The former actress is known and loved for playing Abby Sciuto in NCIS
. Signing on as Abby Sciuto – an eccentric and exceptionally talented forensic scientist – Pauley's off-beat performance cemented her status as a TV icon.
"So with Abby, he wanted to take an alternative-style person with tattoos and make her someone who is happy, totally put together and successful. All the script said about her was: black hair, caffeinated and smart."Asked about the character's signature style, Pauley added: "She's completely unaware that anybody thinks she looks weird. She thinks she looks pretty and never calls herself anything other than happy. And I fight for that.
While Pauley prefers to keep her relationships out of the spotlight, the actress has spoken about her four-year marriage to Canadian-American singer, Coyote Shivers. The pair – who tied the knot in 2000 – had separated by 2004, with Pauley obtaining a restraining order against her ex.In the past, Pauley has referred to Coyote as a compulsive liar who cannot be trusted, and she also accused him of stalking her. Their divorce was finalized in 2006.
While Pauley was able to recover from the stroke, she decided to keep her health struggles a secret. It wasn't until a year later that the actress shared her story on Twitter. "It's 9/2. One year ago I had a massive stroke," she penned on Twitter. "Before that I lost so many beloved family and friends. And daddy. And then Cousin Wayne. Yet still a survivor after this traumatic life I've been given so far. And still so grateful. Still so full of faith.
