Traci Lind is a retired American film actress known for playing Janine in the 1990 film The Handmaid's Tale, Missy McCloud in My Boyfriend's Back, and stuntwoman Cat in Wim Wenders' The End of Violence. She also had supporting roles in several other films including Nurse Graves in The Road to Wellville, Christie Langford in Class of 1999, and Natalie St. Clair in Bugsy.

Prior to her film career, Lind played the role of Pru Shepherd on the soap opera Ryan's Hope from 1984 to 1985. She also had a starring role in the video for Lou Gramm’s hit song "Midnight Blue", released in January 1987.[2]

She began modeling at age 13 after being discovered by the Elite agency's head, John Casablancas. In 1997, Lind went public with accusations of abuse regarding former boyfriend Dodi Fayed, who later died in a car accident along with his new partner, Diana, Princess of Wales.[3] Later that same year, she retired from acting, saying in a 2013 interview: "I am an intensely private person, so the whole acting thing was just the wrong path for me."[4]
