Tracey Conway Emmy Award-winning actress Tracey Conway literally dropped dead in the middle of filming her television sketch-comedy show. Paramedics got her heart beating again. Her miraculous recovery combined with a comedienne’s point of view creates a poignant yet laugh-out-loud message of inspiration for women to take control of their health. Uniquely poised to address heart disease; our nation’s number one health threat, Tracey’s presentations inspire both belly laughs and tears, as she relates the circumstances and details of her deadly cardiac event and subsequent recovery at age 38. Fans frequently greet Tracey shouting, “Hey! You’re the ‘Worst Girlfriend in the World!’” She earned that nickname playing a notorious femme fatale character on her half-hour comedy, “Almost Live!” Now, however, she’s more likely to hear she’s the “Drop Dead Gorgeous” woman, as she candidly tells the story of the night she died on stage, from a fatal heart arrhythmia. Question #24 on the Seattle Fire Department's Medical Incident Report, filed by responding EMT's, asks "Patient Condition On Arrival?" and provides only two Reponses: 1.) Alive and 2.) Dead. On Tracey's form there is a big circle around option number two. It's official. She is one of the less than seven percent of Sudden Cardiac Arrest victims to be successfully resuscitated out of hospital with full brain function. Further, Tracey is a young, non-smoking, active female. Not at all the typical image of someone who would drop dead from heart problems. An Emmy award-winning actress and featured guest on “Oprah,” Tracey appeared on the TV sketch comedy “Almost Live!” for ten years, which aired throughout the Pacific Northwest and on cable network Comedy Central. The popular show earned over a hundred regional Emmys and ten prestigious Iris awards, the highest honor bestowed to local programming. Tracey’s performing credits include live theatre as well as appearing on HBO and film. She earned BFA and MFA degrees with honors in Theatre, from the University of New Mexico and the University of Southern California. An internationally acclaimed speaker with engagements from Boise to Budapest, Tracey is also an author whose most recent work is the lead story in “Chicken Soup for the Soul, Healthy Living: HEART DISEASE.” Sought after for her effervescent yet educated presence, she was selected to serve as a panelist on Second Opinion, the national PBS series that shows how doctors navigate their way through tough medical decisions in a way you’ve never seen before. Tracey is active in community programs in her home city of Seattle that support heart disease research and education, emergency medical services, and pet-partner therapy animals. She serves on the board of Seattle’s Hope Heart Institute and is a professional member of the National Speakers Association. Tracey shares her home with the “most beautiful dog in America,” her Siberian Husky, Lulu. Let her tell-it-like-it-is, best-pal style give your audience their wake-up call!
