In 2001, she married Harry Potter actor David Thewlis, 61, before they split up in 2010.
However, she gave birth to her daughter Gracie in 2005, and now she is all grown up.
AT the age of 19-years-old, she now seems set to enter the industry alongside her parents.
Although instead of drama and the world of film and TV, she intends to embark on a career in music.
The teenager often takes to her social media accounts as she shares snippets of her music efforts.
A recent clip of the personality showed her singing a track while she played on her guitar.
In 2023, Gracie opened up on her aspirations as she explained how much she loves to write music.
“I write a lot of songs with the guitar and I’m getting better the older I get,” she explained.
As she continues to write songs, she has made sure to get the best equipment as she also recently flaunted her speakers and the recording equipment that she uses.
Actress Anna is also known for her role in the ITV and Netflix murder mystery series, Marcella, which won her an International Emmy Award.

In an interview in 2020, she confirmed that her daughter does not want to be an actor, although she does have a creative side.
The actress told The Mail: “Her dad’s such a fine actor, she’s grown up on so many sets.
“She loves the creative world but she’s more into her music. Playing guitar is her escape.”
After her split from David, Anna later married another Harry Potter star, Rhys Ifans in 2011.
However, the pair later called time on their relationship three years later in 2014.
Anna reflected on her personal life as she explained: “It has basically been the two of us since Gracie was five, so we’re a little unit.
“During the third year of her life, she went to ten countries. Everywhere I go, I take her.”
