Traci Bingham was the youngest of seven children, born on January 13, 1968 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. A smart and active child, she pursued athletics in order to try and keep up with her older brothers. She ended up excelling in sports, running track and cross country as well as competing on her school swim team. Traci Bingham's athletic endeavors helped mold what was to become one of the most mesmerizing natural figures in entertainment. After high school, Traci Bingham followed in the footsteps of her Ivy League siblings and attended Harvard University. While going to classes there, Traci kept busy by appearing in lots of local stage productions, including 'Grease,' 'West Side Story' and 'Annie.' One night she was spotted on stage by director John Landis, who instantly cast her in a small part in his basketball comedy 'Celtic Pride.' Traci Bingham's success in that film caused her to put her academic career on hold. She left Harvard and moved to Los Angeles, her sights set on the big time. In no time at all, her fantastic good looks and real acting skills started getting her parts. She spent the middle part of the 90s playing small roles in lots of TV shows, including 'Fresh Prince of Bel Air,' 'Married With Children' and 'The Cosby Show.' Traci also landed roles in some big-screen productions like 'The Nutty Professor' and 'The Firm' and in a few national ad campaigns.
