Her television work includes recurring roles in The Newsroom and American Horror Story: Freak Show, and as cast regular in Extant and Mr. Robot.
Gummer was born in New York City to actress Meryl Streep and sculptor Don Gummer. She grew up in Los Angeles and Connecticut with her older siblings, musician Henry Wolfe Gummer and actress Mamie Gummer, and younger sister, actress and model Louisa Jacobson. Grace attended Poly Prep for high school.
Gummer attended Vassar College, her mother's alma mater, and received a degree in art history and Italian in 2008. At Vassar, she was involved in its collaborative theater group Woodshed Theater Ensemble and spent a year studying abroad in Bologna, Italy. During this period, Gummer worked as a docent at Dia:Beacon, as well as for costume designer Ann Roth and the Tirelli Costumi costume shop in Rome. She later interned for fashion designer Zac Posen's design department.
Gummer made her screen acting debut (billed as Jane Grey) in the 1993 film The House of the Spirits, as the younger version of her mother's character, Clara del Valle. She had her next professional acting job after graduating college; in 2008, she starred Off-Off-Broadway in Lukas Bärfuss's The Sexual Neuroses of Our Parents. She originally was asked to help with the play's costume design but ended up auditioning and getting cast in its lead role.
From 2010 until 2011, she starred as Anna Moore on the TeenNick show Gigantic, which premiered on October 8, 2010. She said that she used the show "as a platform to be able to launch [herself] forward." Gummer appeared in the 2010 film Meskada, in which she played the role of Nat Collins, before playing Abby in 2010's Bashert with Paulo Costanzo. In December 2010, Gummer played the role of Hero in a Los Angeles production of Much Ado About Nothing, opposite Helen Hunt. She also had a small role as a student in Julia Roberts' class in the 2010 film Larry Crowne, which was directed by Tom Hanks; she shared many scenes in Larry Crowne with future Mr. Robot castmate Rami Malek.
In the spring of 2011, Gummer made her Broadway debut, performing the role of Chloë Coverly in the revival of Arcadia by Tom Stoppard at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre in New York. The following year, she acted in her second Broadway production, The Columnist, opposite John Lithgow.
Gummer appeared as Katie Rand on the NBC television series Smash on March 26, 2012, in the episode entitled "The Coup"; her character is a humanitarian attempting to bring peace to her divorcing parents, including her mother, played by Anjelica Huston.
Beginning in 2013, Gummer began having more, and higher profile, roles on television, having been cast in a series of recurring and main parts. Gummer had a recurring role as FBI agent Paige Willis on the television series Zero Hour, which aired in the early Spring of 2013. During this time, she also joined the cast of the HBO series The Newsroom. Gummer appeared in ten episodes as journalist Hallie Shea, beginning with the second episode of Season 2 on July 21, 2013.
