GREY'S Anatomy star Kate Walsh found global fame as Dr Addison Montgomery, a highly relationship-challenged woman caught up in the soapy environment of Seattle's fictional Grace Hospital.
But in real life she has just celebrated the first anniversary of meeting her now husband Alex Young in an unlikely, fast tracked Hollywood romance.
They met a year ago this month at a business meeting. She was a freshly famous GA's actress and he the young hotshot co-president of production for 20th Century Fox Films.
"We were set up for a business meeting by my manager," Walsh, 40, said in Sydney yesterday.
"We really took an instant liking to each other and went out from there, and that was sort of it really."
They moved in a month later, were married in September and have enjoyed a few days in Sydney's rare summer sunshine this week.
"Hang on, what's the date?" she asked before being told.
"Wow, and that was just a little over a year ago (when we met."
Young, four years Walsh's junior, is in Sydney to oversee the start of production for the latest chapter in the X-Men film franchise - Wolverine, starring Hugh Jackman.
"Alex is now president of Fox Film productions and Wolverine is one of his films so he's down here getting the Australian end of things going," she said.
Walsh joined his business trip to promote her upcoming GA spin off, Private Practice, which is based on Montgomery leaving Seattle behind for a new life in Santa Monica.
The series launched to so-so reviews in the US last year, but then built a successful audience over two months before the US writer's strike intervened.
It will air on Seven later this year.
Walsh said her marriage to a Hollywood power broker was one made in heaven, and far less complicated than her character's apparently doomed love life.
"(His job) has a great affect because he works in the business and has a big fat powerful job with insane hours - but that means he understands my plight.
"So it's helpful that we're both in the same business and understand and relate each other - he can relate with the great things I experience and also the struggles."
Need to let people know about it, otherwise what's the point in making it?
