Back in 1991, Tracey was to make her big return to the siver screen in the Robert Zemeckis film, "Death Becomes Her". It was also to be a reunion of sorts with her "Plenty" co-star, and long-time friend, Meryl Streep.
Tracey was cast as "Toni", a bartender who befriends Dr. Ernest Menville, the husband of Madeline (Meryl), and ex-husband of Helen (Goldie Hawn).
Ernest and Toni decide to stage Earnest's death and run off together. Toni was pinnacle to the film's moral. Removing her expunges the point it's trying to make. Unfortuantely, this would be the result.
Upon completion, the film was shown to "test audiences", who filled out questionnaires recording what they "liked", "disliked", "would like to see more of". The audience prefered a darker ending of sorts. Cuts had to be made, and re-shoots had to be done. Tracey ended up on the cutting room floor.
