Interview with Tracey Birdsall, American TV and movie actress, writer and producer
run by Max Davine, Australian writer
Young & The Restless fave Tracey Birdsall coming down under in late January to promote her new movies. Tracey kindly agreed to do an interview for our press release. Tracey, who started in soaps, is now producing her own films, including At the Edge of Time and Rogue Warrior: Robot Fighter. She leads the cast of both of those. Later this year she plays (Jenna Jameson) in the comedy Who’s Jenna? Tracey and her films have been covered by such leading outlets as Deadline and SciFi magazine.
Max Davine has kindly interviewed Tracey today.
There’s something to be said of any actor who takes on the craft as a career, it’s a decision that commands the highest respect in itself, but in Tracey Birdsall we have not only an actor who took up the fight, but one who managed to take her work all the way to the global stage, by way of soap operas no-less. Much maligned they may be, but the American Soap Opera is also a stable part of many an international household’s television viewing time, and I have caught my fellow Australians having intense discussion about what fictional characters are up to. It is truly an art unto itself, albeit one which tends to claim its performers for all their lives and careers. But Tracey is a fighter, her endeavors declare her more than anyone has to, not only surviving the Soap Opera, but carving for herself and her loyal collaborators a place within the Hollywood production circuit which has defied the unfair balance of gender and age in a world where anyone can be forgotten anytime. She endures, and it isn’t hard to see why.
We salute you, Tracey, and were lucky enough to share a few words:

MD: Hi Tracey, how are you feeling?
TB: -I’m great, thank you.
MD: Enjoying Australia?

TB: -I am, I just touched down in Brisbane, actually, and next week I’m coming to Melbourne.
MD: You’ve had quite a diverse career, can you share any highlights?
TB: Yeah sure, well some of the highlights. I’ve done a lot of soap, starting with all My Children, and I went on to The Young And The Restless, I actually hosted a show, a syndicated program called Actor’s Entertainment. But I would say the most fun I have is working in film, you just get so much more time to develop the characters, and bring out your best.
MD: So you’re actually in Australia promoting two movies, tell us about them?
TB: Well, I’ve got Rogue Warrior: Robot Fighter, which is a science fiction, as well as At The Edge Of Time which is another science fiction. But I’m also working on a comedy called Who’s Jenna. So I’ve got sci-fi and comedy!

MD :Who is Jenna?
TB: Well, it’s about this woman who gets mistaken for Jenna Jamieson, so it’s kind of a comedy in the vein of Ted, it should be fun!
MD: Great! Thank you so much for your time.
TB: Thank you!
