Exclusive: Ellen Pompeo on the Snack That Got Her Flagged by TSA—'I Almost Missed the Flight'
Even though she is one of the biggest television stars of our time, Ellen Pompeo is just like us when she travels. The Grey's Anatomy star said she brings the 'usual stuff' when she flies. 'Mints, glasses, water, hand sanitizer, and baby wipes. I have to do the Naomi Campbell thing and wipe down the entire seat,' she told Travel + Leisure earlier this month. And like many of us, she also brings her own snacks. However, on a flight in March, what seemed like an innocent healthy snack landed her in a room with the bomb squad. While going through TSA, she set off the alarms for carrying—of all things—sunflower seeds. 'I had a bag of sunflower seeds, like organic sunflower seeds from Erewhon, so they were probably the most expensive sunflower seeds money can buy. They literally held me for an hour, and they brought the bomb squad in. And I was like, what is happening? Is this a joke? They said it was most likely a chemical on the packaging of these super expensive, fancy, organic, clean sunflower seeds. My protein on the plane!' She asked if she could just throw them away, but they needed her to stay and wait for the bomb squad to assess this unopened bag of sunflower seeds. 'I almost missed the flight. It was really like no one would ever believe this! I was texting my publicist saying, 'I might not get on this plane, and you're never gonna guess why.'' TSA sunflower seed debacle aside, Pompeo does love to travel, even if it throws off her typical morning routine of doing a sauna followed by a cold plunge as she does at her home in Los Angeles. 'I'll try to look for hotels with saunas. Not everybody has a cold plunge. Cold plunges are a relatively, you know, sort of bougie, new thing. I think most of these older hotels don't have it, but a cold shower, I think, does the same.' She also likes a hotel with a good pool. 'I do love to wake up and swim.' She loves the pools at The Greenwich Hotel and Bristol Plaza, both in New York City. Another part of her travel wellness routine is the Youth Activating Melon Serum Advanced Formula from Meaningful Beauty, for which Pompeo is a brand ambassador and a longtime fan. The skincare brand just had its 20th anniversary in 2024. 'That's always been my go-to in this line. And I put the melon serum on first, and then I put oil over it when I travel. I'm really big into serums and oils at this age,' she said. Aisle or window? A single seat. Delta One is my preferred airline. Usually just a single seat, but if I'm sitting with someone, it's usually one of my kids, so I don't care. Whatever they want. What is your plane uniform? You want to be comfy. Planes are so disgusting. I just usually have a hat on, and I don't speak. People recognize my voice, so I try not to talk. I try to use sign language with my kids. The minute I open my mouth, everybody turns. Go-to plane activity? I usually watch a show, either something that I've been dying to watch, which I download on my computer, or I read a book. Also, lots of deep breathing now. Dream trip? I think Japan is definitely on our list. That's one place that they all really are excited to go, and we haven't gone yet. Grey's Anatomy co-star you would travel with? Definitely T.R. [Knight]. Or Katie [Katherine] Heigl, because she'd be like, 'Oh, it's gonna be fine.' I took a helicopter once with [Patrick] Dempsey, from the city out to the Hamptons, and I had only been in a helicopter once before in the south of France. I really don't like helicopters at all. Dempsey was pretty good with me on the helicopter. He calmed me down. But her favorite thing about travel is being with her family. Pompeo has three children—Stella Luna, 15, Sienna May, 10, and Eli Christopher, 8—with husband Chris Ivery. Pompeo said she is a bit of a nervous flier, especially lately, and though she appreciates that pilots are coming out and trying to speak more to passengers about expected turbulence, she still loves having her family there as her main form of support. 'I like to hold my kids' hands when I take off, which is probably a little selfish, and they're probably feeling my anxiety, which probably isn't the best thing to do,' she said.

