How old was McKenna Grace filming Gifted?
Grace, who was 9 when she shot “Gifted,” knows there are obvious parallels in the film to the life of a successful child actor, especially the notion that taking advantage of a kid’s preternatural talents can end up robbing them of a regular, everyday childhood. She just doesn’t see that applying to her own life.
