NCIS’ Pauley Perrette, who played Abby Sciuto in the CBS crime drama, recently took to social media to share a life update with her Instagram followers. The former actress retired from the entertainment scene in 2020, and has since lived a more private life with fewer glimpses of what she is up to.
She shared a selfie which was an “accidental” snap showing off her tattooed arm. Fans took to the comments complimenting her and asking about her return to Hollywood, particularly to the newly announced Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David spinoff series.

A fan hoped Abby would “be joining Tiva in the Tony & Ziva Spinoff,” while another simply teased Pauley about the show of nature in the background. “This Canadian is happy to see leaves on the trees in your part of the woods…. lol happy day to you Pauley,” they gushed. “On a lovely hike through nature, I see, sweet friend,” someone else exclaimed.

Some fans were thankful for Pauley’s time on NCIS, including a user who claimed rerunning the show helped them grieve his mother’s death. “We had watched NCIS together. Now I watch it in honor of her,” they said. “It’s good to see your arm I love the trees and you I hope to talk to again sometime we send hugs from Elberta Alabama,” another kind follower penned.

Pauley has been enjoying time away from sets and focusing on activism as well as BTS work on documentaries spotlighting humanitarian and civil rights issues and the LGBTQ+ community. Last December, she released a short film titled Ribbons of Love which “documents the 30-year history of the red AIDS ribbons on the tower of Hollywood United Methodist Church, located two blocks from the Hollywood Walk of Fame.”

Pauley showcased how in 1993, the church “welcomed the LGBTQ+ community” by putting up “two large red ribbons of love to proclaim that all are welcome” at a time when salons, barbershops, schools, and other religious houses “were closing their doors” to queer folks “for fear of catching AIDS.” The 15-minute clip was narrated by Pauley and included interviews from those behind the idea.
