McKenna Grace, now widely recognized for her impressive body of work at such a young age, began making waves in Hollywood long before she turned ten. It’s no exaggeration to say that McKenna Grace was destined for the spotlight—her journey kicked off during a family vacation to Los Angeles when she auditioned on a whim and landed her first role. Born on June 25, 2006, in Texas, McKenna Grace quickly transitioned from that initial opportunity into a full-fledged acting career. Her screen debut came with the Disney XD series Crash & Bernstein (2012–14), where McKenna Grace portrayed the feisty younger sister to Cole Jensen’s character and his puppet sidekick—a role that showcased her natural charisma early on.
From there, McKenna Grace seemed to be everywhere, effortlessly moving between guest appearances on daytime and primetime television. She took on a recurring role in the long-running soap opera The Young and the Restless (CBS/HDTV, 1973– ) and appeared in popular tween-focused shows like Dog with a Blog (Disney Channel, 2012–15). She even lent her voice to animated projects such as Pickle and Peanut (Disney XD, 2015– ), further demonstrating her versatility. As her reputation grew, so did the significance of her roles. McKenna Grace stepped into the shoes of a young Emma Swan on Once Upon a Time (ABC, 2011– ), bringing depth and charm to the beloved fairy tale character.
Around the same time, McKenna Grace secured a prominent spot on the political drama Designated Survivor (ABC, 2016– ), playing the youngest daughter of Kiefer Sutherland’s president—a role that brought her wider recognition. Despite her packed schedule, McKenna Grace still found time to explore voice acting, contributing to the energetic cast of The Angry Birds Movie (2016), and appearing in the sci-fi sequel Independence Day: Resurgence (2016). But it was in 2017 that McKenna Grace truly broke through in film, earning critical praise for her touching performance opposite Chris Evans in Gifted. That same year, she added more variety to her repertoire with roles in the comedy How to Be a Latin Lover, starring Eugenio Derbez, and the supernatural thriller Amityville: The Awakening. All in all, McKenna Grace has built an extraordinary resume at a remarkably young age, and her career continues to evolve with each new project.
When it comes to Mckenna Grace’s filmography, fans and critics alike often point to Frankenstein (2015) as her standout performance—yes, that’s right, Mckenna Grace in Frankenstein (2015)—which happens to be her highest-rated movie to date.
