The ethnicity of Grace Ho's parents is somewhat uncertain. The most popular assertion is that Grace Ho's father was German and her mother was Chinese, as attested by biographers Robert Clouse, Bruce Thomas, and Ho's daughter-in-law Linda Lee Cadwell. Charles Russo has questioned this origin story entirely, suggesting that Grace Ho's father might have been Chinese or mixed-Chinese, and that her mother was English. Matthew Polly concedes that Grace Ho's paternal grandfather was a Dutch Jew, but likewise asserts that her mother was English. However, according to Doug Palmer, the claim that Grace Ho had an English mother is only speculation. Palmer also notes that family records suggest that the Dutch-Jewish Bosman family had originated from Germany, which may explain why it was assumed that Grace had German origins.

Grace spent part of her childhood in Hong Kong, living at the Ho Tung Gardens in the Peak under the care of Clara Ho Tung, her aunt. and meteorology, becoming assistant director of the Hong Kong Observatory. Bruce Lee would become famous in Hollywood and Hong Kong for his films and skill in martial arts, and Robert Lee would become a popular Hong Kong and Macau musician founding the band called the Thunderbirds.

Depictions in media Unlike most of her children, Grace was hardly ever seen in the media or on television. Her only appearance on television was with her son Robert in an interview on Good Night America with Geraldo Rivera, shortly after Bruce's death.
