Her TV doctor alter ego helps save lives on a daily basis, and Grey's Anatomy star Sandra Oh does her part to save something else important -- Earth -- in real life. Talk about leading by example!
Sandra was photographed this week pulling up to her house in a hybrid Prius. Notice she's taking out not only the trash, but the recycling bins! One could certainly say she's doing her part!

As three female interns on Grey's Anatomy, Meredith, Izzie and Cristina are very tight knit, despite obvious personality differences. Here's a look at the trio of actresses to play them -- Ellen Pompeo, Katherine Heigl and Sandra Oh -- who were all on hand at last night's Emmy Awards. They all look, and are, terrific, as far as the Insider is concerned. But whose outfit is your favorite? Click to enlarge!
Yes, we added a bonus picture of Patrick Dempsey. You're welcome.
The power of celebrity is great, and several notable ones are hoping to lend their star status for an important cause at the 2006 International AIDS conference in Toronto this week, reports the Toronto Star.
Emmy-nominated Grey's Anatomy star Sandra Oh, a Canada native, will be on hand, along with some pretty exclusive company, namely former President Bill Clinton and the world's biggest philanthropists, Bill and Melinda Gates.
More than 30,000 scientists and academics, activists and others have come together at the global conference, but the celebrity musicians, actors, and politicians will influence how the message gets out.
Just think of Angelina Jolie's adoption of an African AIDS orphan, or how she and Brad Pitt have already given millions to that continent's health initiatives. It's proof that darkly serious issues such as AIDS transcend pop culture because ordinary people can link celebrity and substance.
In addition to delighting millions of fans as the sarcastic, yet endearing Dr. Cristina Yang on Grey's Anatomy, Sandra Oh continues to build her acting resume on the big screen and on stage. Starting next month, the Canadian actress will be starring in the Broadway play Satellites at the Public Martinson’s Theater, according to Broadway.com.
The play, written by Diana Son and debuting June 18, centers around an interracial couple, Nina (Oh) and Miles, who are new parents moving into a transforming neighborhood in Brooklyn. With a new house, a new baby, and a constant struggle to make ends meet, they're tested by old friends, strangers and difficult life decisions.
Stage veterans Kevin Carroll (who plays Miles), Johanna Day, Ron Cephas Jones, Satya Lee, and Clarke Thorell have also been cast. Carroll has previously appeared in the plays Take Me Out and Stop Kiss alongside Oh -- the latter was also written by Son. Satellites is directed by Michael Greif, and will begin previews May 30.
Sandra Oh was honored by a leading Asian-American theater group, according to today's San Jose Mercury-News. The East West Players have selected Oh to receive their Visionary Award, which is presented to artists who have raised the visibility of
the Asian Pacific American community through film, television and theater. The award was presented at a dinner Monday night.
Oh plays the technically proficient, emotionally challenged and thoroughly hilarious surgical intern Cristina Yang on Grey's Anatomy. Having won the 2006 Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress in a TV drama, as well as the Screen Actors Guild's award for Best Female Actress, she is the most decorated of the show's stellar and diverse cast.
