Ellen DeGeneres is a generous comedian, actress, talk show host, motivational speaker and business woman. Her career started in the 80`s when she was performing her stand up comedy acts in clubs and coffee shops. Her monologue a phone call to God opened many doors for her. She was invited to the Tonight Show and she never really looked back. In 1997, she made a bold move to admit on national television that she’s a lesbian. It had a huge effect on her life and career.

She changed the name of her show to “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and it is a huge success, on par with the Oprah Winfrey show. She is married to Portia de Rossi (2008) and is the spokes person for a few major brands and corporations. She hates bullies and gives help and money freely where needed.
