Portia was born in Geelong, Australia. Her birth name is Mandy Rogers, but at the age of 15, she changed it to Portia, as a form of teenage rebellion. After high school, she got accepted to the famous Australian university, University of Melbourne, where she attended and studied law. While at school, Portia auditioned for the movie Sirens, a low budget movie that starred Hugh Grant. She was cast as one of three beautiful models in the movie. In 1997, her acting career really started to gain traction. She starred as Murphy in the sequel Scream 2, and in 1998, she performed, for me, her most famous role as Nelle Porter in "Ally McBeal".
Now Portia did come out as a Lesbian and married Ellen DeGeneres a few years back. Some may be turned off by this, but not me. This is one thing that makes this Australian sexier than ever!
