She burst onto the American television scene in the late 1980s, when she hosted her own show on the fledgling Fox network.
And Tracey Ullman has been a favorite in this country ever since.
Her Fox show ended in 1990, and she next appeared on American television in 1996, on the HBO series Tracey Takes On.
I met her in early 1998, when she published a book that was companion to the HBO series.
