Ellen Pompeo

Ellen Pompeo is an actress whose professional biography traditionally arouses not only admiration of the audience, but also some envy of colleagues. The fact is that Ellen got a role in one of the most popular TV series that has won fans all over the world - Grey's Anatomy. In addition, Ellen Pompeo also has many equally bright and talented works in cinema.

The future actress was born in the small town of Everett (Massachusetts). Ellen Pompeo's roots go back to Ireland and Italy. The girl's parents were quite devout, because from early childhood Ellen was instructed to follow strict rules and follow Catholic traditions.

When Ellen was barely four years old, a misfortune happened in the family: the girl's mother died without calculating the dosage of the painkiller. Ellen Pompeo's father did not remain alone for long. Soon the man married again, and the girl had to get used to life with her stepmother.

The family did not live well, and already as a teenager, Ellen Pompeo began to earn money in a nearby bar for a small salary in order to burden her father and his new wife as little as possible. Also, the girl did not leave the dreams of an independent life, therefore, having saved up for a ticket, Ellen went to conquer New York.

At first, the girl continued to work as a waitress, but soon an employee of one advertising agency drew attention to the bright and attractive Ellen. The girl was offered to try her hand at the screen, acting in commercials.

This meeting turned out to be fateful: of course, shooting in advertising did not bring fame to Ellen Pompeo, but gave the girl experience in the frame, as well as useful acquaintances. Thanks to this, in 1996, the actress received her first film role. It is about Ellen's debut appearance in the frames of the series "Law & Order". This role, although it turned out to be episodic, brought Ellen one step closer to her cherished dream.

After her first work in the cinema, Ellen Pompeo again returned to rare filming in advertising and the starched apron of the waitress. The girl spent a couple of years thinking and waiting for new serious projects, and then decided to act independently and in 2001 she moved to Los Angeles. At first, Ellen had a hard time - occasional part-time jobs and constant castings almost shook the girl's faith in herself.

And in 2002 all the efforts of the actress were rewarded: Ellen was invited to the shooting of the film directed by Brad Silberling "Moonlight Mile". Here Ellen Pompeo's partners on the set were Jake Gyllenhaal, Dustin Hoffman, Holly Hunter. This picture did not cause a stir in the box office, but attracted the attention of directors to Ellen, who perfectly fitted into the image of the heroine.

Soon the filmography of the actress was replenished with one more work. This time, Ellen was lucky enough to play in Steven Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can. The role of Ellen Pompeo here turned out to be quite modest, but the girl managed to work with acting professionals Jennifer Garner, Leonardo DiCaprio, Christopher Walken.

A year later, in 2003, Ellen Pompeo appeared in Mark Stephen Johnson's film Daredevil. This film, which tells the story of the adventures of the blind superhero Matt Murdoch - Daredevil (a character in Marvel comics), won flattering reviews from film critics. The main role in the film was played by Ben Affleck. Ellen Pompeo got the image of Karen Page, Matt Murdoch's lover. The film also stars actors Michael Clarke Duncan, Colin Farrell, Jon Favreau.

Another film that was released in 2003 was Todd Phillips' youth comedy "Old School", where Ellen Pompeo appeared in the frame with Luke Wilson, Juliet Lewis, Vince Vaughn.

The picture became another success of the actress, whose fees, as well as fame, gradually increased. However, the real popularity came to Ellen Pompeo a year later.

In 2004, the actress played in two cult TV series at once. In Friends, Ellen got a cameo role, but in the series Grey's Anatomy (released in 2005), Pompeo became one of the main characters, around whose career and personal life the plot twists and turns.

Grey's Anatomy is centered around the workers at Seattle Grace Hospital, who save the lives of patients, and in their free time try to arrange their own.

Project director Shonda Rhimes managed to assemble a stellar cast of actors. Ellen Pompeo (who played the role of trainee Meredith Gray) partners with Sandra Oh, Patrick Dempsey, Isaiah Washington. For her role in Grey's Anatomy, the actress has received many awards, including the coveted Golden Globe for Best Actress (2007). Over the years, Ellen Pompeo has changed along with the heroine, forcing viewers to empathize with what is happening on the screen.

In 2015, viewers were pleased with the appearance of their favorite actress in Taylor Swift's video for the song "Bad Blood". Together with her, 16 more stars appeared in the video, including Selena Gomez, Cindy Crawford, Jessica Alba. According to the idea of ​​the singer, all the recognized beauties of show business were supposed to demonstrate that women are by no means the weaker sex. And they did it perfectly - the clip turned out to be exciting and spectacular.

Ellen Pompeo's personal life was happy. The husband of the beautiful actress, music producer Chris Ivery, supports his wife in everything. Chris is aware of the intricacies of work in show business, therefore he is sympathetic to the employment of his beloved, constant rehearsals and filming.

Ellen and Chris got married in 2007, but the couple's romance began four years earlier. After checking their own feelings, the young people decided to get married. Ellen Pompeo's wedding was modest - the couple did not want to draw attention to their personal holiday. It is interesting that the appearance of the bride turned out to be very original: Ellen appeared before the groom in a black dress from the fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent.

Some time later, Ellen realized that she was pregnant. Soon, the actress gave her husband her first child - daughter Stella Luna Ivery. A few years later, Ellen Pompeo and Chris Ivery became parents for the second time. True, by resorting to the help of a surrogate mother. The second child also became a daughter, who received the name Sienna Mae Ivery. And two years later, in 2016, the couple had a son - Eli Christopher Ivery. The surrogate mother also carried the boy out.

This fact has caused a lot of rumors in the media. People discussed the reasons why the actress did not have children on her own. There were versions about the woman's addiction to alcohol, as well as the fact that Pompeo is sick with anorexia. Ellen herself chose not to comment on such speculations in an interview. At every opportunity, the actress emphasizes that she is happy with her personal life and makes every effort to make her family home cozy and happy.

In 2018, photos of Ellen Pompeo reappeared on the pages of news publications, as well as on Instagram, Twitter and other social networks. This time, the reason for the publications was not just another gossip about the plastic of the face, which the actress allegedly suffered, but the new screen work of Ellen - "Fire Station 19".

This series became another spin-off of Grey's Anatomy, but unlike the main project, the plot is centered on the fire department. Here Ellen played the familiar role of Meredith Gray. The main characters went to the actors Jason Winston George, Gray Damon, Daniel Savre.

The pilot series of the project drew positive reviews from both critics and viewers, so that "Fire Station 19" has every chance of catching up with Grey's Anatomy in popularity. It is known that the filming of the second season of the series has already begun.
