Makenzie Vega was an American actor best known for her portrayal of Grace Florrick, the daughter of the titular protagonist of "The Good Wife" (CBS 2009-16). Born Makenzie Jade Vega in Los Angeles, CA, she showed a very precocious ability for acting. Her first credited on-screen appearance was a small role in the made-for-TV movie version of the very popular show "Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman" (CBS 1993-98). At the young age of five, Vega was a regular cast member of the short-lived sitcom "The Geena Davis Show" (ABC 2000-01). She portrayed Eliza Ryan, the smallest child of Teddie Cochran (Davis). In 2000, Vega appeared on her first feature film where she once again played another precocious daughter, this time as Nicolas Cage's youngest child in the Christmas dramedy "The Family Man." Afterwards the child actress continued to land small roles in feature films, which included the horror film "Saw" (2004), the visually impressive "Sin City" (2005), and "X-Men: Last Stand" (2006). Vega resumed her work on television in 2006. She made guest appearances on the legal drama "Justice" (Fox 2006), "The Ghost Whisperer" (CBS 2005-2010), and "ER" (NBC 1994-2009). Vega landed her biggest role to date in 2009 as a regular in the legal drama "The Good Wife." She portrayed Grace, the daughter of Julianna Margulies' title character, high-profile attorney Alicia Florrick.
