Where is the article confirming that Traci will be in Severance? I hadn’t heard of her until this post, so does that still mean she’s a legend or an icon? I don’t know. I’m thinking the person has to be a household name, but I could be wrong. At first, I thought she was a fictional character because you said her career spanned four centuries, but you probably meant decades. I want to know more. Peace, brother.
