Tony Winner Sara Ramirez Exits ABC's GREY'S ANATOMY After 10 Seasons

On last night's GREY'S ANATOMY on ABC, Sara Ramirez, who has portrayed orthopedic surgeon Dr. Callie Torres for the past ten years, made her exit from the long-running series. The actress later turned to Twitter to confirm that she has left the show:

Ramirez joined the show in 2006 after appearing in the Broadway smash-hit Monty Python's Spamalot as Lady of the Lake, for which she earned both a Tony Award for Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical, and an Outer Critics Award for Outstanding Featured Actress in a Musical. Ramirez graduated from the Juilliard Drama School. Shortly after graduation, she made her Broadway debut starring in Paul Simon's The Capeman. Following that, she starred on Broadway in Fascinating Rhythm and A Class Act, as well as Off Broadway in The Vagina Monologues. For the past 3 seasons, Sara has been THE VOICE of 'Queen Miranda' in the Disney Channel animated series, "Sofia The First."

She has also appeared on NYPD Blue, Law & Order: SVU, Third Watch, and Spin City, in addition to several pilots. In Spring 2011, Ramirez captured a whole new audience when she performed the most prominent songs on the special music event episode of "Grey's Anatomy" and released her own EP on iTunes.
