4. Ellen Pompeo didn’t have to audition
It seems mad to think but the leading lady didn’t even audition for the iconic role of Meredith Grey!
She had no idea how big the show would be
in an interview with Backstage she said:
‘I didn’t audition for Meredith Grey; I was offered the part by Shonda and the network.’

She thought it would be just ‘another pilot’ that wouldn’t lead anywhere…little did she know the character would stay with her for the next twelve years!
5. The show helped to save a life
The Hollywood Reporter stated that in the most horrifying scenario, Grey’s Anatomy actually saved a mother’s life.

Kandace Seyferth fell unconscious after having a severe asthma attack.
Her friend and 10-year-old daughter Madisyn were able to administer CPR which they learned from watching the show!
6. The scrubs are used in actual hospitals
ABC partnered up with Barco Uniforms in 2006 and began making professional scrubs under the label of Grey’s Anatomy.
You can dress up like the stars!
