Margaret Grace
Denig (born September 21, 1983) is an American actress,
who, under the stage name Maggie Grace, is best known
for her work as Shannon Rutherford on the television
series Lost.
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
remake of the John Carpenter film, The Fog, co-starring
Tom Welling of Smallville.
Having only started acting professionally in 2000,
Maggie Grace already has an enviable list of credits. A
native of Columbus, Ohio, Grace made her television
debut in 2002 as Martha Moxley in the telefilm Murder in
Greenwich. She also starred in the telefilm 12 Mile
Road, opposite Tom Selleck. In addition to a recurring
role on Oliver Beene, she has guest-starred on Law &
Order: SVU, Cold Case, Lyon's Den and CSI: Miami. Grace
also had a starring role in the film The Fog.
Grace was rumored to play Kitty Pryde (Shadowcat) in
X-Men 3, but when she could not get out of her contract
with Lost, 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. She is rumored to be dating fellow Lost
actor Ian Somerhalder, who played her step-brother Boone
in the series.
With bright blond hair, glowing skin and bikini-perfect
proportions, Maggie Grace is just the girl many men
would like to get lost on a desert island with, so it
came as no surprise that she was cast into stardom as
the spoiled, pouty castaway Shannon Rutherford on
ABC’s hit drama “Lost” (2004- ) after just two
years of acting professionally.
Born in Columbus, Ohio, on September 21, 1983, Grace
started acting in her late teens, beginning in 2002. The
Midwesterner quickly developed an enviable resume,
appearing in two USA TV movies, as the real-life murder
victim Martha Moxley at the center of a mystery
involving a member of the Kennedy clan in “Murder in
Greenwich” (USA 2002), and opposite Tom Selleck in
“12 Mile Road USA” (2003). She played Hope Wilde in
pilot of Fox’s “Septuplets” (2002) and made
independent films “Shop Club” (2002) and “Creature
Unknown” (2003).
Grace has also made appearances on a variety of hit
shows. In 2003 alone, she had recurring appearances on
Fox’s “Oliver Beene” and guest spots on ABC’s
“Miracles,” CBS’ “CSI Miami,” on Rob Lowe’s
short-lived vehicle, “The Lyon’s Den.”
In 2004 Grace also appeared on episodes of the network
dramas “Law and Order: Special Victim’s Unit,”
“Like Family" and “Cold Case” before joining
the ensemble of the breakout hit drama “Lost”
teaming with Ian Sommerhalder as one of a pair of
step-siblings who shared a troubling personal history
even before becoming stranded on the mysterious island.
On the feature film side, she also made a foray into
horror with a leading role in the murky 2005 remake of
the John Carpenter classic "The Fog." As her
stock in Hollywood rose, audiences were surprised when
her character was abruptly killed off shortly into
"Lost's" second season.
