In 1985 Tracey starred with Meryl Streep and Sting in PLENTY and then appeared in 6 episodes of the sitcom, "GIRLS ON TOP" with French and Saunders, playing the role of a thieving, lying bimbo named Candy. After an inspired cameo in "JUMPIN JACK FLASH", Tracey snagged a production deal with CBS television and actually filmed a pilot for a TV series. She considered the pilot "mush" and dropped the deal. Soon thereafter, she caught the eye of James L. Brooks of "Terms Of Endearment", "Rhoda" and "Taxi" fame who developed a deal with the brand spanking new FOX TV for Tracey to create her own variety show in 1987. "THE TRACEY ULLMAN SHOW" would eventually give viewers four inspired years of historic television comedy and garner Tracey 3 Emmys, (two for "Outstanding Performance and one for "Outstanding Writing") and a Golden Globe in 1988.
