Famed actress Ellen Pompeo is in the thick of filming for her next big role.
At the age of 54, she appeared disheveled, exiting a minivan with children actors who portray her kids on-screen, as they filmed gripping moments for Orphan—a new limited series by streaming service Hulu. The shoot took place on Friday morning (May 3) amidst the bustling streets of Los Angeles.
As part of the sequence, Ellen‘s on-screen spouse played by Mark Duplass, hurried to the crash site to ensure the safety of the family.
The script of Orphan is rooted in a real-life narrative. The plot centers on “a Midwestern couple who adopt a seemingly 8-year-old girl afflicted with a rare form of dwarfism. As they integrate her into their family, which includes three biological children, suspicion arises concerning the girl’s true identity. The story escalates into a vortex of media scrutiny, legal confrontations, and an internal struggle within their marriage.” The storyline details come from an article in Variety.
In the latter part of 2022, news surfaced that Ellen would be scaling back her presence on Grey’s Anatomy to prioritize her new role in this Hulu original.
Reflecting on her past roles, Ellen shared insights in a previous interview on her inability to revisit early episodes of Grey’s with her offspring.
