6. Ellen Pompeo
Ellen Pompeo got into acting by a stroke of good luck. The actress had spent two years of her life working as a cocktail waitress in a Miami bar, but one day, everything changed. A casting director stopped in for a cocktail and noticed that the waitress had some potential. Pompeo was instantly signed and quit her job to pursue her acting career in New York City. By 2002, she had already made appearances in movies such a Catch Me If You Can and Moonlight Mile. Although Pompeo has acted in a good amount of movies, the role that she is most known for is the one of Meredith Grey on the hit ABC’s show Grey’s Anatomy, which lasted 12 seasons.
