For six years, Rosie O'Donnell was America's best friend for an hour each day as host and executive producer of the critically acclaimed and Emmy Award winning nationally syndicated talk/variety series "The Rosie O'Donnell Show," for which she won three Daytime Emmys. She also won a Primetime Emmy for "The 52nd Annual Tony Awards." Ms. O'Donnell was last seen on daytime television as moderator on the tenth season of ABC's "The View." Her acting credits include: TV - "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Queer as Folk," "Nip/Tuck;" Film - A League of Their Own, Sleepless in Seattle, Harriet the Spy; and on Broadway - Grease, Seussical, Fiddler on the Roof. In 2004 Rosie and Kelli O'Donnell launched R Family Vacations, a gay, lesbian, straight, young and old, family cruise to the Caribbean. HBO aired a documentary, "All Aboard Rosie's Family Cruise," directed by Emmy nominee Shari Cookson, which garnered three Emmy Award nominations and chronicled this historic undertaking, offering a glimpse of a society shaped by a truly diverse, inclusive network of families. As a tireless crusader for children, she established the "Rosie's For All Kids Foundation" in 1997. Since its inception, the foundation has raised more than $60 million and awarded more than $27 million dollars in grants to over 1,400 child-related non-profit organizations to benefit low income families across the country. In 2003, Ms. O'Donnell established "Rosie's Broadway Kids," a program that provides free in-school, after-school and summer instruction in musical theater to the public school children of New York.
