Rosie O'Donnell Life

Roseann O'Donnell (born March 21, 1962) is an American comedian, writer, actor, and television presenter.

She began her comedy career as a teenager and was on the television show Star Search in 1984.

O'Donnell hosted her own syndicated daytime talk show The Rosie O'Donnell Show, which received multiple Daytime Emmy Awards, following a string of television and film roles that introduced her to a national audience.

She earned the nickname "Queen of Nice" during this period, as well as a reputation for philanthropic causes. O'Donnell spent a turbulent run as the moderator on The View, which included a public feud with Donald Trump and on-air debates concerning the Bush administration's Iraqi policies.

She hosted Rosie Radio on Sirius XM Radio from 2009 to 2011, and then appeared on OWN's The Rosie Show from 2011 to 2012.

In 2014, O'Donnell returned to The View after a brief five-month absence due to personal reasons.

She appeared on the Showtime comedy series SMILF from 2017 to 2019. O'Donnell has written about me, film, and television. In addition to comedy, film, and television, he's also a magazine editor, celebrity blogger, and author of several books, including Find Me (2002) and Celebrity Detox (2007).

She created her For All charity and promoted other charity causes with the help of celebrities on her show to attend. She has also been a vocal advocate for lesbian rights and gay rights in the United States.

O'Donnell is both a foster and adoptive mother.

She was named The Advocate's 2002 Person of the Year in May 2003; in May 2003, she became a regular contributor to the journal.

O'Donnell continues to act as both a television producer and a collaborative partner in R Family Vacations, a LGBT family vacation business.

Early life

O'Donnell, the third of five children, was born and raised in Commack, Long Island, New York. Roseann Teresa (née Murtha; 1934–1973) and Edward Joseph O'Donnell (1933–2015), an electrical engineer with experience in the defense industry, were her parents. Edward immigrated from County Donegal, Ireland, during his youth, and his mother was an Irish immigrant. O'Donnell was raised Roman Catholic. Daniel J. O'Donnell, her older brother, is now a member of the New York State Assembly. O'Donnell died of breast cancer on March 17, 1973, just four days before her 11th birthday. O'Donnell was named homecoming queen, prom queen, senior class president, and class clown while attending Commack High School. She began exploring her interest in comedy during high school, beginning with a skit that mimics Gilda Radner's character Roseanne Roseannadanna. O'Donnell briefly attended Dickinson College before heading to Boston University before eventually dropping out of college.

Personal life

O'Donnell, a resident of Nyack, New York, was born in 1996 and was later identified as Helen Hayes' home. In 2000, O'Donnell sold the house to businessman Edward M. Kopko. She lives in South Nyack, New York, and has a home in West Palm Beach, Florida.

O'Donnell is a Democrat. Senator Doug Jones of Alabama, who was elected by her campaign, has contributed to numerous political causes, including the campaign for Senator Doug Jones.

O'Donnell has spoken out on several occasions about controversial topics. On September 11, 2001, she released her opinion about the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center, in which she criticized the NIST findings and accused the US government of being complicit in the tragedy.

She played a lesbian mother in Will & Grace, a comedy on January 31, 2002. O'Donnell came out as a lesbian at Caroline's Comedy Club Ovarian Cancer Research's Benefit, a month later, announcing "I'm a dyke!" ... I'm not sure why people make such a fuss over the gay stuff. People are confused, they're shocked that this is a big surprise to someone." The announcement came two months before the end of her talk show. Although she also spoke about the importance of bringing attention to LGBTQ rights and lesbians, her primary motive was to raise the issue of LGBTQ adoption. O'Donnell is a foster and adoptive mother. She protested against adoption companies, particularly in Florida, which refused to give gay and lesbian parents the same treatment.

