‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Pays Tribute To Late Disney TV Executive Stephanie Leifer In Season 21 Premiere
The Season 21 premiere of ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy ended with a card dedicating the episode to Stephanie Leifer. While the name may not be recognizable to the average Grey’s fan, the tribute is deeply meaningful to those who have worked on the show at any point of its run.
Leifer, who died in June of cancer at the age of 56, was a beloved programming executive who had worked a combined 28 years at ABC and its sister studio before leaving the company in 2022. She oversaw Grey’s Anatomy as a current executive at the network and then at ABC Signature (fka ABC Studios), which produces the hit medical drama.
