Books by Ellen DeGeneres

Four fun facts about Ellen: 1: Before she got her start in comedy, Ellen worked as a vacuum cleaner saleswoman and an oyster shucker in New Orleans. 2: There is a ride featuring Ellen DeGeneres at Walt Disney World's Epcot park - Ellen's Energy World. 3: Oprah Winfrey played Ellen DeGeneres' therapist on the 1997 "coming out" episode of ELLEN. 3: Ellen used to love "Hot Sox" - tall, glittery socks popular in the early 70s. But after moving to small-town Texas, she decided to give them away: "I'm going to a place where they have gun racks on the back of the pickup trucks...I just have to get rid of anything weird," she told THE NEW YORK TIMES.
