I didn't mind her. Speaking of Grace Kelly, I thought Rear Window and Dial M for Murder were both more entertaining than North by North West.

At least Saint was better than Tippi Hedren (but worse than Kim Novak imo). No one came close to Kelly though, she was not only one of the most beautiful actresses ever, she also had charisma. Hitchcock's obsession with blondes (and Kelly in particular) is well documented and demonstrates the dark side of his personality.

Rear Window is a better movie than NbN, but the latter is more entertaining with its lighter tone in my opinion. Both are brilliant movies, though. I never really liked Dial M for Murder. I could name quite a few Hitchcock movies I like more (Psycho, Vertigo, The 39 Steps, to name just 3).