Michael Buckner/Variety via Getty Images And once they get to the destination, Pompeo is a happy camper. 'I love any kind of trip as long as my kids are with me. I get a little bit anxious when I travel for work without my kids, but when we're all together, we try to do it all and give them a good mix [of types of trips]. It's a privilege to be able to travel with these kids and bring them places, so I try to just have a lot of gratitude for that and show them as much as I can.' The whole family went to Hawaii for Stella's 15th birthday, and when Pompeo was doing press for her new Hulu miniseries Good American Family, she took her daughters to London and Paris. 'If you're lucky enough to have the opportunity to travel with kids, it's the best education there is, because I don't know who's using algebra in their daily lives.' Traveling with family can take more organization, so Pompeo's strategy is to be a minimal packer. She says her husband, who she says is usually the best dressed in the room, often tells her she needs to pack more for trips. 'And I'm like, 'No, no, I want fewer options!' And he's like, 'You need more options.' And so I'm always trying to get him to pack less, and he's always trying to get me to pack more.'

A ‘roller coaster' of perspectives: ‘Good American Family' creator on the show's unique structure and breakout star Imogen Faith Reid
Good American Family, Hulu's gripping limited series about Natalia Grace, a Ukrainian-born orphan who becomes the center of controversy after being adopted — and later abandoned — by her American family, aired its final episode on April 30. The ripped-from-the-headlines drama stars Ellen Pompeo and Mark Duplass as Natalia's adoptive parents, Kristine and Michael Barnett, alongside newcomer Imogen Faith Reid as Natalia, with supporting performances from Christina Hendricks, Sarayu Blue, and Dulé Hill. More from GoldDerby 'Buena Vista Social Club,' 'Death Becomes Her,' 'Maybe Happy Ending' lead 2025 Tony Awards nominations - see the full list 'Genius: MLK/X,' 'Out of My Mind,' and 4 other shows win at the 2025 Television Academy Honors Ruth Negga will submit in lead at the Emmys for 'Presumed Innocent' - see the show's entries in 19 categories "Hulu came to me with the idea of doing a narrative version of this story back in 2020," creator Katie Robbins (who also served as showrunner alongside Sarah Sutherland) tells Gold Derby. "I'd heard vaguely of the story, and it was a little bit in the public consciousness, but not as deeply rooted as it is now. I went on a deep dive expedition reading as much as I could get my hands on — articles, watching interviews — and I was struck by how [your perspective would change] depending on who was being interviewed. It was like a roller coaster. I was constantly changing my mind about what had happened." "Thinking about that gave me the sense that I would start the story in the perspective of the Barnetts, in the ways that this story was actually told in real life, and let that be the baseline," she continues. "Then, disrupt that at a certain point as a way of allowing audiences to grapple with their own biases in this unexpected way." Robbins recently spoke to Gold Derby about the creative decisions behind the show's unique structure, the casting of its breakout star Reid, and the powerful storytelling choices that left viewers questioning their own perspectives. SEE Casting 'Good American Family': Ellen Pompeo, Mark Duplass, Imogen Faith Reid discuss joining Natalia Grace-inspired Hulu series Gold Derby: The series begins with Kristine and Michael's perspective, and we don't learn until later episodes that we're going to see Natalia's perspective as well. Did you want to give that away or surprise audiences? Katie Robbins: It was something we talked a lot about. What is the right balance there? And knowing that different audiences were going to come in with different levels of familiarity with the story. There would be people who were coming in with a very strong perspective of wanting justice for Natalia, and so for them, watching the first four episodes from the perspective of the Barnetts was going to be really painful and triggering. Some people who didn't have the same kind of background, and who would come in really with fresh eyes, and buy into the story that is being told in those first four episodes, have the rug pulled out from under them in Episode 5. On some levels, that's sort of the idea. You really are being forced to question why we believe the things that we believe. Why is it that certain people's stories are more believed than other people's stories? We wanted to try to achieve that, but also give little breadcrumbs for the people who already knew where the story ends in real life, so that they would feel like they were in good hands. It's been fascinating watching people's reactions on social media. I do think that there were a lot of people who leaned in, and were along for the ride in those first four episodes, and were very much afraid of Natalia. Then suddenly were like, "Oh my gosh, I was wrong! Oh my gosh, she's a child! How did this happen? What's going on?" I think it's a really rare thing in this moment in history for people to admit to having misunderstood something, and to admit being wrong about something. And to do that in public on social media particularly, people don't do that. That's been really extraordinary to watch, and has made us feel like, "OK, there was a reason to tell this story in this way." There was