Shonda Rhimes has surrounded herself with amazing talent – literally.
Standing among the casts of her three hit ABC dramas – Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, and How to Get Away with Murder – the executive producer smiled and struck a pose for a photo exclusively shot in collaboration with Entertainment Weekly, Essence and PEOPLE in the Jewel Suite at the New York Palace hotel on May 12.
"Shonda invites powerful, intelligent women to be her leads," Scandal's Kerry Washington says of her show's creator and executive producer.
"Her identity as a woman – and the fact that she is a mother – lends to an understanding of people's range of experiences in life," Washington adds of Rhimes' ability to helm Shondaland, the production company behind ABC's entire "Thank God It's Thursday" lineup.
HTGAWM's Viola Davis, for one, is in awe of Rhimes' ability to multitask.
"There is a calmness that she exudes," says Davis. "Even if internally that's not what's going on."
