5 Reasons To Thank Shondra Rhimes

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at American chapter.

Shondra Rhimes is an American screenwriter, director and producer. We first feel in love with this woman when “Grey’s Anatomy” came out. She was the creator, head writer and executive producer. TIME Magazine named Rhimes one of its “100 People Who Helped Save The World”. Rhimes latest shows are “Scandal” and “How to Get Away with Murder”.

1. She introduced us to the addictive hospital drama “Grey’s Anatomy”

Rhimes is the creator, executive producer and writer for Grey’s Anatomy.

Thanks to Shondra Rhimes and her love for strong female roles, Kerry Washington is the lead actress in “Scandal“.

2. She has fulfilled your American political thriller mystery drama needs with “Scandal”.

“Scandal” is one of the most talked about TV shows. It is well into the fourth season and we still cannot get enough! Plus, Rhimes brought some attention to AU because the show is in part written about an American University graduate, Judy Smith.
