Lindalee Tracey ( – ) was a Canadian broadcast journalist, documentary filmmaker, writer, and exotic dancer. She is best known for the documentary film Not a Love Story, a controversial 1981 film about pornography. 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. 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. Tracey and her husband, 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, which was eventually broadcast in 2008.

Death and legacy

Tracey died on October 19, 2006, after a four-year battle with breast cancer.
