Bringing Experience, Fun to ShondaLand

摘要

Betsy beers spent lots of time as a child plopped in front of the television set. "Television was probably my third parent," says Beers, executive producer of the Shonda Rhimes series Grey's Anatomy, Scandal and the upcoming How to Get Away With Murder. Beers' dad, Nate, a theater talent agent, would sit with her and teach her how to read and identify actors. She also loved learning the TV schedule and knowing what was on every night. "I guess I was an older person in a tiny person's body," Beers says. "But I thought all of that was incredibly interesting, and really fun to watch." Beers' childhood prepared her for life as an executive producer and as a partner at Shonda Rhimes' production shingle, ShondaLand. "We got along immediately," Rhimes says of Beers.
