By the mid 1990s, tricenarian comedian Tracey Ullman already had eight Primetime Emmy nominations and three wins to her name for having written, produced, and starred on her own variety sketch show. Her first victory for a different program came in 1993 for her guest appearance on the first season of the CBS sitcom “Love & War.” As Dava Levine, an eccentric ex-girlfriend of lead character Jack Stein (Jay Thomas), she was responsible for bringing the series its first of two Emmy wins.
This nomination kicked off a seven-year streak for Ullman during which she competed for at least one Emmy per year. She was 33 years old when she received the initial bid, making her the fourth youngest woman to have ever been recognized for a comedic guest appearance. Nearly three decades later, she has fallen to 10th place on the list, with two younger actresses having surpassed her within the last decade.
