Dawn Acton – Tracy Barlow from Coronation Street

The character Tracy Barlow from Coronation Street had gone through a rough past, especially during her teenage years. The role itself was filled by four different actresses, the most recent of which is Kate Ford. But another memorable star was Dawn Acton, who played the part when she was just 11.

However, Acton actually auditioned to play the adult Tracy but lost to Ford, and she was never seen again. The Ashton-under-Lyne-native has since focused on music in Manchester and may not be recognizable to some. Although the flawless complexion is still there, she has aged away from the public eye. As per reports, she’s busy teaching kids to read.
