Tracy Wright

1959 - 2010

We are saddened to hear about the loss of truly remarkable actress. Tracy Wright died June 22 of pancreatic cancer in Toronto.

In 2005, IFFBoston was proud to be able to showcase Tracy’s work in two films—a small but memorable part in partner Don McKellar’s CHILDSTAR, and a complex, understated and heartbreaking role in Miranda July’s ME AND YOU AND EVERYONE WE KNOW.

In 2007, we were thrilled and honored to have the opportunity to host Tracy and her co-stars Don McKellar and Nadia Litz in Boston when we screened Reg Harkima’s MONKEY WARFARE. Tracy’s talent and dedication to her craft always impressed us, but we were amazed by her warmth, graciousness and wit.

Her ability to deliver authentic and thoughtful performances exalted even her smallest roles to center stage. She will be missed. We extend our thoughts and deepest sympathies to all of her family, friends, and fans.
