Ellen Lee DeGeneres is an American comedian, television host, and proud gay who advocates LGBTQ rights. Ellen found her success on her self-titled television series โEllenโ that became the award-winning talk show since 2003. In 2008, Ellen married her wife Portia de Rossi.ย
Ellen was born on the 26th of January, 1958, in Metairie, Louisiana. She dreamed of becoming a veterinarian but gave up the idea because she was not โbook smartโ. But other things came when she used her humor when she was frightened by the crowd in some public speaking event that led her to who and where she is now.
