[edit] Biography

Grace was born in Worthington, Ohio, but currently lives in Los Angeles.

Grace first appeared in an online weekly video webisode called Rachel's Room, which was showcased on the Sony Pictures site ScreenBlast (2001 - 2002). In the serial, Rachel was a teen captioned in her room dialoguing teen angst and her conflict with her mother and school teachers.

She launched her acting career in 2002, starring in Murder in Greenwich and Shop Club. In 2003, she played the Goth-influenced, estranged daughter of Tom Selleck and Wendy Crewson in the drama 12 Mile Road.

Grace’s big break came when she landed the role of the lazy and self-centered Shannon Rutherford in the critically-acclaimed TV series Lost. Her latest project, released in late 2005, was the nearly universally-panned ^[1] remake of the John Carpenter [1] film, The Fog, co-starring Tom Welling of Smallville.

Grace was rumored to play Kitty Pryde (Shadowcat) in X-Men 3 ^[2], but this was quickly proven false, and the role went to Ellen Page. Maggie herself stated in an interview she was never contacted about the role and was surprised to read she was up for the part in question.^[3]

She is rumored to be dating fellow Lost actor Ian Somerhalder, who played her step-brother Boone in the series^{[citation needed]}.
