Tracee Ellis Ross (born Tracee Joy Silberstein on October 29, 1972, in Los Angeles, California) is an American actress.

The daughter of noted singer Diana Ross and Robert Ellis Silberstein; she is best known for her role on the UPN/CW network series, Girlfriends.

Background

Tracee Ellis Ross is the second of Diana Ross' five children. Her siblings are:

* Rhonda Ross Kendrick (half sister—born 8/14/1971)
* Chudney Lane Silberstein (sister—born 11/4/1975)
* Ross Arne Naess (half brother—born 10/7/1987)
* Evan Olaf Næss (half brother—born 8/26/1988)

She attended the Swiss boarding school Institut Le Rosey, along with her sister Rhonda Ross Kendrick, and was enrolled in 1985.

Like older sister Rhonda, Ross is a Brown University alumna. She appeared in plays there, and graduated in 1994. From there, she went on to model, write, produce, and most notably, act.

Career

Modeling

Ross worked in the fashion industry, as a model and contributing fashion editor to Mirabella and New York.

As a model she worked with photographers Herb Ritts, Peter Lindberg, Francesco Scavullo, and Mario Testino. She has also been featured in national advertising campaigns, including those for Gap, The Donna Karan Collection, Paul Mitchell, and DKNY.

She was the cover girl in the Fall 2006 edition of "Vibe Vixen".

Acting

Ross made her big screen debut in 1996, playing a Jewish/African-American woman in the independent feature film Far Harbor. The following year, she debuted as host of The Dish, a Lifetime TV magazine series keeping tabs on popular culture. In 1998, she starred as a former high school track star who remained silent about having being abused at the hands of a coach, in the NBC made-for-TV movie: Race Against Fear: A Moment of Truth. Her next role was an independent feature film, Sue. In 2000, she landed her first major studio role in Diane Keaton's Hanging Up. The same year, she broke into comedy as a regular performer in the MTV series The Lyricist Lounge Show, a hip-hop variety series mixing music, dramatic sketches, and comedic skits.

Ross' biggest career achievement came when she landed the role of Joan Carol Clayton — a successful lawyer looking for love, challenges, and adventure, in the hit UPN series Girlfriends, which can now be seen on The CW network. The series centers on four young African-American women.

Recently, she was cast in two new movies; an HBO movie called "Life Support," and a Tyler Perry production, "Daddy's Little Girls."
