Without a doubt, Ellen DeGeneres did justice to her character, a short-haired woman in her early 30s who strongly dislikes feminine clothes and dates men once in a while, only to end up realizing she’s actually into women. Ellen Morgan is also a gawky people-pleaser who starts prattling whenever she lands into a situation that’s too awkward for her to handle — but in an endearing way.
After “Ellen” ended, DeGeneres starred in another sitcom titled “The Ellen Show,” which aired on CBS from September 2001 to January 2002. In 2003, she won hearts by voicing Dory in the animated Disney movie “Finding Nemo,” the 2016 sequel of which (“Finding Dory”) saw DeGeneres reprising the role. In 2003, the comedian also launched her very own talk show titled “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” Despite garnering extreme popularity, she faced huge backlash in 2020 after former and then-working employees called the show and its host out on the racism, sexism, and sexual harassment they faced on the set. After 19 seasons, “The Ellen Degeneres Show” ended in controversy, with its final episode airing in May 2022.
Over the years, DeGeneres has performed stand-up comedy, acted in a handful of movies, and hosted multiple award shows, including the Emmys, Grammys, and Oscars. She has also authored books like “My Point…And I Do Have One,” “The Funny Thing Is…,” and” Seriously…I’m Kidding.” She’s been married to actor Portia de Rossi since 2008.
