Along with Joe Morton, you have also seen Grant in everything. Probably even more of everything.
While she got her start in 1979, her TV work since playing the fatally impatient Helen in Speed includes Friends, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Angel, The X-Files, CSI, Malcolm in the Middle, Everwood, Six Feet Under, Bones, Jericho, Pushing Daisies, Criminal Minds, King of the Hill, Modern Family, Dexter, Justified, Grey’s Anatomy, American Gods, The Mindy Project, A Series of Unfortunate Events, Goliath, Dollface, and Grace and Frankie.
At the same time she’s been moving seamlessly between notable indie films and massive movies: Todd Haynes‘ Safe, A Time to Kill, Dr. Dolittle, Donnie Darko, Pearl Harbor, Matchstick Men, Little Miss Sunshine, Flags of Our Fathers, No Country for Old Men, Crazy Heart, The Artist, Jackie and Amsterdam.
“Turn on your TV at night, one of the movie channels,” The Mindy Project‘s Ike Barinholtz told the Wilmington Star-News in 2013, “and count how many minutes until Beth Grant appears in one of those movies.”
Grant is also mom to actress Mary Chieffo with her actor husband since 1985, Michael Chieffo (whom you also have seen in many things!).
