A devastating cancer diagnosis. A suicide in the family. The personal trauma of cleaning up a friend’s dead body. The stories were true—they just didn’t happen to the person who claimed them as her own.

Read Part 2 of this story on how Elisabeth Finch twisted her wife Jennifer Beyer’s traumatic past into her own false narrative.

Grey’s was diverse before its time, and suffused with a kind of empathy that made Finch—“the only person who identified as a person with a disability,” as she wrote in The Hollywood Reporter—a perfect fit. Unlike at The Vampire Diaries, here she had a presence. She excelled in the area of personal confession, laying her pain bare, often with an appealing, familiar humor. Other times, she’d laugh at something tragic—laughed so hard until she cried. People figured it was a coping mechanism.
