Christopher McCandless

Who was this Tracy girl potrayed in the Into The Wild movie? Is she a real person?
Has she ever been interviewed? What was their relationship like? I have tried to search information about her but found nothing.

Yes she is a real person. she did an interview w/ animal planet for the new chris documentary being released later this year. I spoke with her a number of times and she is a very nice and interesting lady.

Any idea when the special airs?

wish i knew, if i find out anytime soon i'll be sure to share the info.

So, Salmo, why didn't you PM the guy about your annoyances? And why did you really leave Alaska? The truth now.

Salmo? Pff
Don't concern yourself over this matter, it has nothing to do with you.
As far as leaving Alaska, well, once you've lived there, you never really leave Alaska.
There's some truth for ya.
You're welcome.

Very real, indeed. Don't be surprised if she gives new information about Chris, particularly regarding how and with whom he left Slab City (Sean Penn's film has Jan Burress driving him to Salton City), and about their relationship.