a DNA test done that ultimately proved Natalia was a child when these events took place. That's why the show ends where it does. This is a show that plays around with a lot of tropes of the horror genre. We've got Natalia standing at the foot of a bed with a knife, and we've got all of these kind of creepy elements. But at the end of the day, the thing that is the scariest is that, just as you say, there is DNA evidence, there is some kind of biological evidence here saying one thing, but because that narrative was so strongly drawn, that DNA evidence doesn't actually end up mattering in the court of law. You can have a fact, and that fact ceases to have any meaning. That's something that we should all be worried about. Her coming out of that final court case, having that not matter, I think really lands the punch of what we were trying to say. What did it mean to have Ellen Pompeo take the lead as Kristine and also executive produce? I adore Ellen. When she was first suggested to play Kristine, I was like, "OK. Yes, please." My best friend is a doctor because of Ellen Pompeo. I love Grey's Anatomy. In those first four episodes, you want to lean in and start really empathizing — and believing the story that they're telling. We worry about Kristine and Michael. To have somebody who's as beloved an actor as Ellen was such great luck in terms of those first four episodes. Getting to watch her play this role that takes her to these very dark places that we haven't seen her go before was such an amazing opportunity. It's really hard for any actor to go to the kinds of dark places. I think she delivers a performance that's really extraordinary. The entire series hinged on finding the right person to play Natalia Grace. How did you find Imogen Faith Reid? I mean, the whole thing hung on casting this role, both figuratively, but also literally. After I'd written the pilot, Hulu was like, "We'll pick it up, but it's cast contingent on casting Natalia. We have to make sure we can find somebody to play this part." And so we had an incredible casting team that I can't say enough about, who did an international search. They sent us tons of tapes. There were lots of great people, but when we got Imogen's tape we were just like, "OK, the search is over." It was like a star was born. You watch it, and you know immediately how good she is. She's British, she'd never been to the States before, she had never [had a spoken role before]. You would know that because of how excited she is every day to be working. You can feel the magic of it all for her. But otherwise, you would never know that she hasn't been doing this for ages. She would come so prepared, so thoughtful, so emotionally available, and with a real deep desire to do justice to this person. Can you talk about Episode 5, when Natalia is left to fend for herself in the apartment? I had a vision for what I wanted that episode to be from the very beginning. I knew I wanted to end Episode 4 with Kristine and Michael wiping the sweat off their brows, and being like, "Thank God we got the hell out of dodge" — and leaving — and then start Episode 5 on the other side of that door. It would be the first time —whether audiences know it consciously or not — we've ever been in a room alone with Natalia. We've always been in scenes with her and either with Kristine or Michael, because those first four episodes are from their perspective. So it's the first time we're with her. She doesn't have any reason to be acting or pretending to be something that she's not, because she's all alone. I really wanted to land that idea [that she was a child]. I have two daughters, and one of them just turned eight, and so is the same age as Natalia in those episodes. I watched her a lot, and thought about her, and thought about the things that she could or couldn't do. Kids still figure out how to play. It became about — if a child is in a house by themselves, how would they play? They would make faces at canned goods, and they would talk into a fan, and they would eat too much junk food, and watch too much television, and do the kinds of self-soothing that we see Natalia do there. Was it difficult to shift from family drama to a courtroom drama? Yeah. We were very lucky in that we had an insanely good research team who was on the ground in Indiana, was there for the trials, and so we had a lot of those documents. We had court transcripts, we had depositions, we had Facebook messages, we just had all of this extraordinary research to be building on. But yeah, I'd never written anything in a court before, so we had to talk to some lawyers about language and try to figure out how to craft it. topped the Hulu streaming charts. How does it feel when your show is a success? It's scary, it's exciting, it's been incredible. You always want people to see the things that you're trying to create. There are these themes within the show that I really care about: bias, disability, and the elusive nature of truth. Who gets to tell stories? To be able to talk about those themes within a show that people want to watch because it also has an addicting kind of propulsive quality to it — and have people having conversations about why they believed what they believed, and why that's changed is — that was always the dream. It's a real testament to Hulu for wanting to do it, and to our incredible team of actors, and crew, and designers, and writers, and editors, and all the people who put a lot into this — who took a risk in telling a story this way.
