Tracee Ellis Ross

The daughter of Diana Ross, Tracee Ellis Ross was born on October 29, 1972, in Los Angeles, Calif. She graduated from Brown University and worked in the fashion industry before becoming an actress. Her debut came in 1996 in an independent film called 'Far Harbor.' She has the main role of Joan Clayton on the series 'Girlfriends.' With her memorably statuesque figure and alluring countenance, African-American model-turned-actress Tracee Ellis Ross (the daughter of chanteuse Diana Ross and Robert Ellis Silberstein) plunged headfirst into print and fashion work with such enthusiasm and vigor that she became a frequent presence on the covers of such magazines as Essence, Jet, and Vibe Vixen, posing for such legends as Herb Ritts and Francesco Scavullo. Within this arena, Ross commandeered attention to rival any of her runway contemporaries. Ross segued into acting in the mid- to late '90s, with contributions such efforts as the low-key, ensemble-oriented psychological drama Far Harbor (1996, her cinematic debut) and Jim Yukich's romantic comedy A Fare to Remember (1999), and hosted the Lifetime talk program The Dish, before making her biggest splash as thirtysomething attorney-turned-restaurant proprietor Joan Clayton on the blockbuster UPN sitcom Girlfriends -- which enjoyed a lengthy run, maintained exemplary ratings, and netted more than a few industry awards for Ross. In 2007, the actress teamed up with writer/director Tyler Perry and actress Gabrielle Union for the big-screen romantic comedy Tyler Perry's Daddy's Little Girls.Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross TraceeEllisRoss TraceeEllisRoss TraceeEllisRoss TraceeEllisRoss TraceeEllisRoss TraceeEllisRoss TraceeEllisRoss TraceeEllisRoss TraceeEllisRoss TraceeEllisRoss TraceeEllisRoss TraceeEllisRoss TraceeEllisRoss TraceeEllisRoss TraceeEllisRoss TraceeEllisRoss TraceeEllisRoss TraceeEllisRoss TraceeEllisRoss TraceeEllisRoss Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Exclusive: Tracee Ellis Ross Steps Out Without Makeup Diana Ross Daughter Tracee Ellis Ross Interview 43rd NAACP IMAGE AWARDS Press conference Tracee Ellis Ross Interview 43rd NAACP IMAGE AWARDS Press conference Craig Robinson from The Office & Tracee Ellis Ross Announce Nominees NAACP IMAGE AWARDS Craig Robinson and Tracee Ellis Ross Announces 43rd NAACP Image Awards Nominees Clayola Brown Introduces Tracee Ellis Ross and Craig Robinson at The 43rd NAACP Image Awards Nominat Vanessa Williams, Tracee Ellis Ross, Craig Robinson and Corey Reynolds at 43rd NAACP Image Awards No Craig Robinson, Tracee Ellis Ross announcing nominees for the 43rd annual NAACP Image Awards Vanessa Williams and Tracee Ellis Ross so lovely at 2012 NAACP Image Awards nominations Tracee Ellis Ross arrives at the 43rd annual NAACP Image Awards nomination announcement Vanessa Williams, Tracee Ellis Ross, Craig Robinson at 2012 NAACP Image Awards nomination Tracee Ellis Ross September Cover Tracee Ellis Ross "The Art Of Elysium" 2012 HEAVEN GALA Diana and Tracee Ellis Ross running Mugler's catwalk Tracee Ellis Ross at The Art Of Elysium 5th Annual Heaven Gala ARRIVALS #4 Home Grown Goddesses: Twist Set Inspired By Tracee Ellis Ross Hair Tutorial: Flexi Rods, Tracee Ellis Ross hair Tracee Ellis Ross/Booty,Legs & Heels Tracee Ellis Ross stops by The Wendy Williams Show Naturalhair:Tracee Ellis Ross "inspired" waves EVE and Tracee Ellis Ross Drawing tracee ellis ross on fashion - hiphollywood.com Tracee Ellis Ross Tracee Ellis Ross Blushes at Barney's 3 Little Digs chops it up with Tracee Ellis Ross!
