Ellen Pompeo’s Booze Peddling Past
Looking cowgirl casual in a plaid shirt, boots, jeans and aviator Ray Bans, Ellen Pompeo stopped in at her local Starbucks for a morning java over the weekend.
And while the Grey’s Anatomy actress is now living comfortably off of her big TV paycheck, at one time, she had her hands in illegal activity at Fenway Park to earn a little extra cash.
During a recent appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman, Ellen revealed: “When I was 15, one particular man asked me if I wanted to make some money. He said, ‘All you have to do is sell slush outside of Fenway.’ I thought, ‘Now that sounds easy.’ They’d drive me to Fenway, set me up on the street with this nice cart and nice umbrella. And inside the cart, there were two flavors: lemon and watermelon. And then beside the two flavors was slush inside one of those big ketchup bottles. But there wasn’t ketchup in it, Dave. There was Vodka.”
Explaining her alcohol peddling technique, Pomeo continued: “I used to stand around saying, ‘I got the special slush over here. Special slush!’ I’d [usually] give them one pump but if they gave me a few extra bucks, I’d give them two pumps.”
Fortunately, no legal repercussions came of the part-time gig, with Ellen telling: “I could have been in prison but all of the cops that were standing around didn’t seem to mind. They clearly knew what was going on. I was giving them slush too! You know those Boston police. Have you seen The Departed?”
