| A feisty woman who is in control of her life, Portia de Rossi is the poster child for risk takers who land on their feet. She's living proof that if you want big rewards, you have to take big risks. |

Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, Portia -- whose real name is Amanda Lee Rogers -- was born on January 31, 1973. One of two children, she was raised solely by her mother following her dad's death when she was only 9.
Realizing that life could be short and unexpected, Portia (who changed her name at age 15) decided to make "every moment count" and threw herself into a variety of projects, most notably modeling and TV commercials.
Although she seemed like a natural from the start, Portia had no interest in pursuing acting professionally. Instead, she enrolled herself into the University of Melbourne with the hopes of becoming a lawyer (and getting A's in the process). |
