Her parents were of Swedish and Norwegian descent. She began her childhood with her younger brother in Highland Park, which is an affluent suburb outside of Chicago. However, her father worked as an investment banker, and was transferred to different corporate branches often, so she moved with the family frequently while young. Prior to her entering high school, she had lived in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and the Chicago metropolitan area. The family settled down in Palo Alto, California, and she briefly attended Palo Alto Senior High School then transferred to the private, all-girls Castilleja School.

She married aspiring filmmaker Gerald Slick in 1961, and the couple moved to San Francisco. While in California, she worked as a model for I. Magnin & Company department stores, and she began to compose music.Early Career: She first considered going into the music industry as career in 1965 after reading an article about the newly formed band Jefferson Airplane. Soon afterwards, she formed a band called The Great Society with her playing guitar and singing vocals, her husband on drums, his brother Darby Slick playing lead guitar, and David Miner on bass guitar. Soon after their first performance as a band, she wrote and composed the psychedelic piece “White Rabbit.” It reportedly only took her half an hour to write the lyrics, which are a reflection of a drug-induced hallucinogenic experience.

She later stated it was because she simply felt too old to live the lifestyle. Her first marriage to cinematographer and then bandmember Jerry Slick lasted from 1967 to 1961. Between her first and second marriage she had a relationship with her Jefferson Airplane bandmate Paul Kantner, and she had a daughter with him in 1971.  She then married lighting director Skip Johnson in 1967, and the two divorced in 1994. She has publicly discussed her history and past struggles with substance abuse. Her alcoholism led to issues on tour, particularly with Jefferson Starship. In 1980, she authorized a biography written about her entitled “Grace Slick: The Biography.”Real Estate: For several decades Grace lived in the town of Mill Valley, just north of San Francisco in Marin County. In September 1993 her longtime home burned to the ground. It would later be determined that the fire was sparked by county workers who were conducting a controlled burn that got out of control.
