About Grace Halpern
Grace Halpern is an LA and NYC-based actor, filmmaker, and playwright.
Like a true LA native, Grace has been doing commercial work and plays since she could walk.
As an actor, she made her feature-length debut in Kansas Bowling’s “Cuddly Toys.” She has also been featured in films and short films. Her own short film "Baby Talk," ran the 2023 festival circuit (California Women's Film Festival, RSFF, LA Indie Women's Film Awards, 938 Collective, and Vienna’s Independent Film Festival).
She co-wrote a screenplay adaptation of a children's book, Santa's Secret Sled. Her play "Knowing You is a Delight to my Human Experience" was shown at Stagefemme's one act festival in 2022. She also starred in her own one-woman play, The Shame Game, which she performed at Kenyon College in 2019.
Most recently, she has been writing on her Substack, working on a couple of internet shows, hosting "BB UR A STAR" (a local film festival), and acting all the dang time!
