Tracy Lee Griffith[1] (born October 19, 1965)[2][3] is an American actress, sushi chef and painter.
Griffith attended a boarding school in Maryland, graduating in 1979, and went on to spend three years at the University of Tennessee where she became interested in acting and dropped out in 1984.
[3] Tracy Griffith played supporting roles in some films in which her half-sister Melanie starred, such as Fear City (1985) and Crazy in Alabama (1999).
Her acting credits include The Guiding Light, The Good Mother (1988); Fast Food (1989); The First Power (1990); The Finest Hour (1991); All Tied Up (1993); 21 Jump Street; and the miniseries Ruby Ridge: An American Tragedy.
This led to a publishing deal for her cookbook Sushi American Style, which was published by Clarkson Potter in August 2004 and released a second book in 2013 titled "Stealth Health: Lunches Kids Love", which features recipes that children can make themselves.
