Actor · Born April 1, 1968 (58) · Louisville, Kentucky, USA

Traci Lind (born April 1, 1968 in Louisville, Kentucky) is an American former film actress and model. Discovered at 13 by modelling agent John Casablancas, she transitioned into acting with the 1986 drama My Little Girl, before playing a host of scream queen parts in films including Fright Night Part 2 (1988), Spellcaster (1988) and Class of 1999 (1990). Her other credits included The Handmaid's Tale (1990) and Voyager (1991) for German filmmaker Volker Schlöndorff, Barry Levinson's Bugsy (1991) and Wim Wenders's The End of Violence (1997). She retired from the entertainment industry in 1997, explaining in a rare email interview in 2013 that acting was the wrong path for her as she is an intensely private person. "As soon as I figured out how to segue out of it," she wrote, "I did."

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
