Ellen's picture showed her back in 1987, during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Carlson.

Tiger King has proved the standout sensation of lockdown, winning antihero Joe a legion of fans.
The seven-part documentary, which premiered on March 20 and tops Netflix's US trending list, depicts the tumultuous world of the 57-year-old cat-loving Joe.

He made a small fortune on his questionable private zoo - and then lost it all in a maelstrom of jealous feuds, mysterious fires, failed political campaigns and convoluted murder plots.
Tiger King begins and ends at a prison in rural Oklahoma, where Joe Exotic was serving his 22-year sentence for plotting the murder of nemesis Carole Baskin, until he was transferred to a federal facility in Texas last week.
Fans are dressing up in feline-patterned garb, getting Joe Exotic haircuts, and posting pictures of themselves with their pets -- real and stuffed --- on social media.
Rap star Cardi B said she wanted to raise money to help reopen his case to get him out of jail - and then said she was 'just playing,' though she added: 'I do love him tho.'
An array of actors are photoshopping themselves into Joe Exotic pics, though the directors of Tiger King say Joe himself would like Brad Pitt or David Spade to do the honors.
The series has put retired basketball Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal on the spot. O'Neal makes a cameo in the documentary, but has insisted he was only visiting.

'I don't harm tigers,' he said on his podcast. 'I love tigers. (...) I was just a visitor.'
Just as the virus crisis has fueled his ticket to stardom, Joe has been sequestered in a special prison wing due to possible coronavirus exposure, his husband Dillon Passage said this week.
And though he has no television in prison, he is aware of his unlikely overnight fame.
'Joe is somebody who has always wanted to be a star, and so he's very excited for this to have captured people's attention the way it did,' Tiger King co-director Rebecca Chaiklin told The Hollywood Reporter.
