**Ellen Pompeo Reveals Cut Role in “Eternal Sunshine,” Blames Kate Winslet**

**New York, NY -** Actress Ellen Pompeo revealed she was cut from the critically acclaimed 2004 film “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” during a Tribeca Festival Storytellers event on Saturday, June 14th. Speaking with Katie Couric, the “Grey’s Anatomy” star joked that her scenes were removed because Kate Winslet, one of the film’s leads, was simply too good. “You have Kate Winslet, you definitely don’t need me,” Pompeo quipped.

Pompeo recounted her brief film career, which includes roles in “Old School” and “Catch Me if You Can,” and mentioned “Eternal Sunshine,” a film she has never seen.

Pompeo also appeared at the Tribeca event sporting a black boot, explaining to Couric that she injured her foot by jumping out of bed too quickly. The actress admitted that this was not the first time she had injured herself in a similar fashion, recounting a previous incident during the second season of “Grey’s Anatomy” when she rushed out of bed thinking she had overslept.

Pompeo is best known for her role as Meredith Grey on the long-running medical drama “Grey’s Anatomy.”
