Ellen DeGeneres

ET Online

Ellen is a high profile American comedian, television presenter, actress, writer and producer. On the hugely popular show, Ellen, she dances daily, makes her audience laugh, and celebrates people for who they are on her talk show. Conversely, it is hard to imagine a time when Ellen was burdened with shame. Before she publicly came out, she once expressed, “I was carrying around this sadness inside and the shame of the fact that I was gay. Why am I ashamed of who I am? And who’s everybody else to tell me that that’s wrong? It’s my life.”