In a PrimeTime Thursday episode on March 14, 2002, Diane Sawyer interviewed O'Donnell. O'Donnell told USA Today that she selected Sawyer because she wanted an investigative piece on Florida's ban on gay adoption because she wanted an investigative piece on the state's ban on gay rights. "I would like to talk about my life and how (the situation) pertains to me," she told Sawyer. She spoke to two gay men in Florida who were denied a foster child if they were removed from their family's home. Because Florida prohibited gay or bisexual couples from adopting, a state statute would not allow them to adopt. Any LGBTQ activists who cited her repeated claims of being enamored of Tom Cruise on The Rosie O'Donnell Show were outraged by O'Donnell's appearance. "I said I told him to mow my lawn and give me a lemonade," she said in her response. I never said I wanted to blow him." O'Donnell returned to stand-up comedy and cut her hair after leaving her show and emerging out. O'Donnell told the media that her haircut was supposed to be modeled after Helen Terry's haircut.

O'Donnell was named Person of the Year by The Advocate in 2002, and she became a regular columnist for the publication in May 2003. "Today, Rosie's long and brave journey has led her not only to The Advocate's cover but also as a columnist," the magazine's editor-in-chief said.

In a September 26 tweet thanking Senator Lindsey Graham for his nomination as an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, O'Donnell was chastised for using a "gay slur." "This is the patriarchy exposed," the quote reads. #NotMyPresident_nooneconfirmation #NotMyPresident#NotMyPresident#WhatKavanaughConfirmation #NotMyPresident" was the message on Twitter. Kavanaugh's appointment was eventually confirmed.

Parker Jaren O'Donnell, O'Donnell's first child, was adopted as an infant in 1995. Later, Kelli Carpenter adopted Parker. Parker is a soldier who has devoted his time in combat, and he has successfully pleaded for his release to Valley Forge Military Academy in 2011.

Two weeks after Mayor Gavin Newsom approved the granting of marriage licenses to same-sex couples, O'Donnell married Carpenter, a former Nickelodeon marketing executive in San Francisco. Her decision to travel to San Francisco to marry Carpenter was seen as a show of defiance against then-President George W. Bush's endorsement for the Federal Marriage Amendment. "We were all inspired to come here after the sitting President made the derogatory and hateful remarks she made on the plane out here, with Liberty and Social Justice for everyone." Susan Leal, one of the city's top-ranking lesbians, was married by the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus, and the couple was married by the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus. "We applied for spousal privilege but were refused by the state," O'Donnell said during the Rosie magazine trial, in part because they were no closer than parents. As a result, everything that I told Kelli, every letter that I wrote her, every e-mail, every correspondence, and every talk were entered into the public domain. I am now and will always be a gay rights advocate.

Carpenter and O'Donnell have four children together. Mia, a 1997-born baby, was rescued by a foster family and announced plans to adopt her in 2000. Mia's family was removed from their home in 2001 by the state of Florida, and O'Donnell has since attempted to bring an end to the Florida law prohibiting same-sex adoption.

Carpenter had migrated out of their house in 2007. O'Donnell revealed it in mid-November 2009. When the California Supreme Court declared that their marriage had been annulled in August 2004, it was among the thousands voided.

Michelle Rounds, a 40-year-old executive-search consultant, joined O'Donnell in mid-2011. O'Donnell revealed to her studio audience on December 5, 2011, during a break in The Rosie Show's taping. On June 9, 2012, the two married in a private ceremony in New York. The couple revealed on January 9, 2013 that they had adopted a baby girl. Representatives for O'Donnell announced that they and Rounds had broken up in November of last year. After two years of marriage, O'Donnell applied for divorce from Rounds in February 2015. In October 2015, the couple's divorce was finalized. The child's complete custody was given to O'Donnell by the mother's grandmother. On September 15, 2017, two rounds died by suicide.

Chelsea, her 17-year-old daughter, and her therapy dog went missing from their Nyack, New York home in August 2015. Chelsea was discovered in Barnegat, New Jersey, a week later.

