Jodie Foster had never addressed her sexuality publicly until she got up on stage at the 2013 Golden Globe Awards to receive her Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement. Her public acknowledgement seemed to be a formality for Foster. “I hope you guys weren’t hoping this would be a big coming-out speech tonight,” she said, “because I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago, back in the Stone Age.”

While Miley Cyrus has never been one to stick to labels, she did address her bisexuality in an interview with Elle U.K., stating, “I’m very open about it—I’m pansexual.”

Even though she was photographed multiple times with ex-girlfriend Michelle Rodriguez, Cara Delevingne never directly addressed her sexuality until a recent interview with Vogue. “It took me a long time to accept the idea, until I first fell in love with a girl at 20 and recognized that I had to accept it,” she said.

In 1997, comedian Ellen DeGeneres appeared on an issue of Time magazine, which featured the cover line, “Yep, I’m Gay.” A few weeks after her announcement, DeGeneres’s character on her eponymous sitcom also came out.
