Margaret Grace Denig (born September 21, 1983) is an American actress, who, under the stage name Maggie Grace is best known for her work on the Television series Lost as Shannon Rutherford.
Grace was born in Columbus, Ohio, but currently lives in Los Angeles.
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, though, 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 autumn of 2005 was the nearly universally panned horror film , The Fog, co-starring Tom Welling of Smallville.
Grace was supposed to play Kitty Pryde (Shadowcat) in X-Men 3, but when the film's first director Bryan Singer left the project and Brett Ratner took over, the role went to Ellen Page.
