Grant Harper Reid Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018

'Grant Harper Reid Author'''''Rhythm For Sale Grant Harper Reid worked in the entertainment industry for decades tasking mainly in the thankless job of setting and servicing movie locations in New York City. You name the film or television show and Grant was involved or "down with it". He worked with many greats like Meryl Streep, Mike Nichols, Nora Ephron, Francis Coppola and Sir Alan Parker. When the black film movement came to the fore Grant was also on board working from Spike Lee all the way up to classic Afro-American director Charles Lane on his Sidewalk Stories.One of the highlights of Grant's works was when he directed Michael Jackson in a documentary for Motown/Commodore Entertainment in Madison Square Garden.

Grant was determined to make
