	Actors - Tracey E. Bregman

Tracey E. Bregman (born May 29, 1963) is an American soap opera actress. She was born in Munich, Germany to well-known Jewish American producer Buddy Bregman and actress Susan Lloyd. She lived in Britian until the age of 10 when her family relocated to California. She has been acting since she was 11 years old. At one time, she was credited as Tracey E. Bregman-Recht.

She is best known for the role of Lauren Fenmore that she portrayed on both The Young and the Restless (from 1983 to 1995 as a contract player and from 2000 to the present on a recurring basis) and The Bold and the Beautiful (1995-1998).

Despite her recurring status as Lauren Fenmore on The Young and the Restless, she continues to be featured prominately in storylines, namely in the 2005-06 storyline involving the return of her character's archnemesis, Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown). Lauren has been married to lawyer Micheal Baldwin, portrayed by Christian LeBlanc, since December 9th, 2005. Her previous marriages and relationships include detective Paul Williams, rock star Danny Romalatti, Dr. Scott Grainger, Brad Carlton, Ridge Forrester, and Eric Forrester. Lauren has one son, Scotty Grainger Jr., with Dr. Scott Grainger who is now deceased. Although Scotty was born on screen in 1992, when he reappeared in Genoa City in 2006, he was aged to be 24 years of age - a grad student currently working on his masters in Education. The aging of Scotty appeared to be quite unrealistic as the character of Lauren is only about 40 or so, which is why he left the canvas of Genoa City shortly after his return.Lauren Fenmore's parents are Joanna Manning and Neil Fenmore, portrayed by Susan Seaforth Hayes, most notably known for her role as Julie on Days of Our Lives, and Jim Storm. She is the CEO of her late father's department store, "Fenmores" which is largely how she acquired her wealth.

In light of her character's newfound romance with Christian LeBlanc's "Micheal", Tracey's popularity has increased immensely due to the couple's popularity.

Prior to The Young and the Restless, Tracey also appeared on the soap opera Days of Our Lives between the years of 1978 - 1980, portraying troubled teen Donna Temple Craig. Her stepmother was Dr.Marlena Evans, played by American soap opera actress Deidre Hall and her father, Don Craig, was portrayed by actor Jed Allan.

Part of the reason that Tracey remains on recurring status for Young and the Restless is so she can embark on other projects. One of which includes a reality television show she hosts "Tales of the Soulful Earth." She explains, "It's a show that takes women who are at crossroads in their life on these life-altering spiritual journeys - to the Himalayas, the Outback, to the Antartic - with therapists that talk them through it. They are taken out of their own lives to see past where they are stuck. There is going to be a celebrity version, too." Bregman was excited upon first hearing about the project. "You've got your Dr.Phil's, and all of that. But we can all relate to be being stuck, and not being able to get past a certain situation."

Her other television credits include the after-school special The Girl with E.S.P., and the telefilms Three on a Date and Sex and Mrs. X. She was a series regular on Second Family Tree with Ann Archer and James Spader, and guest-starred in the series The Fall Guy, Gavilan, Fame and The Love Boat, as well as the Canadian series The Littlest Hobo.

The "E" in Tracey's name, which stands for Elizabeth, was not there orignally. Rather, she added it on the advice of a numerologist. "It's true!" she has been quoted saying to Soap Opera Digest. "A month after I added it, I got Y&R - and I've been afraid to take it out ever since!"

In 2004, Tracey launched her own yoga inspired clothing line "Bountiful Buddha" which sold popularly at friend Lisa Rinna's boutique "Belle Gray" in Los Angeles.

As implyed by her clothing line, Tracey regularly does Yoga. Her favorite novel is "The Red Tent" by Anita Diament. Some of her favorite films are Terms of Endearment, When Harry met Sally, Broadcast News - she has been quoted as saying that she "likes to laugh and cry in the same movie!" Televison shows she has said to enjoy are The Actors Studio on Bravo!, Gilmore Girls and Sex and the City. Lastly, she is a big fan of the George Foreman grill and has said that she "makes all of friends buy them!"
