And Ellen and I were texting at all hours of the night, like, who knows, I think this person.
So, also watching the crew react, and [producer] Linda Klein, who’s been there from the beginning, we got Norman back, who was our amazing hair guy from the beginning [Norman T. Leavitt was makeup department head on ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy for the first 14 seasons].
I was like a crazy person with this secret.
I put the name ‘Ellis Grey’ in the script that we read at the table, and I had Meredith say “Mom” at the table, so we got there on the day, and no one had been told what was happening.