O'Donnell developed a staph infection after she mistakenly cut the middle finger of her left hand with a knife when stripping a price tag off a fishing pole in the summer of 2000. The infection stifled her for weeks, resulting in doctor amputating her hand. She later claimed that George W. Bush was to blame for the disease, saying she was planning to go on a fishing trip at the time to avoid seeing Bush on television during the then-ongoing Republican National Convention. O'Donnell has confessed to her struggles with recurrent major depressive episodes during the fall and winter months as a result of seasonal affective disorder.

In mid-August 2012, O'Donnell suffered a heart attack. An artery was 99 percent blocked, according to her, and a stent was inserted. Caldwell Esselstyn's entire diet, plant-based diet, would be favored to reverse her heart disease, she revealed on Twitter.

Rosie O'Donnell Career

Career

From 1979 to 1984, O'Donnell performed as a stand-up comedian in clubs. Larry King Live: She got her first big break on Star Search by remarking on Larry King Live:

Following this success, she debuted on television sitcoms, making her debut as Nell Harper's neighbor on Gimme a Break! In 1986, the first attempt was made in the United States. She appeared in 1988 on the radio station VH1's list of veejays. She began hosting a series for VH1, Stand-up Spotlight, a showcase for up-and-coming comedians. Melissa Gilbert appeared on Stand By Your Man, a Fox Network sitcom co-starring Melissa Gilbert in 1992. The show bombed, just as O'Donnell's film career took off. In 1992, O'Donnell made her debut film in A League of Their Own (1992) with Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, and Madonna. She was originally selected for the role of Mary Sanderson in Disney's Hocus Pocus, but it was later given to Kathy Najimy. On her blog, O'Donnell confessed that she turned down the opportunity to work with Bette Midler because she refused to portray a frightening evil witch. Betty Rubble, Meg Ryan's character's best friend, appeared in Sleepless in Seattle; as the voice of a teenage male gorilla named Terk in Disney's Tarzan; and as a baseball-loving nun in M. Night Shyamalan's Wide Awake.

On Seinfeld, O'Donnell was considered for the role of Elaine Benes.

She founded The Rosie O'Donnell Show, a daytime talk show, in 1996 for her production company KidRo Productions. The program was very popular, winning multiple Emmy Awards as well as awarding O'Donnell the title of "The Queen of Nice" for her light-hearted banter with her guests and audience interactions. O'Donnell frequently launched koosh balls at the audience and camera as part of her playful banter with her studio audience. She also expressed an obsession with Tom Cruise.

O'Donnell showcased her love of Broadway musicals and plays by inviting audience members to attend shows, premiering production numbers, and promoting ticket giveaways, with New York City as the show's home base.

O'Donnell, a vocal supporter of gun control and a leading figure in the Million Mom March, became an outspoken promoter of gun control following the Columbine shootings. "You are not allowed to own a weapon," she said on her talk show's April 19, 1999 broadcast, and "I believe you should go to jail." "I don't personally own a gun, but if you are licensed, licensed, and registered, I have no problem," O'Donnell said. O'Donnell interviewed Tom Selleck, who was promoting The Love Letter in May 1999, a month after the Columbine shootings. O'Donnell quizzed him about his latest unpaid commercial with the National Rifle Association (NRA) and inquired into the NRA's position on the use of "assault weapons." The discussion had "not gone the way I had hoped" at the end of the segment, she said, and "I apologize because it wasn't a personal attack." It was meant to raise the issue because it is in the forefront of so many people today." O'Donnell, the country's biggest volume weapons store, was a multi-million dollar paid spokesperson for five years. The cast of Annie Get Your Gun was supposed to appear on the program but O'Donnell refused to delete the line "I can shoot a partridge with a single cartridge" from the song "Anything You Can Do" and instead performed "My Defenses Are Down."

