Ms. Tracey Trench Producer/President, Tracey Trench Productions (Executive Producer of "EverAfter", "Just Married", "The Pink Panther") A graduate of Harvard University, TRACEY TRENCH has produced a range of entertainment - film, television, theater, documentary - that has grossed almost one billion dollars worldwide. She also earned an M.B.A. in Finance from UCLA. She speaks several languages and has traveled extensively, working as a baker's apprentice in Paris and teaching English in China. She is currently a liaison between the Hong Kong Trade Development Council and Hollywood studios and networks. She is also a guest lecturer and advisor at UCLA's Graduate Producers Program. Before becoming a producer, Tracey was a studio executive at Twentieth Century Fox, where she developed and nurtured the idea of franchise family comedies, including "The Power Rangers." During this time, as a personal project, she financed and produced the award-winning documentary "Fear and Learning at Hoover Elementary," about a ten-year-old immigrant girl in L.A.'s poorest neighborhood. The film won a prize at the Sundance Film Festival, an Emmy nomination, and the DuPont-Columbia Award - given out by the same committee that selects the Pulitzer Prize. Her skill at producing a rich story on a very limited budget impressed top executives Peter Chernin and Bill Mechanic at Fox who offered her the opportunity to produce the Cinderella-themed dramedy "Ever After." The film was shot in the medieval Perigord region of France, starring Drew Barrymore. It became a sleeper hit for Fox, grossing over $100 million worldwide. She has made a total of thirteen feature films including the comedy hits "The Pink Panther" starring Steve Martin, "Yours, Mine and Ours," starring Dennis Quaid, "Cheaper by the Dozen," "Herbie, Fully Loaded," and "Just Married."
