A beautiful, exotic-looking blonde with pronounced eyebrows, Portia de Rossi first caught viewers' attention playing a virginal teenager who poses as a nude art model in "Sirens" (1994). After relocating to the USA from her native Melbourne, Australia, the actress quickly found work as the love interest of star Eric Schaeffer in the short-lived Fox sitcom "Too Something" (1995) and later spent one season (1996-97) as a co-worker of "Nick Freno: Licensed Teacher" on that The WB comedy. After a turn as a drug addict in the independent "The Woman in the Moon" (1995), de Rossi landed the high profile (but decidedly tiny) role as a sorority sister in "Scream 2" (1997). She further added to her growing reputation by joining the cast of the hit Fox comedy "Ally McBeal" in the fall of 1998. As Nell Porter, de Rossi added a mix of cool allure and sultry heat to the fantasy comedy. During and after the series the actress toiled in a variety of feature films of varying quality and distinction before landing her defining role on the quirky Fox sitcom "Arrested Development" (2003 - ) playing the pampered Lindsay Bluth Fünke. de Rossi proved she was game for just about anything, perfectly conveying her character's poor parenting skills, odd marriage and routinely disastrous attempts to seduce another man into her open relationship. During the critically hailed but ratings-challenged series' run de Rossi's private life also became more public when she entered into a romantic relationship with comedienne Ellen Degeneres.
