The Young and the Restless Star Tracey Bregman Opens Up About Her 40 Years In Genoa City
In a new interview with Daytime Confidential, the brunette beauty says it sure if a great feeling knowing that she’s managed to get her character, Lauren Fenmore, where she is today. Tracey said, “It’s surreal. It’s like, where did the time go? That’s the thing that blows my mind. Where did the time go? I know I was there every second of it, but I can’t believe it’s been four decades!”
The actress also reminisced about her first day on the set of The Young and the Restless. And believe it or not, her first scene was actually filmed at the coffee house! She said, “I was working with Beth, and I think there were other people at our table. I don’t remember them sadly, but I remember Beth. She’s the one that showed me around, where to go, and how to do it. Luckily, I’d had two-and-a-half years on Days of Our Lives. So, daytime wasn’t new to me.”

She said, “The only part that was hard, because Beth was my best friend in real life and we spent all our time together, was to have to say anything negative about her body. That was incredibly hard for me to do! Everything besides that, was so much fun. I loved being mean! I loved being the bad girl!”
