“On Ghostbusters, there wasn’t much room for a big, bulky back brace to be hidden. I simply kept it to myself for the most part, though. I didn’t want productions to overthink it and believe that I was a problem even though it’s not the kind of thing that is a liability, “She talked to The Hollywood Reporter about this.
Grace said that she had to have her outfits adjusted for her numerous projects owing to her health, and she also took a break from The Handmaid’s Tale production.
“With everything I was doing, scheduling a surgery was quite challenging. I had been filming since about May, and after finishing that project, I immediately began another one that required six days each week of labour, or adult hours, and lasted for one month “She spoke up.
