THE OKLAHOMAN NEWS0K.COM 12A THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 2005 Prince Rainier dies at 81 Longtime newsman dies at 79 sion networks interrupted programming with documentaries on Rainier's life and reactions to his death. 'The builder prince' Before age slowed him, Rainier poured his energies into public works, earning the name "the builder prince." He put Monaco which is smaller than New York's Central Park on the world map with his April 18, 1956, marriage to Kelly, who gave up Hollywood fame to become Princess Grace. Albert, 47, has been groomed from birth to succeed Rainier.

Monaco's televi died at a hospital overlooking Monaco's yacht-filled main harbor.
Rainier had been treated there for the past month for heart, kidney and breathing problems. Albert took over the royal powers last week because of Rainier's ill health. Rainier's funeral will be held April 15 at the 19th-century Monaco Cathedral where he and Princess Grace wed. He is expected to be buried alongside her. Rainier met Kelly in 1955 when he was 31 and she was the 25-year-old star attraction of the Cannes Film Festival.
She already had an Oscar from the 1954 film "The Country Girl." In January 1956, they announced their engagement and were married in April. Ten months later they had the first of their three children, Caro- ASSOCIATED PRESS Prince Rainier III of Monaco waves from the balcony of the Monaco Palace on Nov. 19, 2000. line.
