Maggie is such an optimist, and shes such a hard worker, McCreary notes.
Shes determined to be solution-oriented, and find a way to make her mother well no matter what.
The episode proved to be pretty intense material for Pompeos first time directing.
The [potential] death of a mother is so quintessentiallyGreys Anatomy, Pompeo says.
I was really excited to get that episode.
Its a beautiful episode, wonderfully acted by Kelly McCreary and LaTanya Richardson Jackson.
Were just dealing with this one story, but I think its beautiful.
Pompeo and McCreary sought to make Maggies experience as relatable as possible.
