"Scandal" was fashioned by Shonda Rhimes, who also created "Grey's Anatomy" and "Private Practice". Rhimes got the insight for the show "Scandal" from a real life person called Judy Smith. Smith owns and operates an agency in Washington, DC that provides services to deal with crisis control. It serves individuals, corporations, non-profits and government officials all over the world.    Click the up coming web page right away.


The organization provides services on guidance for PR issues, public affairs and strategic communications. The office is run by Smith, who has appeared on a variety of network news shows to include her observation to distinct topics of concern. Smith also acts as a co-executive producer for the show "Scandal", aiding with information on the crisis management subjects the show revolves around.


Smith has taken care of real life scandals for the last 25 years. She has had to address problems in the political arena like the Monica Lewinsky/Bill Clinton scandal and the Iran Contra cover up. She has also supported well-known individuals like Mike Vic, Jesse Jackson, Jr. and Wesley Snipes.



"Scandal" is exceptional in that no other show has ever been based on such a real life character. It is also unique because the main character is an African American female. It has been over 38 years since the last female African American lead role went off the air. Kerry Washington, who plays the lead role of Olivia Pope, said she had no idea how unique the show was when she got the script for it. She only knew she had never seen it done before.


Kerry Washington, apart from the character of Olivia Pope, is politically involved, as well. She believes it is her duty as an American citizen to get involved and remain involved. She also feels participation, from her or others, is an encouragement for those that are not.    Click through the next website now.