O'Donnell resigned as their spokeswoman after gun enthusiasts complained that she should not be the spokesperson for the country's biggest gun store. Kmart sells hunting rifles, not handguns or assault weapons, and she supports it. Both Kmart and O'Donnell denied that Kmart had terminated the deal. O'Donnell's bodyguard applied for a concealed weapon license in May 2000. According to O'Donnell, Warner Bros.'s security company had obtained the weapon. O'Donnell said that because of threats, she and her family are in danger.

Following the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York City, Broadway and tourism were affected, and several shows were in danger of closing. Many in the entertainment industry urged viewers to visit and support the performing arts. O'Donnell was one of many. She announced that she would donate 1 million dollars for assistance in the recovery efforts and encouraged other celebrities and civilians alike to "give till it hurts."

She left her talk show in 2002. The show was revived by The Caroline Rhea Show, starring comedian Caroline Rhea, which lasted for one season.

"The Bowtie" was a guest star on HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm episode.

O'Donnell recalled Meredith Vieira as a co-host and moderator of The View, a daytime women-focused talk show, in September 2006. With O'Donnell's more liberal counterpoint, Star Jones, a co-host on the show, has resigned, along with some speculating Jones's conservative views. Jones had also contested Jones' fast weight loss, insisting that it had been caused by gastric bypass surgery rather than dieting and exercising alone, which also fueled rumors of mistrust between the two groups. (Jones later announced that surgery had been involved.) O'Donnell is credited with keeping the show's "buzz factor up." She is also for making it more news-focused, though it has also adopted the "fluff" of daytime TV talk shows (celebrities, fashion, and food). Despite a general downward trend for most daytime television shows, sales increased by 27% during O'Donnell's first year on The View. With an average of 3.4 million viewers, the show was the fourth most watched in all of daytime in the key demographic of women aged 18-49, with record ratings in the total viewer category, up 15% compared to the previous year. O'Donnell moderated the show's "Hot Topics" segment, in which news items were discussed. O'Donnell gave the show a more political sense, and she and fellow comedian Joy Behar regularly expressed skepticism of former President Bush's domestic and foreign policy, including the Iraq war. Elisabeth Hasselbeck, as a conservative counterpoint, will generally support the Bush administration's policies, and the two will enter into an adversarial contest.

O'Donnell has occasionally sparked controversy, with one comment saying, "local Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam." O'Donnell referred to the sexual harassment probe in Boston's Catholic Archdiocese of Boston, which resulted in $157 million awarded to 983 victims on February 24, 2003, saying, "I hope the Catholic Church gets sued before the time has comes." Well, maybe we can melt down some of the gold toilets in the Pope's Vatican and pay off some of the cases because, the whole tenet of living a Christ-like life has been missing in Catholicism."

In the midst of co-host Behar's inebriated priest remarks, O'Donnell joked about communion rituals. The panel debated the Supreme Court of the United States' decision in Gonzales v. Carhart on April 19, 2007, which was upholding the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act. "If men can get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament," O'Donnell said rhetorically, "How many Supreme Court justices are Catholic?" cited a Florynce Kennedy quote. "How about the separation of church and state?" says the author. Some conservative commentators characterized her remarks as "anti-Catholic bigotry" and said that such claims against other faiths would not be tolerated. O'Donnell's outspokenness and spontaneity sometimes led to her views being recirculated by other media outlets, including O'Donnell. O'Donnell, who was frequently portrayed unfavorably by conservative media outlets and what she called Republican pundits, chastised for her remarks over more important national and global issues.

O'Donnell imitated newscasters in China on December 5, 2006. Given the comedian's promotion of LGBT rights, Vanessa Hua of the San Francisco Chronicle expressed disappointment in O'Donnell. O'Donnell apologised to those she offended on December 14, saying that "Some people have told me it's as bad as the n-word."

I was like, really?

"I didn't know that." "There's a fair chance I'll do something like that again," O'Donnell predicted, but not on purpose. "It's how my brain works" is the sole explanation. It was referred to by Time as a "pseudo-apology." "I wish I had been a bit more sincere in my public apology," O'Donnell wrote in Celebrity Detox later.

