From plane crashes to mass shootings to live bombs, the long-running medical drama Grey's Anatomy has seen its fair share of crazy storylines, but who knew that things behind-the-scenes rivaled what fans were seeing onscreen? A new Peacock docuseries delves into the wild true story of Grey's Anatomy writer Elisabeth Finch, who fabricated her life story for years while she worked on the hit ABC drama.
Premiering tomorrow, October 15, on the streamer, "Anatomy of Lies reveals the rise and fall of Grey’s Anatomy star writer Elisabeth Finch, whose jaw-dropping lies fooled Hollywood for years, and became fodder for many high-profile episodes of Grey’s,” a synopsis explains. Among the deceptions whipped up by the TV writer, who had also worked on series like True Blood, No Ordinary Family and The Vampire Diaries, were that she had been diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer—she even wrote essays about her personal medical struggles in publications like Elle and The Hollywood Reporter—had lost a close friend in a mass shooting and had been abused by her own brother.
