History Creator / EllenDeGeneres

Ellen married her longtime girlfriend Portia de Rossi as soon as it became legal to do so in California (making hers one of the few "grandfathered in" gay marriages between the passage of anti-gay law Proposition 8 and its ''de facto'' rejection by the Supreme Court five years later).

In addition to winning multiple Emmys, she has hosted that awards show twice, the Grammys twice, and the Academy Awards twice – her Oscar hosting in 2014 containing an infamous celebrity selfie that broke Website/{{Twitter}} (and turned out to have been a marketing stunt organized by Samsung). She was awarded the Congressional Medal of Freedom, the highest honor to be bestowed on a U.S. citizen, by President Barack Obama in 2016 for her contributions towards LGBT acceptance in the country.

In mid-2020, long standing industry rumors bubbled to the surface after serious allegations were made about the working environment on ''The Ellen [=DeGeneres=] Show'' and about Ellen's own treatment of non-celebrities off-camera. The accusations led to an internal investigation that concluded with the sacking of some of the show's long-time producers but the show was allowed to continue under new management. However, in early-2021, it was announced that the show would end in 2022.

Her self-titled sitcom ''Series/{{Ellen}}'', the first series in which she played a starring role, was a ratings success and made her a household name. However, her decision to publicly come out as a lesbian at the end of the show's run – at a time when homosexuality was still illegal in parts of the United States and even many in Hollywood chose to [[PassFail fake straight]] to avoid angering MoralGuardians – resulted in an immediate backlash against her from said corners and derailed her career for a few years.

Since coming out, she has become one of the most prominent voices in support of LGBT rights. Naturally, this has attracted the ire of the usual suspects. When she was selected as the spokeswoman for department store chain J. C. Penney, a Conservative Christian group calling itself "One Million Moms" (actual membership around 10,000) attempted to organize a boycott against the company citing her homosexuality and activism. The protest fell apart [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments when J. C. Penney received over two million letters and comments from individual customers – including many in the financially-lucrative LGBT community – stating they would boycott if Ellen was fired.]]

Ellen recovered and eventually found her niche in daytime television, where she has hosted her well-received (again self-titled) talk show since 2003, winning multiple Emmys. She has become the unofficial successor to Creator/OprahWinfrey, and booking a spot on her show is considered a very big deal. She also dabbled in voice acting, gaining critical praise for her role of Dory in ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo''.

In addition to winning multiple Emmys, she has hosted that awards show twice, the Grammys twice, and the Academy Awards twice – her Oscar hosting in 2014 containing an infamous celebrity selfie that broke Website/{{Twitter}} (and turned out to have been a marketing stunt organized by Samsung).
