Grace VanderWaal strums her ukulele in the trailer for her upcoming acting debut in Stargirl!

The young singer is celebrating her 16th birthday today. Happy Birthday Grace!

Here’s a synopsis: Leo Borlock is an average student at Mica High School. He gets decent grades, is a member of the school’s marching band and has always been content flying under the radar. But all that changes when he meets Stargirl Caraway, a confident and colorful new student with a penchant for the ukulele, who stands out in a crowd.

She is kind, finds magic in the mundane and touches the lives of others with the simplest of gestures. Her eccentricities and infectious personality charm Leo and the student body, and she quickly goes from being ignored and ridiculed to accepted and praised, then back again, sending Leo on a rollercoaster ride of emotions.

Stargirl also stars Graham Verchere, Karan Brar, Darby Stanchfield, Maximiliano Hernandez, and Giancarlo Esposito, and will premiere March 13th on Disney+!

Gina Rodriguez and Grace VanderWaal walk the carpet while attending Disney’s D23 Expo on Friday (August 23) in Anaheim, Calif.

The two stars both were at the Disney+ to unveil the projects they are working on for the streaming service!

Gina is executive producing a new series called Diary of a Female President and she’ll also be a recurring guest star on the show. She was joined by star Tess Romero to announce that the series will premiere on Disney+ in January. Told using the narration from her diary, this half-hour single camera comedy follows 12-year-old Cuban-American girl Elena’s journey through the trials of middle school, which set her on the path to ultimately become president of the United States.

Grace was joined at the event by her Stargirl co-star Graham Verchere to announce that their coming-of-age film will launch on Disney+ in early 2020.

FYI: Gina and Tess are matching in their Ellie Mae Studios blazer and pants. Grace is wearing a Jonathan Cohen dress.
