Maggie Grace: biography and career



Margaret Grace Denig best known as Maggie Grace was born on September 21, 1983, in Columbus, Ohio. Her parents divorced "amicably" when she was 16 years old. Grace dropped out of high school to move to Los Angeles, California with her mother, while her younger siblings Ian and Marissa continued to live with their father.
She landed her first role as the title character in the web-based video series Rachel’s Room in 2001. She went on to earn a Young Artist Award nomination in 2002 with her portrayal of 15-year-old murder victim Martha Moxley in the television movie Murder in Greenwich. In 2003, at the age of 20, she played a creepy, Goth-influenced estranged daughter of Wendy Crewson and Tom Selleck in the drama Twelve Mile Road (2003), but her big break didn't come until one year later, playing the beautiful Shannon Rutherford on the hit ABC island-survival drama "Lost" (2004). Grace's next role was in the 2007 independent film Suburban Girl, alongside Sarah Michelle Gellar and Alec Baldwin. In 2007, she starred in The Jane Austen Book Club, based on Karen Joy Fowler's novel of the same name. She starred in the 2008 thriller film Taken with Liam Neeson. She recently played the lead in Simon Fellows' Malice in Wonderland. In 2010, Grace appeared opposite Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz in James Mangold's film Knight and Day, as well as in Faster, with Dwayne Johnson. On September 2010, it was revealed that Grace was chosen to play Irina in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.
