Ellen Pompeo Starts the Day Sending Emails From the Sauna
Ellen Pompeo said that during her two-decade tenure on 'Grey's Anatomy,' she hadn't had many other acting opportunities come her way.
'Being on 'Grey's' for so long has had its own set of challenges, and being typecast as that character was definitely one of them—a bed that I made, so I was happy to lie in it,' said Pompeo, 55, of playing the Shondaland medical drama's protagonist. She worried other roles would feel like 'Meredith Grey in a rom-com.'

‘Grey's Anatomy' Star Eric Dane Tears Up in First Interview Since Announcing ALS Diagnosis
Eric Dane—who plays Cal Jacobs on Euphoria—announced in April that he has been diagnosed with ALS. On June 12, a teaser clip from a forthcoming Good Morning America interview with Diane Sawyer dropped, where Dane emotionally speaks about his diagnosis in his first sit-down interview since revealing the news. 'I don't think this is the end of my story,' the Grey's Anatomy star said in the Dane, star of Euphoria and Grey's Anatomy, is speaking out in his first interview since receiving a 'crushing' ALS diagnosis earlier this year. Dane fought back tears while speaking to Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America about his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) diagnosis in April. (The disease is also commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease.) 'I wake up every day and I'm immediately reminded that this is happening,' he said in a teaser clip shared for the interview on June 12 (via Page Six). To this, Sawyer said, 'It's not a dream,' which Dane repeated back to her. 'I don't think this is the end of my story,' he continued. 'I don't feel like this is the end of me.' Dane revealed his diagnosis back in April, just weeks after he and wife Rebecca Gayheart called off their divorce. Dane's full Good Morning America interview is slated to air on June 16. The couple share two children, and Gayheart filed for divorce back in February 2018; she filed documents to have the petition dismissed in March 2025. In a statement to People in April, Dane said of his ALS diagnosis, 'I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter.' He also requested privacy as they figured out how to move through this next stage of their lives. He also shared that he will reprise his role of Cal Jacobs for season 3 of Euphoria, which began filming not long after Dane announced his diagnosis. ALS is a rare degenerative disease that has no cure; according to the Muscular Dystrophy Association, people typically live three to five years after diagnosis, although some patients can live decades.
