Tracey Gold
Clearly one of the most sought after keynote speakers in the country today on eating disorders, Tracey Gold, who spent seven years playing Carol Seaver on the sitcom “GROWING PAINS,” battled with anorexia as a teenager, and had her story pounced upon by tabloid magazines all over the world. Twelve years later, Tracey is a mother, accomplished actress, and an eating disorder survivor. As the author of ROOM TO GROW and public speaker, she exudes enthusiasm and inspiration speaking to a wide variety of universities, groups, and organizations about her life, gaining self esteem, and overcoming anorexia nervosa. As a mother, she is raising three young boys. As an actress starring in numerous movies made-for-television, she is currently hosting TV Guide Channel’s “TRAPPED IN TV GUIDE” and was a recent co-host on “THE VIEW.” But, more important, as an eating disorder survivor she has been touched with a special insight into life and the human condition and is a constant reminder that with fortitude and determination, anything is possible. Because Tracey’s personal story touches so many people, Tracey is a welcomed guest on numerous talk shows including five appearances on “OPRAH.” Oprah thinks so much of the importance of Tracey’s message that she included Tracey in her “VIEWERS’ FAVORITE OPRAH SHOW MOMENTS” and two of Tracey’s appearances in her commemorative DVD set, “20th Anniversary Collection.”
Tracey Gold has virtually grown up on television. She made an auspicious television debut in the award winning mini-series “ROOTS.” She also enjoyed seven years on the immensely popular ABC comedy series “GROWING PAINS,” after which she returned to drama with several movies of the week. The most recent include two features for Lifetime “SAFE HARBOR” and “CAPTIVE HEARTS.”
Born in New York City and raised in Southern California, Tracey is the oldest daughter of a thriving show business family. Her father, Harry Gold, is a partner in a successful talent agency in Hollywood. Her mother, Bonnie, is a former New York advertising executive, who had her own radio show in Montana. Following Tracey’s lead, three of her younger sisters have also pursued acting. Melissa starred on the long running ABC series “BENSON,” Brandy starred on ABC’s “BABY MAKES FIVE” and Jessie has just starred alongside Tracey in “SHATTERED TRUST.”
Tracey’s career as an actress started at the age of five when she began working in commercials. Her first starring role on television was that of “Missy Ann” (Sandy Duncan’s character as a girl) in the ABC mini-series “ROOTS.” Since then, Tracey has accumulated an impressive number of television movie credits. She has had starring roles in “SHATTERED TRUST” featuring her younger sister Jessie Gold and Powers Booth and “STOLEN FROM THE HEART” with Barbara Mandrell. The “GROWING PAINS” reunion movie was the highest rated movies of the week for ABC in 2000. Other credits include: “CAPTAINS AND KINGS,” “NIGHT CRIES,” “LITTLE MOE,” “JENNIFER: A WOMAN’S STORY,” “THE SECRETS OF HARVEST MOON” with Bette Davis, “THE CHILD STEALER” opposite Beau Bridges, Walt Disney’s “ESCAPE FROM WITCH MOUNTAIN,” “A FEW DAYS AT WEASEL CREEK,” “MARILYN: THE UNTOLD STORY,” LABOR OF LOVE” with Anne Jillian, “THURSDAYS CHILD” opposite Rob Lowe, “WHO WILL LOVE MY CHILDREN” opposite Ann-Margaret, “ANOTHER WOMAN’S CHILD,” “LOT’S OF LUCK,” and “A REASON TO LIVE.” She portrayed the title character in the ABC television movie “FOR THE LOVE OF NANCY.” Recent movie of the week credits include “SLEEP BABY SLEEP,” “THE LADY KILLER” with Judith Light, “MIDWEST OBSESSION” with Courtney Thorne-Smith and “STOLEN INNOCENCE.”
Tracey has also starred in many television specials, such as the CBS Emmy Award winning “KELLY VS. KELLY” which was directed by Tom Skerrit, “I THINK I’M HAVING A BABY,” “IF WISHES WERE HORSES,” “THE HAND ME DOWN KID” and “SENIOR PROM.” Not limiting herself only to television, Tracey has also ventured into feature films and theatre. She co-starred in several feature films such as “SHOOT THE MOON” opposite Albert Finney and Diane Keaton, “BEST OF TIMES” and “WANTED,” also the just completed “TAILSPIN.” She also starred in Neil Simon’s “I OUGHT TO BE IN PICTURES” at the Tiffany Attic Theatre in Kansas City, Missouri.
Currently Tracey and husband Roby Marshall reside in the San Fernando Valley, California where they raise their three sons, Sage, Bailey, and Aiden. Tracey and Roby were introduced by her former television mom, Joanna Kerns.
