Grace of My Heart
For years her songs brought fame to other people. Then she found her own voice.
Directed by Allison Anders
Produced by Universal Pictures, Gramercy Pictures
A warm, music-driven coming-of-age story about a young woman finding her artistic voice and identity in the golden age of rock 'n' roll.
Philadelphia teenager Edna Buxton wins a talent contest during the early rock 'n' roll era, changes her name to Denise Waverly and moves to New York City to make it big. Though she flops as a recording artist, fast-talking record producer Joel Millner recognizes her songwriting talent and teams her with struggling songsmith Howard Caszatt.
