Currently the richest British actress and female comedian, Tracey Ullman is a woman of many faces, being no stranger to impersonating anyone as she delivers outstanding performances every time.

Ullman started on British television in the 80s, playing Lisa Mackenzie in the TV series, Mackenzie. Holding dual British and American citizenships, Ullman began her television career in the United States in 1987 when she created the comedy series, The Tracey Ullman Show, for Fox network. The show even featured ‘The Simpsons’ and ran for four seasons, ending in 1990. With the success of the show, it won a total of 11 Emmy Awards.
In addition, Ullman produced an HBO comedy series, Tracey Takes On…, and continued her success by being featured on the big screen several times.
