S04E12: Tracey Goessel — The Movie Doctor
Tracey Goessel's first passion was medicine. Inspired, in
part, by Star Trek, and with a goal of financial
independence, she attended medical school and had a successful
career as a clinician and trauma doctor before becoming an
entrepreneur.
Her success as an entrepreneur allowed Tracey to pursue her
other passion: silent film. Her love for Douglas Fairbanks
Sr. led her to write First King of Hollywood: The Life of
Douglas Fairbanks, considered by many to be the key
biography of the early Hollywood legend, and in 2014, Tracey
founded the Film Preservation Society. The goal of the
organization is to rescue all 460+ Biograph films directed by
D.W. Griffith between 1908 and 1913.
We recently spoke with Tracey about her passion for silent
film, how her career as a physician has informed her work as a
film historian, how technology is aiding her preservation
work, and why film preservation is important.
