Who was her "Prince"? Ray Milland as Tony Wendice, English ex-professional tennis player or Robert Cummings as Mark Halliday, American crime-fiction writer or John Williams as Chief Inspector Hubbard ?

In 1954, she acted as Lisa Carol Fremont in the movie "Rear Window"
Had James Stewart as L. B. "Jeff" Jeffries, an professional photographer breaking his leg become her "Prince"?

In 1955, she acted as Frances Stevens in the movie "To Catch A Thief"
Had Cary Grant as John Robie retired jewel thief nicknamed "The Cat" become her "Prince"?
