Who's That With Ellen? | Friday, April 25, 2008 | 10:00 AM

Who's That with Ellen?

Answer: Annette Bening.

Annette played Dan Akyroyd's wife Kate in "The Great Outdoors." Annette's first television break was in an episode of "Miami Vice."

Annette played a real estate agent in "Regarding Henry," "American Beauty," and "What Planet Are You From?"

Annette was originally slated to play Tess Coleman in "Freaky Friday." At the last moment, she was unable to commit to the project and was replaced by Jamie Lee Curtis. Kelly Osbourne also dropped out of the movie for personal reasons and was replaced by Christina Vidal.

next: Ellen's 800th Poll!

Congratulations on your 800th show! I can't wait for the next 800. I work days but broke my wrist in January and had foot surgery in February,so I was off for six-weeks and was able to watch your show. I care for my 88 year-old mom who lives with me and yours is the only show we agree on. I just went back to work full time on Tuesday and mom's job every day is write down the songs so I could enter to win tickets for your Chicago show. Well, I come home and find notes that "It is hot," and mom's always cold so I crank up the heat. Then I came home to find a note "That was good," and I thought it was because I made a pie & told her she could start the pie before I got home. Well,lucky me I tripped & fell at work today and had to get x-rays (foot is OK)and come home & ice it every 20 minutes. It coudn't have been a better day--I was lucky to see your 800th show. It was awesome and so are you! Thanks for giving so much of yourself to the rest of us. You are always helping others and we can see it comes from the heart. It is great when you recognize others for their good deeds. I didn't win tickets for Chicago, so I hope you come back again soon. I may take a ride downtown anyway so if you see someone walking with a limp on their left foot, say "Hi" cause it could be me! And yes, the Chicago River will be blue for you!
Love you! Kathy

Dear Ellen
Your show is very painful for me to watch!
I recently tore my abdominal muscles and when I watch you, I can't stop laughing. It really hurts a lot.
I know laughter is the best medicine, so
NO PAIN, NO GAIN.
Love you! You keep me in stitches...literally!
