Mckenna Grace was born on June 25, 2006, in the small town of Grapevine in Texas. Her father is Ross Burge, an orthopedic surgeon; her mother's name is Crystal Grace.

McKenna became interested in the acting profession early. On her 5th birthday, her great grandfather gave her a collection of Shirley Temple films, and after watching them, Grace knew she'd found her calling. The family decided to enroll her in acting classes. Her teachers were blown away by the young actress's natural talent ‒ Mckenna "could do things that simply can't be taught." Soon, she had her own agent, who landed her first gig within a week ‒ a YMCA commercial.

Following her agent's advice, Mckenna and her parents headed to Los Angeles to audition for a leading role in the feature film Goodbye World (directed by Denis Hennelly). Much to the little girl's delight, she landed the part. The film was released in 2013 and received restrained feedback from viewers and critics. Still, being part of such a project gave the young actress a solid start.

As fate would have it, around this time Mckenna's father was accepted into an Orthopedic Surgery Residency Program in California, and soon his wife and 7-year-old Mckenna relocated to join him. The entertainment industry was now within reach, making it much easier to attend auditions.

By age 11, Mckenna had built up an impressive roster of roles. She was lucky to work with such Hollywood stars as Eddie Murphy and Britt Robertson in the drama Mr. Church (2016; dir. Bruce Beresford), Jeff Goldblum, and Judd Hirsch in the science fiction film Independence Day: Resurgence (2016).

In addition, the young girl has appeared in several popular TV series, such as Crash & Bernstein (2012-2014), The Young and the Restless (2013-2015), K.C. Undercover (2015), The Vampire Diaries (2015), Fuller House (2016-2018), and others ‒ by the 12th anniversary, the young actress had racked up about 25 TV series roles in total.

Critics, however, consider Grace's most significant work to be her lead role in the 2017 drama Gifted. The casting process lasted nearly 8 months, with over 600 young actors auditioning, but little Mckenna proved most convincing to the producers.

In the drama directed by Mark Webb starring Chris Evans, the young actress played a math prodigy with extraordinary abilities. Critics praised Grace's acting, noting: "Child actors who are too developed for their age are sometimes annoying, especially when they play wunderkind characters. But Mckenna Grace, with her watchful eyes and missing front teeth, delivers a charming and skillful performance that rivals Drew Barrymore in E.T. Extra-Terrestrial." This role earned her not only two prestigious award nominations (including the Critics' Choice Movie Awards), but also her first taste of real fame.
