Together they became the best known homosexual couple ever, attracting the attention of Hollywood to themselves. In the 200th the relationship and the careers of the two took opposite paths: if Ellen became one of the most famous hosts of American TV, Anne entered a shadow without reviving the glories of the 90s.
