Early life

Tracey Ullman was born in Slough, Buckinghamshire (now Berkshire) to Antony Ullman, her Polish Roman Catholic, and Dorin Ullman, her English mother, who was also of Roma heritage. Antony had been a Polish soldier who was evacuated from Dunkirk in 1940. Ullman's father sold furniture, booked travel, and brokered marriages. He also translated amongst the Polish community in England. At the age of six, Ullman's father died of heart attack. He was fifty years old. In an effort to cheer the family up, Tracey recanted putting on shows in her mother's bedroom, performing along side her older sister, Patty. That first show was entitled, The Patty Ullman Show.

"I was a spin-off!" recalled Ullman. In her nightly performances Tracey was able to mimic anyone and everyone, including neighbors, family members, friends, even celebrities. Soon after, Ullman's mother remarried.

At age 12, one of Tracey's headmasters took notice of the young star's future potential, and recommended her to the Italia Conti Academy stage school. Although the school gave Ullman her first taste of the stage, she does not look back at the period as being a joyous one. Ullman's biggest drawback was her dark features. During auditions, they would line the children up, and select them for roles. Young Ullman, ethnically, did not fit the criteria (the criteria being blond-haired and blue-eyed). The Italia Conti Academy is Britains oldest theatre arts training school. ...

At age 16, Ullman began to find jobs as a dancer. One of her big breaks came when she landed a role in Gigi in Berlin^[1]. Upon returning to England, she joined the "Second Generation" dance troop^[2]. She also began to appear in variety shows. Gigi is a 1945 novel by the French sentimental romance writer Colette about a wealthy cultured man of fashion who discovers that he is in love with a young Parisian girl who is being groomed for a career as a grande cocotte, and eventually marries her. ...

The exposure led to her being cast in numerous West End theatre musicals, including Grease, and The Rocky Horror Show^[3]. During this time Ullman learned of a competition at London's Royal Court Theatre^[4] for an improvised play about club acts. Deciding to enter, Ullman created the character Beverly, a born-again Christian chanteuse. Ullman proved to be a big hit and won the title of Best Newcomer Award^[5]. At this point, the BBC became interested, and offered her her own show.

Music career

In 1983, Ullman succeeded as a singer on the legendary punk label Stiff Records^[6], although her style was more comic romantic than punk^[7]. She had six songs in the British Top 100 in less than two years, including her first hit Breakaway (famous for her performance with a hairbrush as a microphone); the international hit cover version of label-mate Kirsty MacColl's They Don't Know, which got to #2 in the U.K. (#8, U.S. - MacColl also sang backing vocals on Ullman's version), and which became the theme song to most of Ullman's later television series; and the cover of Madness's My Girl, which Ullman changed to "My Guy's Mad At Me." ^[8] (The "My Guy" video featured the British politician Neil Kinnock, at the time the Leader of the Opposition)^[9].)

Her songs were over-the-top evocations of 1960s and 1970s pop music with a 1980s edge, "somewhere between Minnie Mouse and The Supremes" as Britain's Melody Maker put it, or "retro before retro was cool", as a retrospective reviewer wrote in 2002. Her career received another boost when the video for They Don't Know featured a cameo from Paul McCartney^[10]; at the time Ullman was filming a minor role in McCartney's film Give My Regards To Broad Street^[11].

Television career

Early years

Along with her stint in the music world, Ullman also moved into television. She began starring in sketch comedies for the BBC, A Kick Up the Eighties, and Three of a Kind (with Lenny Henry and David Copperfield). In 1985, she donned a blonde wig and took the role of a promiscuous gold digger named "Candice Valentine" on the ITV sitcom Girls On Top, but jumped ship after one series.

At this point, US television beckoned, and television producer, legend, James L. Brooks, came calling. The two had discussed working together previously, but it wasn't until 1987 that the two formally got together and created The Tracey Ullman Show. Ullman played a variety of characters, completely disguised with the help of makeup, prosthetics, and even padding. The show was the first commercial hit for then unknown FOX channel. Ullman proved to be a triple threat - she could act, sing, and dance, as well as providing ethnic accents for some of her characters (Tracey is one of the few non-Australian actors that can deliver lines in a realistic Australian accent). Paula Abdul began her career with the series, serving as the show's choreographer. The then practically unknown Abdul even used her early music recordings for the series' strenuous dance numbers.

In 1992 Ullman filed a lawsuit against Twentieth Century Fox in Los Angeles Superior Court over profits from the later half hour incarnation of The Simpsons for $2.5 million of the estimated $50,000,000 USD in profits reaped from merchandising. Years after her show went off the air, she said jokingly in a late night television interview that she hoped to one day have a regular 2-minute spot on The Simpsons. Despite the lawsuit, Ullman would later provide the voice of "Emily Winthrop", a British dog trainer on The Simpsons in Bart's Dog Gets an F.

As Ullman had continued her professional relationship with former producer Brooks, only the studio and not Brooks was named in the suit. In fact, Brooks was allowed to videotape his testimony because in an only-in-Hollywood twist he was at that time directing Ullman in his later de-musicalized film I'll Do Anything. Ullman was unsuccessful and viewed by some as trying to greedily cash in on a project that she could not show in court that she had any hand in creating. However, supporters point out that she only sought a small portion of merchandising from the studio's slice that she felt her contract for the cancelled show entitled her to (a 12 page contract that was hastily signed only hours before filming on the first The Tracey Ullman Show was to commence). A settlement was reached where Ullman would receive a portion of the profits made from the show, although no amount was ever made public. In law and in religion, testimony is a solemn attestation as to the truth of a matter. ... Ill Do Anything is a 1994 film, starring Nick Nolte and Albert Brooks. ...

HBO

It wasn't until 1993 that Ullman dove back into television, but this time, cable television. Two specials were created allowing Ullman to bring life to a host of new characters. The first, Tracey Ullman: A Class Act, took a humorous jab at the British class system, and co-starred Monty Python alum Michael Palin.^[14] For the second, Tracey Ullman Takes On New York, Ullman decided to take on a more American topic, New York City.^[15] Both specials drew critical praise, and even awards.
