My Take
Pauley Perrette is one of those rare TV actors who became genuinely iconic in a role that could have easily been a throwaway quirk — Abby Sciuto, the forensic scientist on NCIS who dressed like a goth and acted like your most enthusiastic, caffeine-fueled friend. She held that role for 15 years, from 2003 to 2018, and at her peak was literally the most popular actor on American television by some polls. What I love about her is that she never seemed to be coasting — Abby had real warmth and intelligence underneath the pigtails and band tees, and that came from Perrette herself. Born in New Orleans and educated in Georgia, she had a real scrappiness to her offscreen too, speaking out publicly about difficult personal experiences with refreshing bluntness. She retired from acting after NCIS and I respect that she went out on her own terms.
