Traci Bingham first appeared on the radar screen for most people when she portrayed Jordon Tate on the show Baywatch. It was here where she crossed a racial barrier. Traci was the first African American to don the red bathing suit of a Baywatch lifeguard. This wasn't exactly Jackie Robinson stepping on to the diamond at Dodger Field for the first time, but it got the attention of many of us.
What will probably come as a mild surprise to most is that Ms. Bingham is a young lady with a Harvard education. Beginning her post high school academic career at Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland, Ohio Traci showed exceptional flair. She then went on to the prestigious Ivy League University. The acting bug got under her skin though, and she dropped out of Harvard to pursue a career in front of the camera. Harvard's loss is our gain. Since opting out of a Harvard degree, Traci has appeared in literally dozens of projects. Most of her time has been spent working on ventures for television, but she has popped up in a few feature films as well. She has also turned more than her share of heads with a high profile appearance in playboy. Recently Traci Bingham has joined forces with Empire Poker. Like many other celebrities today she has found herself gravitating towards the game of Texas Hold'em, and the move to Empire Poker just became a natural fit. Traci will be appearing at poker events, like the World Poker Tour and World Series of Poker, as well as number of other high-profile events wearing the Empire Poker gear. She will also be appearing in their print and television ads. It is beginning to look like trading her red bathing suit in for an Empire Poker T-shirt is one of the best moves this young lady has ever made.
