That was “Grey’s Anatomy,” and Allen appeared in six episodes of the medical drama.

Brie has shown me a sense of durability and self-dignity that I appreciate so much.

She’s got strong boundaries and is an advocate for herself.

She said, “I’m with her now.

It’s been so satisfying for a million reasons.

She and her friend and collaborator Ian Merrigan make up the musical twosome Socks and Chimes.

The band formed after Allen’s brother passed away, and she had trouble sleeping.

She began learning to play the ukulele and writing songs.

“It was highly therapeutic for me,” Allen revealed.

Allen and Merrigan began collaborating and released the album “I Love You Overall” in 2011.
