What happened to Ellen Muth and where is she today? Wiki Bio

Ellen Anna Muth was born in Milford, Connecticut USA, on 6 March 1981, so her zodiac sign is Pisces and she holds American nationality. She is an actress, who gained recognition after starring as Georgia ‘George’ Lass in the comedy drama series “Dead Like Me”, which also starred Callum Blue and Jasmine Guy and which follows a girl who dies and becomes a grim reaper.

It seems as Ellen hasn’t appeared in a single movie or TV series in the past couple of years, but is rather focused on racing fast cars.

Childhood and education

Ellen was raised in Milford by her mother Rachel Muth who was an actress, and her father Dr. Erich Muth who is the most famous optician in the US – he was once The National Optician of the Year, and the Smithsonian Museum has an entire sector donated by him, while another museum carries his name.

Ellen attended a public high school where she became interested in acting, so her mother took her to her first audition when she was 14. At the time she was appearing in all of the plays organized at her school, and was also physically active, playing a variety of sports. By the time she matriculated, she met famous American actress Marlo Thomas, who invited Ellen to study acting at The Lee Strasberg Institute on a full scholarship.

Ellen graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in theatre in 2003.

Roles in movies

Ellen made her debut film appearance in the psychological thriller “Dolores Claiborne” in 1995 at the age of 14, and for her performance won a Tokyo International Film Festival Award for the Best Supporting Actress. In 1999, she portrayed Constance in the comedy drama “The Young Girl and the Monsoon”, and was rewarded with an American Film Institute (AFI) Award for Best Actress, while the same year saw her play Rachel in “Only Love”. In 2000 she appeared in “The Truth About Jane” and “Cora Unashamed”.

She went on to appear in movies “Rain” in 2001, “A Gentlemen’s Game” in 2002, and “Tofu the Vegan Zombie in Zombie Dearest” in 2007, before being invited to star in three short films “Jack N Jill” in 2008, “Dead Like Me: Life After Death” in 2009, and “Rose and Violet” in 2011.

Two of Ellen’s most recent appearances in movies have been in “Margarine Wars” and “Rudyard Klipling’s Mark of the Beast”, both released in 2012.

Appearances in TV series

Ellen made her debut TV series appearance in 1997, portraying Adele Green in the episode “Thrill” of the police procedural and legal drama series “Law & Order”.

She was invited to guest star in three series in 2000 – “The Beat”, “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”, and “Normal, Ohio”, then in 2003 she began portraying Georgia in “Dead Like Me”, and was nominated for a Saturn Award for the Best Actress on Television, and for a Satellite Award for the Best Actress – Television Series Drama for her performance.

Two of Ellen’s latest appearances in series have been in “The Inappropriate Website Episode” of the sitcom “Are We There Yet?”, and two episodes of the psychological horror series “Hannibal” in 2013.

Love life and boyfriend

There have been rumors circulating the internet about the popular actress being a lesbian, due to the fact that she has portrayed several teen gay characters, however, it is believed that Ellen is simply a good actress and is straight (or bisexual).

In 2004 she began dating Jeffrey Donovan, a noted actor known for portraying Michael Western in the series “Burn Notice”, but that was for less than a year – Michael is today married to Michelle Woods and they have a daughter Claire and a son Lucas together. It appears as Ellen has been single since her split from Jeffrey, hasn’t married and doesn’t have children.

Jeffrey Thomas Donovan was born in Amesbury, Massachusetts USA, on 11 May 1968 – his zodiac sign is Taurus and he holds American nationality. He was raised alongside his two brothers by their mother Nancy Matthews, as their father left when the boys were still babies, and the family was very poor. Jeffrey found comfort in acting while attending Amesbury High School, and then studied at Bridgewater State College, eventually switching to the University of Massachusetts, Amherst and graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in drama in 1990, while he received his Master of Fine Arts degree in theatre from the New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts.

Today, Jeffrey is most famous for starring in series such as “American Bikers”, “Burn Notice”, and “Shut Eye”.

Quotes

#Quote
1'What do you really think happens after you die?' That's the question that everyone, everyone, everyone asks. And I'm so sick of it. But my true answer is, I don't know. And there's no way I'm going to find out 'til it happens.
2It was something she didn't want me to do because she thought the rejection would ruin my self-esteem. My father was, like, 'If she wants to try it, let her try it.'
3Oddly, because she has that confidence, the people around her like her more. She becomes more a part of the Reaper family, and she also is able to get along with people more outside of their circle as well.
4Oh, she just happened to be a friend of the producer's. Or, oh, they've been trying to get her from the beginning and she just had a spot open up. There are always little loopholes, so I don't take anything personally anymore.
5Things that go on at Happy Times are very funny this year, and if you were watching last year, some of the people you saw then as basically extras emerge as real characters in their own right this season, at least to some degree.
6This season is a lot funnier, not as dark, mainly because, well, she has accepted the fact that she is dead. She knows she cannot go back to where she was when she was alive.
7Early in last season, George was very worried about other people's emotions, especially how they saw her, and felt she was outside looking in. This year, she still hopes people will accept her for who she is, but if they don't, she's OK with that.
8Ever since I was a little kid, whenever my parents would have company over, I would put on shows, whether they would be magic shows, singing shows, dancing shows, little skits.
9I find that the majority of the actors I've worked with are extremely sensitive people and very spontaneous people. That's why I always say I'll never date an actor, because they're in love with you one day and the next day they're not.
10I'd hope to reach any kid who feels apart from the group - those who seem to be outsiders, who feel different. Kids who want to reach their parents often don't know how to do so.
11I'm playing George quite a bit differently this season, and I'm glad you picked up on the fact that she kind of made peace with her situation at the end of last season.
12First, I used some of my own experiences and observations from attending a public high school. Secondly, I joined in some Internet chat rooms for gays and lesbians.
13There were times when there were parts that I was sure I got and then I didn't, and I did get upset. But at this point, it doesn't affect me in the least because I know how the business works.
14I hope the film will help mothers and fathers to be aware that 15 is a very vulnerable age.
15If I did anything 'next,' I would do writing.
16Oh, she didn't schlep me. I schlepped her, actually. I was the one who wanted to be an actress.
17I feel most comfortable playing and creating characters who are least like myself.
