Ahney Her, Clint Eastwood’s co-star in “Gran Torino” (the movie shot in the Detroit area and reportedly Eastwood’s last acting performance) will visit Grand Rapids and meet moviego-ers as the movie opens Friday in West Michigan theaters.
Her is a Lansing native and will be making her feature film debut in “Gran
Torino” as the self assured young woman who makes an effort to befriend her surly next-door neighbor, Walt Kowalski, played by Clint Eastwood.
Her was 16 years old when she won the role of Sue Lor.
Although she had not acted professionally, she loved performing and had trained for three years in a local drama school. Her is an avid student and plans to attend college and study both photography and interior design.
Her will watch the Grand Rapids opening night of “Gran Torino” at 7:00pm at Celebration! Cinema North (East Beltline and Knapp Street in Grand Rapids) then meet and greet movie-goers after the movie at approximately 9:00pm.
