Tracey Ross

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tracey Ross (born Linda Ross February 27, 1959 in Brooklyn, New York, USA) is an actress best known for roles on the soap operas Ryan's Hope (1985-1987) and Passions (1999-2007). She was a winner in the Spokesmodel category in the television series Star Search.

Ross was nominated for an NAACP Image Award every year from 2000 to 2007 for Outstanding Actress in a Daytime Drama Series, for her performance as Dr. Eve Russell on Passions. Ross won the award on March 2, 2007, ironically the year that Passions ended its run on NBC.

Ross has also had a number of television series guest appearances, on shows such as The Cosby Show, Roc, Baywatch Nights, and Providence. Ross also appeared on the popular dating show Blind Date. Much like many dates on the show however, Ross' dating experience was unsuccessful as she did not appear to show interest in her date (unlike her date who was very interested in her).

On several occasions, Ross has stated that she identifies most with Ayn Rand's Objectivism, and that Atlas Shrugged is her favorite book.

She is not related to either Tracee Ellis Ross or fellow soap actress Rhonda Ross Kendrick, who both have Diana Ross as their mother.