O'Donnell chastised Donald Trump for hosting a press conference to reinstate Miss USA Tara Conner, who had broken pageant rules, accusing him of using her scandal to "generate interest for the Miss USA Pageant" (to which he has the rights) by announcing that he was giving her a second shot. O'Donnell claimed that due to Trump's a variety of marital affairs and questionable company bankruptcies, he was not a moral authority for young people in America. "Left the first wife had an affair," she said. The second wife had an affair, but the 20-year-olds in America have the right idea. In reaction, Trump launched a "vicious" mass media campaign in which he appeared on several television shows, either in person or via phone, threatening to sue O'Donnell (he never did). He called her names, threatened to divorce Kelli, and said Barbara Walters regretted her selection. Walters was trapped in the middle as a social acquaintance of Trump's, and O'Donnell did not feel that Walters defended her enough, triggering what both women said was an uncomfortable clash in one of the dressing rooms. "I had pain and ache, as well as rejection," O'Donnell said, "sometimes [my emotions] overwhelm me." "I get flooded sometimes." Walters denied that she was dissatisfied with O'Donnell, saying, "I have never regretted, nor do I now regret" the Rosie O'Donnell recruitment.

O'Donnell will leave the show before the year's end of the year as a result of a refusal to reach an agreement on a new deal, ABC revealed on April 25, 2007.

O'Donnell slammed several of Bush administration's programs, particularly the war in Iraq and the subsequent occupation. She also questioned the official explanation for the World Trade Center's demise, stating that "I do believe that it's the first time in history that fire has ever melted steel." She regularly discussed recent military deaths and reports about the war, as well as criticism of the United States media for a lack of interest in these areas in comparison to media coverage around the world. This culminated in a flurry of banter with co-host Hasselbeck, as well as "the most debating period of her professional life." "655,000 Iraqi civilians were killed," O'Donnell mused on May 17, 2007.

Who are the terrorists?

... What would you say if you were in Iraq and another world leader, the United States, the richest in the world, invaded your country and killed 655,000 of your civilians? Conservative commentators condemned O'Donnell's remarks, arguing that she was comparing American soldiers to terrorists. A tense discussion ensued on May 23, 2007, perhaps because of Elisabeth Hasselbeck's unwillingness to protect O'Donnell from the criticisms; O'Donnell questioned Hasselbeck, who accused him of terroristizing our troops. "Defend your own insinuations," Hasselbeck replied in the negative, but later said, "Defend your own insinuations." O'Donnell was distraught and thought Hasselbeck had betrayed her friendship: "Someone being different on television from you to you when they're not in the dressing room." It didn't really ring true for me." When people disagreed, O'Donnell said that Republican pundits were inaccurately portraying her remarks and that right-wing media would portray her as a jerk, shaming "innocent pure Christian Elisabeth" as if they disagreed. O'Donnell decided to leave the show that day, but later claimed that the reason was not the argument itself, but rather that the camera had shown a split screen on the studio monitor, with her and Hasselbeck on either side. O'Donnell said the show's director and producer "had to do that in advance." I felt like I was being pushed into that position by the time I was awakened. The executive producer and I did not gel"; On May 25, 2007, O'Donnell and ABC decided to shorten her labor deal. According to ABC News, her Hasselbeck's remarks earned the show's highest ratings ever.

O'Donnell was included in Time magazine's annual list of the 100 Most Influential People in May 2007. According to a PARADE reader's survey, O'Donnell was named "The Most Annoying Celebrity of 2007"; "In reaction, she said, "Frankly, most celebrities are annoying... and I assume I am the most annoying, but what?"

For a specially themed Autism story that O'Donnell helped develop in 2008, The View received an Emmy Award for "Outstanding Special Class Writing" for a specially themed Autism story. The award was given to O'Donnell's longtime companion and writer, Christian McKiernan and Andrew Smith, on behalf of herself and the other two winners, Christian McKiernan and Andrew Smith.

