McKenna Grace reprises her lead role as Phoebe in “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,” which led the weekend box office with $45 million. At 17 she is not yet a household name, but she laid some groundwork early: At age six she had a supporting role on the Disney Channel sitcom “Crash & Bernstein.” Later she received an Emmy nomination for her work in “The Handmaid’s Tale,” and portrayed the younger selves for the leads in movies like “I, Tonya” and “Captain Marvel.”
Her “Ghostbusters” co-star is Finn Wolfhard, who made his debut at 13 in CW’s “Supernatural” before starring in “Stranger Things” and “It.” Zendaya, star of “Dune: Part Two,” got her start as a Disney Channel regular. Her co-star, Oscar-nominated Austin Butler, cut his teeth at Nickelodeon.

Many actors have earned praise for their work in the acclaimed series The Handmaid’s Tale, but Mckenna Grace is the youngest. The now-16-year-old began acting professionally as a child, appearing in soap operas and Disney Channel productions. Over the past several years, Grace has landed high-profile roles, including Phoebe Spengler in the 2021 film Ghostbusters: Afterlife. However, her work in the acclaimed Hulu series The Handmaid’s Tale really got critics and fans talking. Recently, Grace threw fans a curve ball by releasing a music project that proves she’s more than a talented actor — she’s also a gifted singer-songwriter.
