Tracy was cast in the role of
Carrie because the show wanted a more mature Carrie. Tracy
fit the bill perfectly. She brought a sophistication to
Carrie. One of her main storylines as Carrie was a romance
with Lawrence Alamain.
When Carrie met Jesse Lombard,
she was finally allowed to grow up and move out of her
parent's home. She's been in the same apartment ever since.
Tracy had a great friendship with Tony Rhodes, who played
Jesse, Carrie's best friend and roommate.
Tracy hung out at one of the
annual Days basketball games.

film. {pics

From February through May
1998, Tracy appeared as Muriel McComber in AH, WILDERNESS!

Center in New York. Her costars included Craig T. Nelson
from Coach.
Tracy won rave reviews and an
Ovation Award for her lead role as Alma in the Tennessee
Williams play, Summer and Smoke in 1999. Here are
some excerpts from a review by Debbi K. Swanson:
It's the quiver of Tracy
Middendorf's chin that brings the tragically introverted
Alma to a new level in the Fountain Theater's production of
Summer and Smoke...Tennessee Williams is unmatched in
sketching sultry portraits and complex relationships in
Southern life, and this play is certainly no exception.
Alma, Spanish for soul, has not been able to find
hers....The pacing, production values and Middendorf's
intensely tender performance that will bring you to tears
makes this a show to see. {pic
