Biography

Tracy Nelson, the talented actress, made her film debut at a remarkably young age of five, starring alongside Henry Fonda in the movie "Yours, Mine and Ours" (1968). Born to singer Ricky Nelson and Kristin Harmon, Tracy's early beginnings in the entertainment industry were undoubtedly influenced by her family's musical and acting background.

As she grew older, Tracy's acting career continued to flourish, and in 1982, she landed the iconic role of "Jennifer DeNuccio" on the popular television series "Square Pegs" (1982-83). Her portrayal of the Valley Girl earned her widespread recognition in Hollywood, and she went on to make a few small appearances in movies while pursuing more television roles.

In 1984, Tracy returned to television with a starring role in the series "Glitter," and two years later, she appeared alongside Nick Nolte and Bette Midler in the film "Down and Out in Beverly Hills" (1986). However, in 1987, Tracy's life took a dramatic turn when she was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease just one month after her marriage to William R. Moses. Miraculously, she was cured of the disease and went on to make a triumphant return to television in 1989, starring as "Sister Stephanie 'Steve' Oskowski" in "Father Dowling Mysteries" (1989).

Since then, Tracy has appeared in a handful of television movies, including the TV series "A League of Their Own" (1993),and had a recurring role on the popular drama "Melrose Place" (1992). Throughout her career, Tracy has demonstrated her versatility and range as an actress, and her early start in the industry has undoubtedly paved the way for her continued success in the entertainment world.
