Tracey Conway Actress Brought Back from Death Tracey Conway was 38 when her life changed forever. The Emmy-winning actress was taping a television comedy show when she literally dropped dead from sudden cardiac arrest. Twenty minutes later, paramedics shocked her heart into beating again. Overcoming 20-to-1 odds, she survived and turned her miraculous recovery into a poignant yet laugh-out-loud presentation that has wowed everyone from maximum-security inmates to Oprah Winfrey. Conway’s inspiring, informative presentation, “Drop Dead Gorgeous!” is a rousing anthem that inspires women to get passionate about their health. Grab-your-tissues sniffles alternate with rousing belly laughs in this memorable and heartfelt presentation that has entertained and engaged audiences from Boise to Budapest. Her “Dead: Been There! Done That!” program is equally startling and stimulating, and focuses on lessons learned while forced to embrace drastic changes in her personal and work life. Aside from being an internationally acclaimed speaker, Conway is an accomplished writer. She most recently contributed the lead story in Chicken Soup for the Soul, Healthy Living: HEART DISEASE. Sought for her effervescent-yet-educated presence, she served as a panelist on Second Opinion, the PBS series that showed—in a way never seen before—how doctors navigate their way through tough medical decisions.