On her website Rosie.com, O'Donnell launched Jahero, answering fan inquiries, providing behind the scenes details, and acting as a video diary. Helene Macaulay and O'Donnell's hair and make-up artist were soon joined by Janette Barber, the Rosie O'Donnell Show. They occasionally appeared on View co-hosts Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and Barbara Walters as Called Jahero, a word made up of the first two letters of each of their first names. Jenny McCarthy appeared briefly in Hasselbeck's mother-in-law and O'Donnell's mother-in-law, as well as her (now) ex-wife Kelli's mother. Kathy Griffin was also on display, where she read some of the questions. It became so popular that O'Donnell and her design team created a "on the road" version of the video blog, based on fan-submitted suggestions. In the 2007 Blogger's Choice Awards, O'Donnell was the front runner for the "best celebrity blogger" category. She received the award.

When O'Donnell resigned from CBS' game show The Price Is Right, he expressed interest in replacing long-time host Bob Barker. Barker was a regular visitor on her talk show and told reporters that she "would make a great host." Barker said he had "endorsed" her as a "possible replacement" even though it was revealed that he had no involvement in selecting his replacement, but Barker said he had no involvement in choosing his replacement. On her blog, she said that it was not going to happen and that she was reluctant to uproot her family to California.

O'Donnell appeared in and executive produced America, a Lifetime channel original film in which she plays the title character, a 16-year-old boy who is aging out of the foster care system. The film is based on the E.R. The Frank book of the same name is also available.

She appeared on Love, Loss, and What I Wore in October 2009.

"Rosie Radio," a 24-hour show on Sirius XM Radio, premiered in November 2009. Since appearing on Howard Stern's Sirius XM exhibit, O'Donnell said she was approached by the corporation. In June 2011, the radio show came to an end.

She appeared in two episodes of Smash as herself in 2013, which she also did in 2013. In the same year, she appeared on "Everything's Rosie" in an episode of Impractical Jokers.

Rita Hendricks, "a tenacious yet compassionate woman who works for the foster care system and becomes a mentor to a member of the Foster family," O'Donnell landed a reoccurring role as Rita Hendricks on The Fosters in 2014. The character remained unchanged throughout the 2016 season.

O'Donnell co-hosted The View as a co-host, with Whoopi Goldberg's return as moderator and new co-hosts Rosie Perez and Nicolle Wallace joining us in the fall of 2014. Representatives for O'Donnell revealed on February 6, 2015, that she would again leave the commission, citing her reasons as a "personal decision." O'Donnell wrote a letter to The Hollywood Reporter saying, "My health] got a little bit worse right before the holidays [my doctor] was actually worried." ... I can't really fix [my personal life] right away, but I can fix [my job]] right now."

O'Donnell made a cameo in Pitch Perfect 2, a co-host on The View in 2015. The cameo was "a bit that already seems old."

How Donald Trump caused the nasty blowup between The View's Rosie O'Donnell and Barbara Walters,  who bad-mouthed her co-host so badly she quit the show after one year

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 15, 2024
The mantra of Barbara Walters's daytime talk show The View was to 'Make Sparks' in its early days - and nobody did that more than Rosie O'Donnell. The comedienne left the show in 2007 after her first season, following a nasty blowup with Walters over Donald Trump, a new book reveals. O'Donnell called Walters a 'f****** liar' because she didn't properly defend her against attacks from the then real estate mogul.

Evan Wasserstrom, a resident of Los Angeles, was only 40 years old when he was admitted to hospital with a complete blockage in his left main coronary artery (LMCA), which was causing his heart muscle to die. On his way to the hospital and twice more on the wards before being put in a mechanical coma. Doctors feared he would never awakened or, if he did, be left unable to walk or talk again. Mr Wasserstrom, a 48-year-old man,'miraculously sprung to life' as they unplugged the life support unit.'
