Tracy Pollan first met her husband Michael on the 1980s sitcom Family Ties when she played Ellen Reed, the roommate of one of Alex P. Keaton's dates. Pretty soon, Alex was falling for Ellen ... and Michael and Tracy for each other! Tracy tells Rachael how her kids react to seeing their parents on reruns of the classic show. "They couldn't be less interested!" she laughs. "It's very humbling. I'll say, 'Look what's on!' and they're like, 'Yeah ... can you turn on Hanna Montana?'"

Tracy is back on the airwaves with work on the hit show Medium, and as the star of Lifetime's highest rated movie ever, Natalee Holloway, about the girl who vanished in Aruba during a high school graduation trip. Rachael asks Tracy if being involved with such a tragic story would make her think twice about letting her own children travel abroad by themselves. "No, because I think it's important to go on with your life and to make sure that your kids feel independent and learn how to do things without you," Tracy explains. "But I think it's really important that you know where they are going and that you have certain security things in place -- you know where doctors are, you know what the laws are. You need to familarize yourself [with the area] and make sure there's a way for them to get in touch with you."
