When her friend Grace Kelly married Prince Rainier with great ceremony in 1956, Ava Gardner accompanied by MGM publicity man Morgan Hodgins, assisted in a gala performance at the Monte Carlo opera house to celebrate the wedding.

MGM publicity man Morgan Hodgins assists actress Ava Gardner up the grand staircase of the Monte Carlo opera house. Smiling in his top hat and formal coat, he holds her clutch as she navigates the steps in a voluminous ball gown adorned with floral appliqués. Gardner, her hair in an updo with a sparkling tiara, was attending a gala performance to celebrate the 1956 wedding of her friend Grace Kelly to Prince Rainier.
