A Guy's Girl
Career:
By age 17, Maggie Grace had made her film debut as Rachel Reed in Ellie Kanner's
flick Rachel's Room, with Julian Berlin, J.D. Black and Jen Eldridge. The next
year, Grace appeared in Noah Stern's Shop Club (alongside Jennifer Sky and Jenna
Mattison) and in Kip Koenig's show "Septuplets," which unfortunately got
cancelled before ever airing.
Also in 2002, Grace was cast to play Martha Moxley, a 15-year-old girl murdered
in Greenwich in the 1970's, in the mystery-crime TV movie adopted from Mark
Furhman's book, Murder in Greenwich (with Christopher Meloni and Robert
Forster). She then played the wild and unpredictable teenage daughter of Tom
Selleck and Wendy Crewson's characters in Richard Friedenberg's TV version of
Robert Boswell's book, 12 Mile Road (2003).
Grace made several guest appearances in an episode of "CSI: Miami," "Miracles,"
"Like Family," "Cold Case" and "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit." She also
played the reoccurring role of Elke in seven episodes of Howard Gewirtz's
brief-running adventure comedy series, the Fox’s "Oliver Beene" (starring Grant
Rosenmeyer). On the silver screen, Grace appeared alongside Chase Masterson and
Chris Hoffman in Michael Burnett's horror Creature Unknown (2004).
"There are plenty of guys to do her [her “Lost” character Shannon] bidding,
that's for sure." Maggie Grace
Shannon Rutherford, a spoilt, wealthy-girl who survived an airplane crash and is
left stranded on a deserted island, was Grace’s breakthrough role. She played
the role on the ABC island-survival drama, created by successful television
producer J.J Abrams, "Lost." The series, which debuted on TV in 2004, became a
huge hit and has been renewed for a second season. In the show, Grace joined 10
other main characters, including characters played by Matthew Fox, Evangeline
Lilly, Terry O'Quinn, Dominic Monaghan and Naveen Andrews.
"I've become a guy's girl overnight. There are nearly 200 men on set, including
crew and extras, but there are only four of us girls in the main cast. We have
our little girly lunches, but generally we all hang out as one big family."
