NCIS star Pauley Perrette has been spotted looking very different, seven years after quitting the show that made her a huge TV star.
Former NCIS star Pauley Perrette has been spotted in new photos, following her retirement from acting and her life-threatening health issues.
Perrette, who played Abby Sciuto in the television series NCIS from 2003 to 2018, was seen visiting a veterinarian’s office in Los Angeles this week.
It’s been five years since Perrette announced her retirement from acting – and the star later revealed she’d suffered a “massive stroke” a year into her retirement.
“I’ve been through a lot in the last two years. Things that are harder than having a stroke. But I’m still here. And I’m still grateful. And thank you, those of you who are my friends,” she wrote on social media in 2022.

Perrette bid farewell to the show that made her one of TV’s most recognisable characters in 2018, after 15 seasons playing forensic investigator Abby Sciuto.
A year later, she made headlines when she levelled shocking allegations against her former NCIS co-star Mark Harmon, when a fan asked if she’d ever consider returning to the show.
“NO I AM NOT COMING BACK! EVER! (Please stop asking?) I am terrified of Harmon and him attacking me. I have nightmares about it,” she wrote on social media.
Harmon did not publicly respond to his former co-star’s claims.

It wasn’t the first time Perrette has delivered cryptic claims of trouble on the set of NCIS.
