Her credits include work on many films on controversial topics. ## Career Her appearance as a journalist in the film *Not a Love Story* marked a career change for Tracey.[1] [Bonnie Sherr Klein](/source/Bonnie_Sherr_Klein), one of the film's producers, described meeting Tracey when she was working as a stripper in Montreal. Sherr Klein described being impressed that Tracey's act was different from those of other women she met researching the film—playful and intelligent, allowing her to retain a greater measure of autonomy and self-respect. Tracey was hired to serve as one of the film's researchers and presenters. Following her work on the film Tracey started working as a writer and researcher, and later a producer.[1] Tracey and her husband, [Peter Raymont](/source/Peter_Raymont), set up a production company that produced many of their later works. Most of the documentaries she worked on were serious, issue-oriented films. She and Raymont created the television drama *[The Border](/source/The_Border_(TV_series))*, which was eventually broadcast in 2008. ## Death and legacy Tracey died on October 19, 2006, after a four-year battle with [breast cancer](/source/Breast_cancer).[1] Tracey's friends and family created the [Lindalee Tracey Award](/source/Lindalee_Tracey_Award) to celebrate her memory and her accomplishments.[3] A Canadian filmmaker is given the annual award at the [Hot Docs](/source/Hot_Docs) film festival in Toronto. ## Filmography - *[Not a Love Story: A Film About Pornography](/source/Not_a_Love_Story%3A_A_Film_About_Pornography)* (1981) - *[A 20th Century Chocolate Cake](/source/A_20th_Century_Chocolate_Cake)* (1983) - *[Other Tongues](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Other_Tongues&action=edit&redlink=1)* (1984) - *[Abby, I Hardly Knew Ya](/source/Abby%2C_I_Hardly_Knew_Ya)* (1995) - An English Sense of Justice - Passing The Flame: The Legacy of Women's College Hospital (1997) - *[The Undefended Border](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Undefended_Border&action=edit&redlink=1)* (2002) - *[Bhopal: The Search for Justice](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bhopal:_The_Search_for_Justice&action=edit&redlink=1)* (2004) - Shake Hands With the Devil: The Journey of Romeo Dallaire (2004) - Producer - The Border (2008 - 38 X 1 hr) - Co-Creator - The Anatomy of Burlesque ## References 1. ^ [***a***](#cite_ref-CbcObit_1-0) [***b***](#cite_ref-CbcObit_1-1) [***c***](#cite_ref-CbcObit_1-2) [***d***](#cite_ref-CbcObit_1-3) ["Filmmaker, writer Lindalee Tracey dead at 49"](https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/filmmaker-writer-lindalee-tracey-dead-at-49-1.622268).
