Tracee Meltzer (née Phelps) (born October 23, 1962), best known as Roxy Astor, is an American actress, wrestler and hairstylist. Her notoriety began when she wrestled as one half of the tag team duo The Park Avenue Knockouts on G.L.O.W.: Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling.  She wrestled on G.L.O.W. for seasons 3 and 4.

Early life

Tracee Leigh Phelps was born in Auburn, Washington, the daughter of Earleen Ane Colvin (née Phelps).[1]

She is the oldest of 2 children: Tracee and Kim.  She attended Auburn High School in Auburn, Washington.  After graduating, she attended Seattle Art Institute.

Early career

Meltzer moved to California after a break up to move on with her life.[2] She became a hairdresser and later was interested in auditioning for GLOW yet she had no acting experience.[3]

GLOW Wrestling

Meltzer saw a banner on TV that said, “Do you want to be a GLOW Girl?”  Despite having no acting experience, this prompted her to audition for the show. She initially tried out with becoming a bad girl in mind, even bringing headshots of her standing next to a motorcycle. After seeing her audition out of 3500 other women, director Matt Cimber hired her:[4] Meltzer wrestled as Roxy Astor for seasons 3 and 4 of GLOW’s run on syndicated television.  Despite being a natural blond from Washington, her character was a red-headed socialite from New York City.[5] Ironically, she had never been to New York in her life up to that point.[3] Having been a professional hairdresser, Meltzer did a lot of the wrestlers’ hair for GLOW, including her own.  She colored her hair with temporary red dye. Meltzer's character Roxy Astor along with her tag team partner Tiffany Mellon (played by Sandra Lee Schwab, later known as Tiffany Million in the adult film industry) were the Park Avenue Knockouts, replacing the Beverly Hills Beauties Tina Ferrari and Ashley Carter (played by Lisa Moretti and Nadine Kadmiri, respectively) from seasons 1 and 2.[2]

Years after GLOW had been taken off the air, an award-winning documentary about the show, The Story of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, was produced in 2012. Besides Meltzer, her daughter Kayla Meltzer (who wrestled under the name Juvi Hall in Wrestlicious and tried out for WWE’s NXT as Britney Astor) was also interviewed for the film.[5] The documentary sparked a renewed interest in GLOW and, in 2013, Matt Cimber started working on a new wrestling program called Femme D’Action starring new wrestlers as well as some of the original GLOW wrestlers in different non-wrestling roles.[6]

AfterGLOW

Despite being a ratings juggernaut that surpassed even WWF wrestling (later renamed WWE), GLOW was unexpectedly cancelled. “For me, it was just never quite done,” said Meltzer, whose sentiments reflected many of the other wrestlers who never had the opportunity to find closure when the show stopped production.  The 2012 documentary The Story of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling had revived renewed interest in GLOW and just as the wrestlers had not found closure, they also learned that their fans were left wondering what had happened, too.  With many of the wrestlers being found by fans on social media, Meltzer decided to plan a reunion for the fans called “The AfterGLOW Fan Party.”  She started a Kickstarter campaign and called it AfterGLOW. Fundraising surpassed the $5000 goal. Meltzer stated on the fundraising site.[7]

Several of the original wrestlers from GLOW reunited for the first ever Q-&-A stage show called “The AfterGlow Fan Party” on Saturday, October 25, 2014 at the Acme Comedy Theater in Hollywood. Johnny C, the original ring announcer from GLOW emceed the event. The wrestlers in attendance were Daisy (Helena LeCount), Dallas (Debi Pelletier Miller), Godiva (Dawn Maestas), Gremlina (Sandy Manley), Jailbait (Trisha Casella), Little Egypt (Angelina Altashin), Major Tanya (Noelle Rose), Matilda the Hun (Deanna Booher), Melody Trouble Vixen (Eileen O’Hara), Roxy Astor (Tracee Meltzer), and Sunny the California Girl (Patricia Summerland).[8]

After the success of the first AfterGLOW Fan Party, Meltzer continued with the AfterGLOW brand and has used that platform to bring recognition to the original GLOW brand.  She organizes AfterGLOW events for fan meet-and-greets and she has also set up three successful AfterGlow cruises full of activities.[9] Unlike other fan meet-and-greets, Meltzer has designed events where the fans have an opportunity for one-on-one, individual experiences as opposed to just waiting in line for an autograph and picture.[3][2][10]

She has also planned personal appearances around the country where fans can meet her and bring their GLOW related items for her to sign.  She has also set up wrestling workshops to train ordinary folks to transform into invincible GLOW wrestlers themselves![11]

Meltzer continues to find new projects for AfterGLOW.

AfterGLOW: The 80s Musical Experience Stage Show

AfterGLOW: The 80s Musical Experience was the brainchild of original GLOW girl Roxy Astor (Tracee Meltzer). On October 23, 2018, Meltzer's 56th birthday, all of her labor came to fruition and AfterGLOW: The 80's Musical Experience premiered at the 11:11 Theatre in West Hollywood. Directed by award-winning Christopher G. Carver and written by Melissa Wassum, the show starred five of the original GLOW girls: Matilda The Hun (Dee Booher), Roxy Astor (Tracee Meltzer), MTV (Eileen O’Hara), Dallas (Debi Pelletier Miller), and Sunny the California Girl (Patricia Summerland).  The show is based on the real-life stories of 5 of the original GLOW wrestlers.  The show opens with the wrestlers reunited at Mountain Fiji’s memorial as they relive never before told stories from behind the scenes of GLOW.  The show also starred LA Radio talk radio star Sheena Metal and Shameless star Mary Kennedy.  Also starring in this show were Kayla Ane Meltzer (Roxy Astor’s real life daughter and professional wrestler), Charlene Ward, Jasmine Fontes, Melissa Wassum, Taylor Ann Tracy, Justin Root, Robert Samo, and Nic Hodges.[12]

Hairstyling

Meltzer has styled hair for three decades.[13]

Personal life

Meltzer is the mother of three children: Dylan, Kayla and Lindzee. Her daughter Kayla wrestled for the Wrestlicious promotion under the name “Juvi Hall” and has also wrestled under the name "Britney Astor."[14] She has also been dating former U.S. marshal and 2-time world kickboxing champion Dan Magnus since 2013.[15][16] Meltzer is a frequent guest an several radio shows such as GoTarryn! TV and Totally Driven Radio.
