She grew up in North London, attending Heathfield School for Girls, before going on to study Classics at Leeds University; however, after a year she moved to Manchester University to pursue drama. After graduating she was accepted into the Central School of Speech and Drama, where she trained as an actor. In 1991, Oberman studied for a term at the Moscow Arts Theatre School as part of her training. Oberman has spoken of how her drive for professionalism was a result of her parents' initial concern with her career choice.〔 Coming from a strong legal background, her family "weren’t wildly happy" about her desire to become an actress: "My parents were always making me watch ''Rumpole of the Bailey'', going ‘You see? It’s just like acting, you make things up, you wear a wig and a funny outfit. Why not the law?’ But I just always, always wanted to act, as far back as I remember." Joining the Royal Shakespeare Company though, finally won her parents over.〔 However, in a 2004 interview Oberman noted that her father's death seven years earlier prevented him seeing the development of her career and her national success as an actor: "I've come a long way in my career since he died and I wish he was here to see it. He was a big ''EastEnders'' fan so I know he'd be very, very proud of me." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tracy-Ann Oberman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
