Ellen DeGeneres

Ellen Lee DeGeneres (born January 26, 1958 in New Orleans, Louisiana of French, English, German and Irish descent) is an American actress, stand-up comedian, and, most recently, host of a syndicated talk show.

Personal life

Her relationship with former Another World actress Anne Heche turned into fodder for the tabloid press. After several years in the spotlight, Heche broke up with her. DeGeneres then dated photographer Alexandra Hedison for several years, and they appeared on the cover of Advocate magazine (ironically, after their split had already been announced to the press). DeGeneres is now in a committed relationship with the Arrested Development star, Portia de Rossi.
