SHORT TAKES : Vt. Life Tracy Pollan’s Fantasy

NEW YORK — Tracy Pollan has a steady acting career; a famous husband, Michael J. Fox; a 9-month-old son, Sam, and homes on both coasts.

But she’s not quite living her fantasy life, she says in the March 5 issue of US magazine.

“Michael and I both have our fantasy of the way life will be,” said Pollan, who appears this week as Kathleen Kennedy in the ABC miniseries, “The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys.”

“I’d love for Sam to go to school in Vermont and just be a kid on a farm and have a real normal childhood,” she said. “I don’t want him growing up in L.A. We’d work a couple of times a year, and the rest of the time we’d ride horses, cook, take Sam to school.”

Pollan and Fox--who is taking four months off to help raise Sam--have a house in Los Angeles, but their recently refurbished farm in Vermont will be home, she said.

“And we bought an apartment in New York,” she said. “We’ll probably be based there and live in Vermont as much as we can. It’s all part of the never-ending effort to keep life simple.”
