Pop culture impact: Since Grey’s 2005 premiere, Shonda Rhimes has captivated audiences by showcasing a true depiction of humanity. With respect to the latter, Rhimes remains boldly unapologetic. “I’m normalizing TV,” she has famously said. “I’m making TV look like the world looks.”

Life offset: The mom of three daughters is also a New York Times best-selling author. The most rewarding part? “Getting to do a job that I love and being paid for it – and going home happy every day,” she says.
