Local starlet “Amazing Grace” with her trainer

Stevie Foster and Robert Duvall at Southern
States appearance, made her Hollywood film de-
but in “Get Low” with producer and star Duvall
and an all-star cast this October. Grace adds
a comforting presence and backup to Duvall’s
character Felix Bush, who has retreated from
the world for 40 years following an epochal per-
sonal tragedy. The movie is based on a true sto-
ry occuring in rural Tennessee in the early part
of the 20th Century and shows us what movie-
making at its best can remind us about what it
means to be truly human. - Good work, Grace
(and Stevie).
