Dawn Acton – Tracy Barlow from Coronation Street

Tracy Barlow is a well-known character on the long-running British soap opera, “Coronation Street.” One of the most memorable of the actresses who portrayed this character was Dawn Acton, who landed the role when she was just 11 years old.

Despite her early success on the show, Acton faced disappointment when she auditioned to reprise her role as the adult Tracy Barlow, losing out to Kate Ford. She has since largely retreated from the public eye, focusing on her music career and working as a teacher to help children. While Acton may not be as recognizable to some audiences today, her flawless complexion and talent as an actress remain undisputed.
