Gracie Hart is the main protagonist of the 2000 comedy film Miss Congeniality and its 2005 sequel Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous.
She is an FBI agent who is forced to go undercover at the worst possible place. A beauty pageant, to stop a criminal from causing a disaster. She hates all things girly and thinks that girls in beauty pageants are just brainless airheads that have nothing better to do in their lives.
Early life
Gracie was a very tough kid and most likely wanted to become a cop or an FBI agent. She was not afraid to stand up to bullies or people older or bigger than her. But she was not incapable of feelings because she stopped the boy she liked from getting bullied but ended up braking his nose too when he insulted her.
Miss Congeniality
We go forward in time to when Gracie Hart is working for the Federal Bureau of Investigation with Eric Matthews as a Special Agent. On a mission, she does not follow orders from her superior and instead tries to stop their target from choking. Because of her actions, one of her squad gets shot, and she is put on a desk job. The bureau receives a threat against the 75th annual Miss United States beauty pageant in San Antonio, Texas, from notorious domestic terrorist "The Citizen". Eric is elected to lead the mission to stop the attack. A computer search identifies Hart as the female FBI agent best qualified to go undercover as a contestant, although she pays little attention to her femininity. Beauty pageant coach Victor Melling, whose reputation was ruined after his last contestant criticized his methods, teaches the tomboyish Hart how to dress, walk, and act like a contestant. She is not used to such behavior, however, and sees the pageant and its participants as "outdated and antifeminist". Representing New Jersey as "Gracie Lou Freebush", Hart impresses the audience by playing the glass harp and demonstrating self-defense techniques during the talent competition. She unexpectedly becomes friends with the other contestants. Several suspects exist, including corrupted competition director and former pageant winner Kathy Morningside; her unpleasant assistant Frank Tobin; veteran MC Stan Fields who, like Morningside, is being replaced with a younger person; and Rhode Island's Cheryl Frasier, possibly a radical animal rights activist. The Citizen is caught elsewhere, but Hart is beginning to suspect Kathy Morningside and is worried about the safety of the girls. She gives up her badge and gun and continues the investigation alone. Matthews, after failing to support Hart, is about to leave for the bureau when he works out that Hart's suspicions were correct, and returns to help her. Hart surprises everyone, including herself, by becoming runner-up to Cheryl. The agents discover that Morningside and Tobin - secretly her son - impersonated Citizen due to her old grudge against the contest, and are attempting to murder Cheryl with a bomb in the title tiara and let Hart take the blame. However, Hart and Matthews save the day, and they arrest Morningside and her secret son, despite Morningside's claims that Hart is the culprit, to which Hart does not believe her story. Hart's fellow contestants choose her as Miss Congeniality, and she starts a relationship with Matthews.
•There is some inconsistency with her age. She looks roughly 7 years old in the first film's intro, which is set in 1982. Moreover, she correctly says she is 30 in the first film, but erroneously says she is 35 in the second film (both films are set in 2000).
In 1982, 10-year-old Gracie Hart breaks up a school fight between two boys, one of whom is a bully and the other, her crush. The boy she likes is humiliated, being saved by a girl, and he rudely rejects her; Gracie punches him and the latter leaves.
Mar 23, 2005 · You will recall that Gracie Hart (Bullock) is an FBI agent who in the first film impersonated a beauty pageant contestant in order to infiltrate — but enough about that plot, since all you need to know is that the publicity from the pageant has made her so famous that “MC2” opens with a bank robber recognizing her and aborting an FBI sting.
Her partner Sam Fuller (Regina King), a tough, ambitious agent who is clearly not her biggest fan, is the first to point out that the pampered Bureau star is turning into FBI Barbie. But when Gracie's best friend, pageant winner Cheryl (Heather Burns) and emcee Stan Fields (William Shatner) are kidnapped in Las Vegas, Gracie's crime-fighting ...
