Portia de Rossi – Australian/U.S.

The Arrested Development actress and wife of the incomparable Ellen Degeneres Portia de Rossi is half-Aussie! As if DeGeneres hasn’t stressed it enough, prouder than Rossi herself as it appears. Born in Horsham, Victoria, this femme fatale is an entity in her own right. She is a big advocate for mental health and eating disorders, which was discussed in detail in her book entitled Unbearable Lightness: A Story of Loss and Gain. More than anything else, she constantly battles body dysmorphia, which led to her promoting an optimistic outlook on body image.

She is also a charitable person at heart, very much like her wife. Rossi supports organizations like Locks of Love, African AIDS relief, and Alley Cat Allies. She also has had a terrific run in Hollywood, with numbers of nominations, credits, and awards. Even with the success that she had in the Land of The Free, she still makes it a point to visit her hometown as much as she can.
