people with whom Kelly,
contrary to what you may have heard, did NOT have an affair: the star
and the director, respectively, of �High Noon,� Gary Cooper and Fred
Zinnemann (�not a shred of evidence to support either rumor,� Spoto
writes), Ray Milland (�no one connected to �Dial M for Murder� was
aware of or spoke about any intrigue�), Bing Crosby, and, most
impressive of all, Clark Gable, on �Mogambo.� Spoto puts us straight
on that one right away: �A strong attraction is not invariably
expressed sexually, no matter how randy the principals� � a sentence
that grows curiouser and curiouser the more you peruse it...
