StyleCaster reported that Wilson won a Golden Globe for the role in 2007 and earned $125,000 per episode that year — a number that number has undoubtedly risen this decade. Wilson was also nominated for an Emmy for her role as Dr. Bailey and has directed episodes of the show, according to the Grey’s Anatomy Universe wiki on Fandom.
Wilson got her start in television in 1989, guest starring on “The Cosby Show.” But that wasn’t her first acting role. She started performing on stage in musicals with Theatre Under the Stars in Houston at age five. She went on to attend Houston’s High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, and then earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in drama from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts.
