Personal life

Tracey was born in Munich, Germany to American musical arranger, record producer and composer Buddy Bregman and Canadian-born actress Suzanne Lloyd.

In 2004, Bregman launched her own yoga inspired clothing line "Bountiful Buddha" which sold popularly at friend Lisa Rinna's boutique "Belle Gray" in Los Angeles. She has also launched her own jewelry line on The Shopping Channel, called the Tracey Bregman Collection. It is only available in Canada. In July 2011 she appeared on HSN as a Spokesmodel for the Jabot cosmetics line.

Bregman is also an active supporter and honorary board member for Chenoa Manor, an animal sanctuary in Chester County, Pennsylvania.

Some of her favorite films are Terms of Endearment, When Harry Met Sally, and Broadcast News; she has been quoted as saying that she "likes to laugh and cry in the same movie!"

From April to June 2010, while still portraying Lauren, Bregman took on double-duty with The Young and the Restless, as she also portrayed Sheila Carter's sister, Sarah. When it was introduced in 1985, she was the first actress to be awarded the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series (then known as the "Outstanding Ingenue in a Drama Series"), being nominated for the same award again in 1987 and for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series in both 2006 and 2008.
