William Morris Endeavor co-head Jennifer Rudolph Walsh is out with a book proposal from actress Portia de Rossi, who played Nelle Porter on Ally McBeal and later Lindsay Bluth on Arrested Development and is famously married to Ellen DeGeneres.
Several sources said the writing sample that Ms. Walsh sent out to editors is partly concerned with Ms. de Rossi's struggle with anorexia, which reportedly hit its worst period when the actress hit 82 pounds while on Ally McBeal.
