What Happened To Sasha Barrese After The Hangover Trilogy?
The Hangover revolutionized the comedy genre in 2009. With multiple sequels, countless quotable moments, and the onscreen bromance of a lifetime between Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis, it's hard not to acknowledge the pop culture power of the hit franchise. Even Baby Carlos is still an icon!
While some supporting stars like Ken Jeong went on to find wider fame, others disappeared from Hollywood entirely — or even forgot they were in the movie in the first place. Sasha Barrese, who played disgruntled bride Tracy, quit acting following the release of The Hangover III in 2013 after over two decades in the industry, per Insider.
Barrese's first onscreen appearance was in 1989, and the star went on to have minor roles in films like Legally Blonde, American Pie, and The Ring, prior to 2009's The Hangover. She also had recurring parts in the TV series Just Shoot Me!, LAX, and Run of the House, according to IMDb, before leaving Hollywood. So what is Barrese up to today? Keep scrolling to find out!
