In the 2000 romantic comedy Miss Congeniality, what FBI rank does Gracie Hart hold?

In the 2000 romantic comedy Miss Congeniality, Gracie Hart is an FBI special agent. Sandra Bullock plays Gracie, who goes undercover as a contestant in the Miss United States pageant after learning that the event may be targeted.

The film contrasts Gracie’s serious investigative work with the etiquette, styling, and public performance expected in a beauty pageant. Her transformation is guided by pageant director Victor Melling, played by Michael Caine.

Some descriptions call Gracie simply an FBI agent, which is accurate but less specific. The film identifies her as a special agent. Miss Congeniality was directed by Donald Petrie and became one of Bullock’s best-known comedy roles.
