Even though she is only 19, she has an extensive acting career and has even dabbled as a singer-songwriter.&nbsp;
The young actress grew up in Grapevine, Texas, with parents with no connection to Hollywood.

Grace is known for her versatile and nuanced acting style. From crying on cue to throwing tantrums or screaming in horror, she brings realism and complexity to each character she portrays.

Her critically acclaimed role as Esther Keyes in the TV series The Handmaid&rsquo;s Tale earned her a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series, making her the first child recognized for a guest acting Emmy at that time.
