During World War II Conant stationed at Pearl Harbor[5] and was part of the Naval photographic team operating under Admiral Chester W. Nimitz.[4] Conant later took pictures for Life, Look and Paris Match among other publications, and photographed celebrities from Elizabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn to American presidents Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy. Conant died at his home in Carefree, Arizona in 1999. He was survived by his wife, Dorothy; with whom he had four children.[4] Grace KellyIn 1955 Conant was commissioned by Photoplay magazine to do a cover shoot with Grace Kelly, then a leading film actress. Following the Photoplay shoot, Kelly holidayed in Jamaica, with her sister, and invited Conant. He photographed her without makeup in a naturalistic setting, a departure from the traditional portrayal of actresses.[6] The resulting photographs were published in the June 24 issue of Collier's magazine, with a celebrated photo of Kelly rising from the water with wet hair making the cover.[6][7] Conant wrote that he thought that Kelly's sole flaw in her appearance was her jaw, which he considered too square.[4] He would use a dog or a baby to disguise it when photographing her below her jaw.[4] Conant later said that "You trusted Grace's beauty...You knew it wasn't built from clothes and makeup...this was Grace: natural, unpretentious".[7] Kelly sailed on the SS Constitution from New York to Monaco for her marriage to Prince Rainier in 1956.[4] Many photographers were on board the ship, but only Conant had access to Kelly. Following her marriage Conant was the unofficial photographer to the House of Grimaldi, and extensively photographed Kelly, her husband and their three children.[4] In 1992 Conant published Grace, a book of photographs that he took during Kelly's 26-year reign as Princess of Monaco.[8] In September 1982, Conant was planning a trip to Monaco to take the family's official Christmas portrait. Upon hearing that Princess Grace had died in a car accident, he left without his photographic equipment.[4] Conant remained friends with Prince Rainier until his death.[9] References1. ^U.S., Social Security Applications and Claims Index, 1936-2007 {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Conant, Howell}}2. ^"United States Social Security Death Index," index, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/V9RK-WJ3 : accessed 25 Nov 2014), Howell Conant, 11 Mar 1999; citing U.S. Social Security Administration, Death Master File, database (Alexandria, Virginia: National Technical Information Service, ongoing). 3. ^{{cite news|title=Howell T.
