Joanna Coles, the editor of American Marie Claire, was featured in
The Independent yesterday and there was interesting tidbit about making Sandra Oh as
the cover girl back in 2007:

Grey's Anatomy star Sandra Oh, one of the first actresses of Asian descent to make the cover, raised both eyebrows and interest. The issue helped lift newsstand sales by 22 per cent.
