Nancy Grace is an American political commentator, author, and broadcast journalist. She is most famous for hosting her own TV show, Nancy Grace, and Closing Arguments. Nancy Ann Grace was born on October 23, 1959, in Macon, Georgia. She was raised in a working-class family. Grace studied at Valdosta State University and then at Mercer University, where she received her bachelor's degree. She had initially aspired to become a teacher, but the untimely death of her fiancé, Keith Griffin, changed her mind and she chose to attend law school instead. She received her Juris Doctorate from Mercer University's Walter F. George School of Law, located in New York City.
Nancy Grace started her career as a special prosecutor in the District Attorney's office in Georgia, where she worked for over ten years dealing with crimes such as serial rape, child molestation, arson, and serial murder. After her career as a prosecutor, she was offered the position of legal commentator on Court TV by its founder, Steven Brill.
She started working on the show alongside Johnnie Cochran, and after Cochran's exit from the show, she handled the duties on her own. She then started working on the primetime legal analysis show on CNN Headline News in 2005, along with her Court TV show. She left her Court TV show in 2007. She has appeared on acclaimed shows such as Good Morning America and The Oprah Winfrey Show. In 2006, Nancy Grace interviewed Melinda Duckett concerning the disappearance of her two-year-old son. Melinda was unable to answer the questions Grace had put forth regarding the events of the day when her son disappeared.
Melinda shot herself the next day, and her death was attributed to the media scrutiny she was under, especially her interview with Grace. Grace was also involved in another controversial case, the Duke Lacrosse scandal, where she took a pro-prosecution position. She was also involved in the controversy regarding the Elizabeth Smart kidnapping case, where she claimed Ricci to be guilty, who died during custody. It was later proved that he was not guilty. Aside from her work on TV, Nancy Grace is also an author. Her first book, titled 'The Eleventh Victim', was published in 2009. It involves the story of a young psychology student whose fiancé is murdered just before their wedding, and she prosecutes violent crimes and is left to face the consequences.
Grace has also helped to establish a hotline for helping women in distress at the battered women's center in Atlanta. Nancy Grace has an estimated net worth of over $25 million dollars.
