Grace of My Heart (1996)

Overview · Where to watch · Cast & crew · Reviews

For years her songs brought fame to other people. Then she found her own voice.

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.
