| 67 | !!Tropes: |
| 68 | * CreatorBacklash: |
| 69 | ** She has a low opinion of ''Film/KnockedUp'', due to what she felt was a one-dimensional portrayal of the genders: women as joyless nagging shrews and men as immature brats who avoid or resent their responsibilities in life. |
| 70 | ** She also famously criticized the writing of her character, Izzy, in ''Series/GreysAnatomy''. It got her a lot of flack from the creator of the show. |
| 71 | * CreatorCouple: She's married to pop singer Josh Kelley (who is also the brother of Music/LadyAntebellum co-lead singer Charles Kelley). |
| 72 | * DyeingForYourArt: Famously blonde, she dyed her hair brown during production for ''Film/OneForTheMoney'', but ultimately wore a brunette wig because her own hair lacked the curliness and volume Literature/StephaniePlum's hair called for. |
| 73 | * HospitalHottie: As surgeon intern Izzie in ''Series/GreysAnatomy''. |
| 74 | * LeslieNielsenSyndrome: She got her start in dramatic TV shows, but once she became a movie star, she became known for her roles in RomanticComedy films. |
| 75 | * StarMakingRole: Her role in ''Series/{{Roswell}}'' put her on the map, while ''Series/GreysAnatomy'' rose her to stardom. |
| 76 | * StatuesqueStunner: She's 5'9 and a successful model. |
| 77 | * TypeCasting: She usually plays a high maintenance woman who, while successful in her career, has a poor love life. |
