Anatomy of Lies S1
Grey’s Anatomy writer and co-executive producer Elisabeth Finch wowed Hollywood with her extraordinary life story, but one woman’s quest to discover the truth revealed a jaw-dropping web of lies.
Building on the shocking Vanity Fair exclusive, Anatomy of Lies is a three-part documentary series that gives audiences unique insight into a Hollywood dream that was simply too good to be true, and a scandal that engulfed one of the biggest and most beloved television shows of the past 20 years.
Anatomy of Lies has a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score. As Common Sense Media says, “For fans of Grey's Anatomy, it's particularly fascinating to see how Finch used her fabricated persona to create episodes inspired by the real stories of the people she manipulated. A story as dramatic and shocking as anything Finch wrote for TV, viewers will be left stunned by the real-life impact of her deceit and the devastating consequences it had on those around her.”
