Tracey "Trace" Ullman (born December 30, 1959) is an English actress, comedienne, and dancer, best known for being the host of her eponymous variety television show from 1987 until 1990]]. The Tracey Ullman Show was the series that the Simpsons shorts appeared on before spinning off into The Simpsons. She voiced Sylvia Winfield and Emily Winthrop in the season 2 episode "Bart's Dog Gets an F".
Lawsuit
Tracey 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 3 1/2 seasons her show was on the air. Eventually the courts ruled in favor of the network.
