1. While you may know her as Mellie Grant onScandal, Bells actually had a number of fab roles before that. She was the fierce & bossass Dr. Grace Miller on Scrubs…
aka the person who got the constantly brooding Aaron Hotchner to finally loosen up a bit.
3. And as Candace Ford on Castle.
aka the pageant coordinator dealing with a dead body and stuff.
5. And now she completely SLAYS on Scandal as FLOTUS…
That glare tho.
8. She plays one half of what is (was?) arguably the best romantic relationship on the show.
I’m sorry, Olitz who? This romance is hawwwwt.
9. She is also completely presh with Jon Tenney (aka the stud who plays Andrew) IRL.
Just two really attractive people chilling by a fire.
11. And let’s be real, drunk Mellie is kinda the best thing to ever happen.
12. BY is also ~GORGEOUS.~
Like, really stunning.
13. And she’s incredibly smart.
Did you know that she graduated from Yale, where she was initially a Physics major, and Oxford?
14. She could not be any cuter in interviews/press events if she tried.
Giving a shout-out to her peeps.
17. And she can sing like nobody’s business.
She got her start on Broadway and more recently, she sang the National Anthem at a Dodgers game. Is there anything she can’t do? As evidenced by the above video, the answer is clearly NOPE.
19. …and basically just seems like she’d be a blast to hang out with, tbh.
21. Her reaction to finding out she was nominated for a Critics’ Choice Award was adorable.
Or should I say adoraBELLS? *ba dum tss*
22. As was her reaction when she found out THAT SHE WON…
SO well deserved. Now let’s get that Emmy nomination next year, amirite.
24. She may just be the most precious person on Twitter.
Night night, #gladiators. I ship you so hard. :-))) (Did I say that right? Is that right? I mean I love you.) :-} Xxx
#Gladiators I love you. Just had you on my mind & wanted to let you know. Hope everybody’s having a most excellent day.
25. And she’s undoubtedly the best part of theScandal gag reels.
ABC

ABC
That’s because she curses like A CHAMP…and we love her for it.
26. And watching her portray a Mellie who straight up did not GIVE A FUCK was one of the best parts of the Scandal Season 4 premiere.
