Widow-ism is not looking good for Tracey Ullman McKeown

It's Kaaaaaay.

I wasn't aware she was supposed to look fuckable to anyone ever, OP.

I believe it's called WIDOWHOOD.

r2 mustn't have been around in the 80s and 90s. Tracey was very hot.

[quote]I believe it's called WIDOWHOOD.

Only in the projects.

I was hoping she had shrunk dramatically.

How is a 55 y.o. woman sans makeup supposed to look?

54, thank you very much, r7.

Isn't the term today KA-CHING Widderwomanship?

And considering she's made an entire career out of the fact that she looks like she has Down syndrome, she doesn't look all that bad.

So tasteful, the black sleeveless "athletic" shirt. How far is she from second-stage mourning, with pearl-grey basketball shorts?

When she starts training for a 10K.

No, she doesn't. Are you crazy?

That's her now late husband next to her. She's the richest British comedian in history. She's also getting Simpsons movie too. She was a total bitch about that. She took them to court and they settled.

"I haven't got looks to lose!"

- Tracey Ullman 1998

She looks like she hitting Elizabeth Berkley for some change.

"She's also getting Simpsons MONEY too."

Oops.

She's obsessed with "Showgirls", so. She made fun of that film repeatedly in her HBO show, having her 70 year old, alcoholic, Hollywood makeup artist being the makeup artist on that film. She said that Elizabeth had the biggest square ass she'd ever seen, that she used ice cubes on her nipples, and that she got good use out of her "beaver brush".

Maybe she's going to continue her husbands thing - making musicals. I'd love to see "Showgirls" on Broadway!

She looks like a 54 year old Tracey Ullman to me.

She and Christine Baranski both lost their husbands and both are in "Into the Woods." Should make for an interesting press tour.

Now if Meryl would just lose her husband, they'd be the Three Musketeers. Tracey would definitely have an affair with Meryl. She'd love to eat her out. They're inseparable. Although, Meryl did cheat on her hubbie already.

That is Tracey under there.

I first became aware of Tracy when I saw her at Montreaux singing My Guy is mad at me. I bought the record, thought she was cute. She introduced the Simpsons, of course she owns a piece and why not.

She was never pretty and she was always funny. Now she's old and she looks like hell, what difference does it make?

How could she "own a piece" of The Simpsons? They were on her fucking show in very crude form in little snippets and that's ALL she had to do with them. She didn't create them. I guess she thought she "introduced" them or something and deserved money for that. Well, not really. She's just a greedy cunt.

Smug, condescending America-hating shrew (ask anyone who worked with her) who won't leave the country that tolerates her contempt. Both Frye ang Laurie hate her, as does Rowan Atkinson...who called the C word.

Considering that Fry, Laurie and Atkinson are cheating, rapey drunks, that just makes me like her more.

She hates Britain more.

r21, she's American.

Tracey is one of the funniest women on the planet. She's definitely the best character actress of all time. Her last show on Showtime had some good moments, but it was really dark and depressing.

Her speech at about what she loves about being American and what she hates about Britain. Great speech!

R22 Rowan Atkinson is a cheating, drunken rapist???

[quote]Smug, condescending America-hating shrew

She hates America so much she became a citizen!

Her Rachel Maddow, Barney Frank, Megan McCain, and Christiane Amanpour altogether in a makeup room was a scream. Rachel had her on her show because of it. Megan loved it. Arianna is such a fan of hers, she lets Tracey accept awards on her behalf doing the accent.

Here she is doing an impersonation of Maggie Smith.

Gay sketch - sexual deprogramming center.

I don't think she "looks like hell" for 55 at all. It's a candid shot, and she looks relatively fit and just fine to me. She's a witty, clever woman and I hope she'll have fun with Into the Woods; after losing the man she was with since she was 25 years old, she deserves a breather and the bit of a lark, at the very least.

R19 She wasn't just "not pretty", the average woman in the street is not "pretty", she is plain ugly.

She looks like Joan Plowright, who played her mother in "I Love You To Death". Her Polish side is strong.

Soul cycle - good for her.

Can we discuss why the hell she's talking to Nomi Malone?

R28 is a sensitive little snowflake.

She has talent. She doesn't need "looks".

Female comedians are, by and large, pretty unattractive. It's no big deal that she looks so bad in that photo. It's not like she was a beauty and her looks are fading, what a shame. She's never been good-looking, so the fact that she's not good-looking in her fifties doesn't really mean a thing.

Go home then!

She's calling her a whore, darlin'.

I also loved her as Francesca, the teenage girl with the two gay dads...

"This is my dad, and this is... my William."

Weren't these the first two gay dads featured on television?

She doesn't own a piece of the Simpsons. She lost her lawsuit.

r43, she settled out of court. She does get a piece of it, a check every year. I still have the article somewhere, and she talked about it recently.

BTW, she was suing James L. Brooks's project, but he sided with her, and gave a videotaped deposition, and cast her in his film at the time.

I love you, R38.

I loved her short-lived singing career. "You Broke My Heart in 17 Places" was a fun album and had a great cover. The videos were fun too.

I could only find this

Ullman filed a lawsuit in 1992, claiming that her show was the source of The Simpsons success, and therefore, should receive a share of the show's profit. "I breast-fed those little devils," Tracey Ullman once said of The Simpsons. She wanted a share of The Simpsons merchandising and gross profits and believed she was entitled to $2.5 million of Fox's estimated $50 million in 1992. The Fox network had paid her $58,000 in royalties for The Simpsons as well as $3 million for the 3½ seasons her show was on the air. Eventually the courts ruled in favor of the network.

R44, she does NOT. Everything online clearly indicates she lost that case.

Her best role was Sylvia in "A Dirty Shame."

Ruby Romaine to dog that's attacked her and raped her:

"You may be hairy and on four legs, but I've had worst, let me tell ya. I'm not mentioning any names, but his initials were Cornel Wilde."

I don't see how she could legally own a "piece" of the Simpsons since she in no way created them. They were simply a segment, a very brief segment on her show. And when The Simpsons was made into a series they bore little resemblance to the Simpsons that appeared on Ullman's show.

"The Simpson's 138th Episode Spectacular" was hosted by Troy McClure ("Hi, I'm Troy McClure. You may remember me from such Fox Network specials as "Alien Nose Job" and "Five Fabulous Weeks of the Chevy Chase Show."). He presents a clip of the Simpsons in their very crudely animated form on The Tracey Ullman Show. When the camera cuts back to McClure he has a look of utter shock on his face. But he recovers quickly: "Ha ha ha! They haven't changed a bit!"

Tracey believed that had it not been for her, there wouldn't have been a show for the Simpsons to be on. She also co-produced the show with her own production company, Mabelino.

She was originally suppose to supply one of the voices. After the lawsuit, a year later she played two roles on The Simpsons, so I guess there weren't really any hard feelings.

Not one of THOSE kind of Indians.

No Tracey = No Simpsons

She's a treasure.

[quote] [R21], she's American

She has dual citizenship.

R52 She doesn't own any piece of the Simpsons. She tried to get some of that Simpsons money after it became popular but lost every lawsuit she filed.

Is Amy Sedatis the poor man’s Tracey Ullman?

She absolutely should have gotten money from The Simpson's. Her contract with Fox/Gracie Films specified that she would get a piece of any spin-off from The Tracey Ullman Show. She got screwed over by the producers and the judge who ruled against her.

I know that for the first short, she was supposed to voice Bart, but for whatever reason couldn't make it. Luckiest day of Nancy Cartwrights life.
