Nancy Grace

An outspoken advocate for victims’ rights and a respected legal analyst, Nancy Grace has been a prominent presence on television, headlining A&E’s series "Grace vs. Abrams" since March 2018 and making regular appearances on ABC’s "Good Morning America." She is the founder and publisher of CrimeOnline.com, a platform dedicated to breaking crime news, raising awareness of missing individuals, and spotlighting cold cases. "Crime Stories with Nancy Grace," a daily program hosted by her, is aired on SIRIUS XM’s Triumph Channel 132 and available as a podcast. Grace was previously the driving force behind the top-rated "Nancy Grace" on CNN Headline News (HLN).

A former prosecutor with a notable record, Grace has appeared on programs such as "The Oprah Winfrey Show," "The View," "The Today Show," "Dr. Oz," "Dr. Phil," and "Larry King Live," sharing her insights into the justice system. She also competed in "Dancing with the Stars" Season 13, finishing in the Top 5, with all her earnings from the show benefiting the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. In 2011, she was acknowledged as one of the most impactful women in entertainment by Variety and The Hollywood Reporter.

Grace is also a successful author. Her first book, "Objection!," was a New York Times best-seller upon its release in 2005. Her novels "The Eleventh Victim" and "Death on the D-List" followed, also reaching best-seller status. Additionally, "The Eleventh Victim" was adapted into a television movie by Lifetime in November 2012, with Grace serving as an executive producer. Her novel "Murder in the Courthouse" was released on October 11, 2016, coinciding with a series of Hallmark movies featuring her character Hailey Dean. She executive produced "Hailey Dean Mystery: Murder, With Love," which premiered on October 23, 2016, with subsequent installments released in 2017.

Grace has received several "Gracie Awards" from the American Women in Radio & Television for her investigative work on Court TV. She has also been honored by various organizations such as the Carole Sund/Carrington Foundation and Crime Victims United of California for her advocacy on behalf of victims’ rights.

The murder of her fiancé, Keith Griffin, in 1979 profoundly impacted Grace’s life, steering her away from a prospective career as an English professor to one in criminal justice. She graduated from Mercer Law School, where she was on the Law Review, and earned a degree in constitutional and criminal law from New York University. She also volunteered over 10 years at an Atlanta battered women’s center.

Grace began her television career at the Atlanta Fulton County District Attorney’s Office, where she spent over a decade as a special prosecutor of serious felony cases. She co-hosted Court TV’s "Cochran and Grace" and "Closing Arguments," and later presided over "Swift Justice with Nancy Grace," which earned her an Emmy® Award nomination.
