When we think of Pompeo, we think of one show: “Grey’s Anatomy,” for which she’s starred for all 16 seasons, is signed for a 17th and has helped make it TV’s longest-running medical drama. And while she has branched out within the series — as producer and occasional director — Pompeo has remained the show’s face, and it’s paid off. She’s now the third-highest-paid actress on TV, says Forbes, at $23.5 million annually. Plus, she gets a cut of the backend and a producer fee on “Grey’s” spinoff “Station 19,” on which she’s guested. Still, while those moves are smart indeed, they haven’t quite packed the other kind of prize: She landed a single Golden Globe nomination back in 2007 and no Emmys thus far.
