Sally Grace was born in Harrogate, West Riding of Yorkshire, England, on 10 September 1951. She trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

Grace voiced the part of Elena in BBC Radio 4's adaptions of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul. Her animation roles include the voices of pompous Owl, loud Weasel, and demure but strong-willed Charmer in the popular TV series The Animals of Farthing Wood.
