Career

She transitioned to film with a small role as Amelia Earhart’s granddaughter in The Bone Collector (1999), starring Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie.

Her breakout came in 2000 with Snow Day, where she played Natalie Brandston, earning praise for her comedic timing alongside Chevy Chase and Mark Webber. She followed this with a supporting role as Megan in Max Keeble’s Big Move (2001), acting with Alex D. Linz and Josh Peck, and appeared on Nickelodeon’s All That.

Grey’s career gained momentum with roles in Summer Catch (2001) and In Good Company (2004), where she played Jana Foreman opposite Topher Grace and Scarlett Johansson. In 2006, she portrayed Carly Douglas, Tim Allen’s daughter, in Disney’s The Shaggy Dog, a role that highlighted her ability to shine in family comedies.

She took on guest roles in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (2003) as Samantha Gilligan and The Job (2002). Her final major film role was Penelope Bryte in Wes Craven’s My Soul to Take (2010), a horror film that showcased her versatility.
