Wow. Someone's just crawled out from under a rock.
Didn't Anne Heche make a small run on Ally McBeal?
Yes, but she had a pretty large role. She's still hot.
Personal life
De Rossi, who was married for two years to documentary filmmaker
Mel Metcalfe,
[2] is now openly gay. From 2000 – 2004, de Rossi dated singer
Francesca Gregorini, daughter of actress
Barbara Bach and stepchild of
Ringo Starr. De Rossi dodged media questions about her
sexual orientation and the relationship during this period. De Rossi was rarely pictured with Gregorini in public.
In a September 2005 magazine interview with
The Advocate, de Rossi said that most of her family and
Ally McBeal cast mates learned she was
gay because of
tabloid pictures of de Rossi and Gregorini in 2001.
[2] The couple broke up in late 2004 as de Rossi began dating talk show host and
comedian Ellen DeGeneres. In 2005, de Rossi officially
came out and opened up about being gay in interviews with
Details and
The Advocate.
Plus, she has a role on "Nip/Tuck" as a lesbian with a bitch of a daughter.
