There's also Blondie's "(I'm Always Touched By Your) Presence Dear". The album consisted of covers, mostly of 50's and 60's hit songs such as "Move Over Darling" (Doris Day). You Broke My Heart in 17 Places is Tracey Ullman's debut album, released on June 1, 1983. Ullman's most recent sketch comedy series, Tracey Ullman's State of the Union, ran from 2008-2010 on Showtime. She has also appeared in several feature films.
She later produced programs for HBO, including Tracey Takes On., for which she has won numerous awards. She emigrated from the UK to the US and created her own network television series, The Tracey Ullman Show, from 1987 until 1990, from which The Simpsons was spun off in 1989. In 1983, Ullman took part in the workshops for Andrew Lloyd-Webber's upcoming musical, Starlight Express, playing the part of Pearl. The BBC became interested and offered her the chance to star in her own show. The performance was a big hit and she won the "Best Newcomer Award". Entering the competition, Ullman created the character Beverly, a born-again Christian chanteuse. During this time Ullman was cast in a play at London's Royal Court Theatre for an improvised play about club acts. The exposure led to her casting in numerous West End musicals, including Grease, and The Rocky Horror Show. She also began appearing in variety shows. Upon returning to England, she joined the "Second Generation" dance troupe. At the age of 16, Ullman began finding jobs as a dancer, and soon landed a role in Gigi in Berlin. Although the school gave Ullman her first taste of the stage, she does not look back on it fondly. At the age of 12, a headmaster saw Ullman's future potential, and recommended her to the Italia Conti Academy stage school. She is a stage and television actress, comedienne, singer, dancer, screenwriter and author. Trace Ullman was born on Decemin Slough, England.
