Encyclopedic overview
Tracey Ullman (born Trace Ullman; 30 December 1959) is a British and American actress, comedian, singer, dancer, screenwriter, producer, director, and author. Critics have lauded her ability to shift seamlessly between characters and accents, with many dubbing her the "female Peter Sellers".
Ullman began her career as a dramatic actress on stage, as well as in the British soap opera Mackenzie, playing Lisa Mackenzie. After an award-winning performance in the improvised play Four in a Million at the Royal Court Theatre, she branched out into comedy. She starred in the British television sketch comedies A Kick Up the Eighties (with Rik Mayall and Miriam Margolyes) and Three of a Kind (with Lenny Henry and David Copperfield), the latter winning her a BAFTA in 1984. After a brief singing career that garnered three top-ten singles, she appeared as Candice Valentine in the ITV sitcom Girls on Top alongside Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, and Ruby Wax.
