I saw somewhere that she was born in February 1982. For a long time her wiki page had her year of birth as 1987 and now it says 1988.
If she is indeed 32 she is the youngest looking 32 year old I've ever seen ! -

That wiki page that says she was born in 1988 is a lie. A lie that then was taken and put all around other websites that list her age, much to her delight.
The poster of this question was correct, she was born in 1982.
She likes to pretend she's younger than she is and doesn't want people to know her age (she outright avoids answering when asked). I wouldn't be surprised if she is actually the one who keeps going around changing her Wiki and other sources to list her age as being born in 1988, 6 years after she was actually born.
The one thing that's easy to look up online is her Graduation date - this is also on her Wiki and is the correct information. She graduated from High School in 2000. If she was really born in 1988, she would have been some kind of genius that graduated High School at age 12. Needless to say, that's not what happened.
"Tracys alma mater, Winnipegs cole Secondaire Oak Park High School, congratulated her in its June 2012 newsletter after she won her role on Revolution, proudly pointing to Tracy as being from the class of 2000"
Yes, she is now 33, and very very much looks it. She thinks she can get away with pretending that she is younger (which I find incredibly annoying and pathetic) because she thinks that she looks young. She doesn't look younger to me.
She very much looked to be over 30 when they filmed Revolution, even though she was playing a younger character. That of course is standard practice having people in their late 20s to early 30s play characters 10-12 years younger, but her little game of trying not to let her age be known in real life and letting this lie be spread around on websites because she likes people to think she's younger, it is pretty lame.
There are a couple of places out there that actually do list her correct birth year of 1982. Most copied the incorrect Wiki info that was up for so long however, so her little game of hiding her real birth year continues to play out.
When you see her in real life or a more detailed picture of her that hasn't been airbrushed or retouched, especially when smiling, you see all the lines and wrinkles and degrading skin elasticity that easily tell her age. That's not supposed to be an insult, that's just a fact. She doesn't look younger, she very much looks her age of 33 and very much looked 30-32 during Revolution. There's nothing wrong with that and there is no reason she should be trying to hide it. -

Quite a lot of actresses lie about their actual age.
There's this stigma in Hollywood, mostly against female thespians. When you're already in your late 20s, you're not that marketable anymore. It sucks, but that's how the system works.
Jessica Chastain's age has been disputed as well

And lots of people are also whining about Bianca Lb68awson and Troian Bellisario playing high school students in
Pretty Little Liars
.
It's a harsh and shallow world these ladies are living in.
Life is short. Death is long.
