Celebrities Who Were Raised By Gay Parents
Rene Russo
Rene Russo may have enjoyed a great career in Tinsel Town but she had a rough upbringing. Born and raised in Burbank, CA, her father abandoned the family when she was just two years old. Her mother, who was gay, struggled to support Russo and her sister and the Ransom actress dropped out of high school in the tenth grade to help out financially. Russo was discovered by a modeling agent when she was 17 and she became a successful print and photographer model before transitioning to acting.
