Mae Margaret Whitman (born June 9, 1988) is a young American actress who participates in State Of Grace, along with Alia Shawkat, among others. She plays 12 year old Grace on the show.
Mae started out going to an audition for a voice over in a commercial about Tyson Chickens. She got the job, beating out her own mother for it. This caused a lot of surprise to her mother Pat Musick who is an accomplished actress herself, but it was satisfying to her finding out young Mae had gotten some of the skills she did.
