Amanda Lee Rogers, now known as Portia de Rossi, was born on 31st January 1973 to Barry Rogers and Margaret Rogers in Horsham, Victoria, Australia. However, the Australian actress would grow up in the suburban area of Geelong. When de Rossi was nine years old, her father died. As de Rossi and the remainder of her family was struggling to survive, the 11-year-old girl decided to start a career in the entertainment industry, working as a model and an actress in television ads.
At the age of 15, the sexy star had legally changed her name to “Portia de Rossi,” inspired by the Shakespearean heroine of “The Merchant of Venice” because it seemed more exotic.
