Ellen Pompeo on Going From Grey’s Anatomy to Natalia Grace’s Story (Exclusive)

Ellen Pompeo chats with ET’s Denny Directo about going from ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ to ‘Good American Family,’ which debuts March 19 with a two-episode premiere on Hulu. The actress credits Shonda Rhimes for the medical drama reaching its 20-year milestone, as Ellen explains why the time was right to pause Meredith Grey’s journey to produce and star in Natalia Grace’s story. Ellen calls playing Natalia’s adoptive mother, Kristine Barnett, both a ‘dream’ and a ‘nightmare,’ amid the show’s daunting task of portraying multiple perspectives surrounding the true crime saga.
