Before GhostbustersAfterlife, Mckenna Grace was known for a string of roles in which she plays the younger version of a character, from Captain Marvel to Tonya Harding: 'I got to learn from all of the actresses that I played younger versions of.'
was 4 years old, her great-grandmother gave Grace her collection of DVDs starring Hollywood’s original precocious child actor, Shirley Temple. Grace was instantly captivated and, precocious herself, cajoled her young mother, Crystal, into signing her up for an acting class in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where they lived at the time.
Should it prove successful, “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” will make Grace the star of a major movie franchise before she’s earned her driver’s license. What’s even more striking, and impressive, is how much Grace still feels like a kid in a business that too often curdles child actors into cynical miniature adults.
Grace’s father, Ross, was just finishing medical school and poised to land a coveted residency in orthopedic surgery in Dallas. Splitting up the family was not an option, and they couldn’t afford to continually fly back and forth. But Mckenna’s parents also didn’t want to deny their daughter the opportunity to continue to act. So Ross applied to a highly competitive residency in Ventura, Calif., instead. Against steep odds, he got it.
“I just always looked at it as: She’s having fun, I’m having a blast, and it didn’t seem like it was hard on her,” Crystal said when asked about what limits she may have on her daughter’s career. “Whatever she wanted to do, I wanted her to be able to do it. And I think she always knew that we would never want her to do something that she doesn’t want to do.”That’s not to say that Grace’s parents haven’t drawn some clear boundaries.
