Tracey In Marilyn Beck & Stacy Jenel Smith Column

She's very similar to Meryl Streep. Meryl doesn't want to be away from her children, and is very happy being a mother. And I love the bit about how Meryl is the only one still working in her 50's. Don't worry Tracey, you'll be there very soon!

ON THE PERSONAL SIDE: Tracey Ullman tells us she'd like to work more, but for now she's content being a mother and doing her TV show, "State of the Union." "I've started writing some more, but I've just been doing these shows really," Ullman says of her Showtime series. "My son is in school here, so I don't want to do anything that takes me away. I guess when he goes to college I can do other stuff. This is enough for me to do, quite honestly," she adds. "If I ever get offered a nice part in a film, then that'd be great, but they are few and far between. Only Meryl Streep is working in her 50s. I'm not there yet, but I'm getting there."
