Patrick Dempsey Estimated off-set earnings: $9.8 million Success may have come late for this 42-year-old former child juggler, but it was certainly worth the wait. Of all the Grey’s Anatomy stars, Dempsey has done the most commercial work. He is currently the face of Serengeti Eyewear and Versace Man, and recently signed a deal with Avon to launch his own signature cologne, Patrick Dempsey Unscripted. Estimated initial earnings: $2.35 million. An avid auto racer, Dempsey signed a million-dollar deal with Amgen to sponsor his team. He has also earned approximately $400,000 doing voice-overs for Mazda and State Farm commercials, in 2006 and 2008, respectively. In 2006, Dempsey and on-screen love Ellen Pompeo earned about $500,000 each for a television and print holiday campaign for women’s apparel retailer New York & Co. And although this earned him at most 10 grand, Dempsey was one of many celebrities who did a spot in 2007 introducing Monday Night Football for ESPN. Not one to shy away from the big screen, Dempsey has starred in three major motion pictures since the show began: Made of Honor in 2008 (for which he earned an estimated $4 million) and Enchanted ($750,000 to $1 million) and Freedom Writers ($500,000) in 2007.

'Grey's Anatomy' delivers health message to viewers: study BY RICHARD HUFF DAILY NEWS TV EDITOR Updated Tuesday, September 16th 2008, 2:50 PM Viewers of "Grey's Anatomy" are picking up on more than who is sleeping with whom. Indeed, the hit hospital drama, best known for showing sizzling romances rather than medical prowess, proved it could deliver a health message to viewers, according to a new survey from the Kaiser Family Foundation. The organization worked with the writers of the ABC drama to embed a health message into a storyline and then queried viewers about the topic before and after the show aired. Guess what? They remembered. The storyline revolved around an HIV positive pregnant woman, who, during the show, learned that with the proper treatment she has a 98% chance of having a healthy baby. One week after the show aired, 61% of the people who watched the program knew the woman's chances. By six weeks out, the number of people who correctly answered 98% had fallen to 45%. The Kaiser Family Foundation estimated that given "Grey's" audience, about 8 million people understood the correct information about mother-to-child HIV transmission. Researchers also found 29% of regular viewers of the drama say they believe the medical information is "very" accurate, while 58% said it's "somewhat" accurate. About 45% said they learned something new about health from "Grey's Anatomy." "To me, it just really hammers home the incredible power television has to communicate," said Victoria Rideout, vice president and director of The Program for the Study of Media and Health at Kaiser. "It just reinforces the fact that ... the messages on TV matter." Elsewhere, in a separate study conducted by the Foundation and the USC Annenberg Norman Lear, researchers found in an analysis of three seasons - 2004-2006 - of top-ten shows, six out of ten episodes had at least one health storyline. No surprise, the most common storyline involved an unusual illness.
