In her first role since 'Grey’s Anatomy', she takes on a controversial real-life figure in a limited series: “I have a lot to prove here.”
When the script for Good American Family came to Ellen Pompeo , she wasn’t sure about it. Based on a true story, the limited series follows a Midwestern couple who adopt a Ukrainian child who has a rare form of dwarfism. But over time, they become suspicious that she is not a child at all and are concerned their lives are in danger. “I just thought taking this on would be a land mine,” Pompeo, the longtime star of Grey’s Anatomy, tells Vanity Fair.
“Why would anybody believe that I could do anything other than play Meredith Grey, myself included?” Natalia Grace’s story has been recently told in the docuseries The Curious Case of Natalia Grace, which began airing in 2023. But Pompeo chose to avoid watching the show as she prepared to play Kristine, instead seeking to understand her as a mother. Before adopting Natalia, Kristine was known for helping her autistic son thrive, despite doctors doubting it was possible.
