Tracey Gold – 50 Years Old

Tracey Gold, born on May 16, 1969, in New York City, USA, is an American actress and former child actress. Tracey Gold had a difficult childhood especially since she became an actress at only four Years Old. The former child actress deserves credit for her performance in the sitcom Growing Pains as the studious Carol Seaver, but her life away from the lights and camera was nothing close to the glitz and glam of the typical Hollywood celebrity lifestyle.

She was on the receiving end of heavy media scrutiny and several fat-shaming gags on the show, pushing her to suffer from anorexia. Eventually, Gold had to skip a few episodes to get treated. After several years of struggle, Gold finally recovered and starred in the TV movie For the Nancy (1994) alongside Jill Clayburgh. The film explored a young woman’s struggle with anorexia and its impact on her family.
