Early life
Ellen Kathleen Pompeo was born in Everett, Massachusetts, the daughter of Joseph, a salesman, and Kathleen Pompeo. Of Irish and Italian descent, she was raised Roman Catholic. Her grandfather was born in Gesualdo, a village in the Province of Avellino, Italy.[citation needed] Her mother died of a painkiller overdose when Ellen was four, and her father remarried soon after. She has five older siblings, three sisters and two brothers. She was nicknamed the pencil, and Stracciatella (a cream-flavoured ice cream with solid dark chocolate inside).
For more than two years, she served cocktails in Miami, where she met fashion photographer Andrew Rosenthal, with whom she was romantically linked for some time.[citation needed] In 1996, she was bartending at the SoHo Bar & Grill in New York City's Upper West Side when an agent approached her to appear in commercials.[citation needed] Subsequently, she appeared in commercials for Citibank and L'Oréal.[citation needed] She began her career with minor roles on television shows like Strangers with Candy, Friends and Law & Order and a handful of others. On Friends, she played the character Missy Goldberg, a girl with whom Chandler Bing had an affair when they were in college. He concealed it from Ross Geller, his best friend, because they had a pact over which girls they could date and which they couldn't. Missy was meant to be a very popular girl in college, rather like Rachel Green, one of Ross's other girlfriends.
