Rosie O'Donnell

  • Name: Rosie O'Donnell
  • Date of Birth: March 21, 1962
  • Place of Birth: Bayside, Queens, New York, USA
Mini-bio: Rosie O'Donnell is an American talk show host, comedian, film, television, and stage actress, and LGBT advocate. She has also announced that she has agreed to star in a Nip/Tuck spinoff show in the ro...( read more)le of Dawn Budge, a character she portrayed on the show in September 2006. From 1996 to 2002, she hosted the daytime talk show, The Rosie O'Donnell Show.



O'Donnell began her career performing stand-up around the U.S. East Coast. Her comparatively heavy-set appearance and distinctive New York accent set her apart from other comediennes and actresses.

Ms. O'Donnell hosted the VH1 stand-up comedy series in the late 1980s. She was next cast as the lead in her own sitcom in 1992, called Stand by Your Man (a U.S. version of the BBC hit Birds of a Feather), which lasted only briefly due to low ratings.

Beginning in the early-90s, O'Donnell starred in a string of comedy films including A League of Their Own, Another Stakeout, and Sleepless in Seattle. In 1994 she played Betty Rubble in the live action movie version of The Flintstones. Throughout this period, she was highly acclaimed for her performances, but lost ground in the mid-90s with the less successful films Car 54, Where Are You? and Anne Rice's Exit to Eden. She also had roles in Now and Then, Beautiful Girls, and the family movie Harriet the Spy.
