Ellen PompeoI was raised by drag queens, practically ... my mother died when I was four-years-old, so I was effectively raised by a bunch of different people.

She would baby-sit me everyday, and she would take me over to her friend's houses with all kinds of things going on: tucking, and eyebrow drawing, waxing, all sorts of things. I was literally raised by gay men.
