TV uber-producer Shonda Rhimes shook Hollywood by announcing she's leaving her home at ABC for Netflix. Rhimes is the creator of hits such as Scandal and Grey's Anatomy, and she's been working with ABC for more than a decade.

Vanity Fair's Rebecca Keegan has the lowdown on Rhimes, and how it fits into the rapidly changing role network television is playing now, and may play in the future.
