Ellen Pompeo - “Allure” October 2008

Grey’s Anatomy lead actress Ellen Pompeo shines on the October 2008 cover of Allure, which was shot in New York City by Michael Thompson. Here is a preview of her interview:

On catching the acting bug as a child while watching the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall: “Afterward, I stood up and said, ‘That’s what I want to be. They’re alive. That’s what I want to do.’ … [But] I was very sad and introverted as a child, and I would never, ever have had the confidence or the extroverted nature to be in a school play.”

On being was surprised at Grey’s Anatomy’s popularity: “When I did the pilot, I thought, ‘I can’t stand medical shows. This will never get on.’”

On fashion being one of her passions: “Fashion is an art form like any other. All artists love all art. Anything creative—cooking, literature, art—I love it all.”

On having one piece of advice for Meredith: “Just move on. There are plenty of fish in the sea.”
