Tracey Ullman performances

In 1981, the BBC cast her in two ensemble comedy sketch shows; A Kick Up the Eighties, and Three of a Kind (which also featured Lenny Henry and David Copperfield).

She came to the attention of producer James L. Brooks after her critically acclaimed BAFTA nominated performance in the film drama, Plenty (1985).

She would go on to star and appear in such films as Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993),[2] Nancy Savoca's Household Saints (1993),[3] Bullets Over Broadway (1994),[4] and Small Time Crooks (2000).

This led to the creation of Tracey Takes On... and a long career producing and starring in programmes created for American cable television.
