‘Anatomy of Lies’ Team on How the ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Cancer Scammer Elisabeth Finch Got Away With It
The directors of 'Anatomy of Lies' — Peacock's docuseries about 'Grey's Anatomy' cancer scammer Elisabeth Finch — talk about how she fooled the world.
An aspiring writer with experience on shows like “True Blood” and “The Vampire Diaries,” Finch desperately wanted a job writing for her favorite series, “Grey’s Anatomy.” But it wasn’t until she published articles about her devastating battle with a rare form of bone cancer known as chondrosarcoma that her work was brought to Shonda Rhimes, and she got her wish. Finch was hired in 2014 and eventually rose to the rank of co-executive producer, making a notable mark on the show’s narrative by infusing her writing with the harrowing details and heroic resiliency of her own battle with cancer. In addition to Catherine Avery’s cancer and Jo Wilson’s PTSD, the series also makes the case that the messy exit of original cast member Justin Chambers got a dose of Finch’s fables as well.
