These are new photos of Pauley Perrette, one of the stars of NCIS, at last night’s Patterns for Paws event in West Hollywood. Do you watch NCIS? I watch NCIS. I watch the marathons on USA, and I watch the new episodes on CBS. It’s the only CBS show I watch, because whenever I switch over to CBS, I feel like I’ve just added 20 years to my age. Oh, well. I’m an old fart, and I love NCIS. I love Mark Harmon, I love Cote de Pablo, and I especially love Pauley “Abby” Perrette. You wouldn’t think that Pauley, with her dyed jet-black hair, thick bangs, dozens of tattoos, piercings and God knows what else would be so popular. But the character she plays is so appealing, and Pauley herself seems like such a lovely woman, people just fall for her. EVERYBODY loves her. Literally:
For anyone who can’t get enough of those feisty naval investigators, this information should not come as a surprise: The most popular actor in primetime right now is NCIS’ Pauley Perrette!
That’s according to the latest Q Ratings, a survey taken a few times a year to judge who are the most popular stars, based on audience awareness. In fact, NCIS actors occupy most of the top slots, save Nathan Fillion, the star of ABC’s Castle. The geek god is ranked No. 6.
So who’s after No. 1? Next up is Cote de Pablo, who plays Ziva on the CBS drama. No. 3 is Jim Parsons of The Big Bang Theory, No. 4 is NCIS lead Mark Harmon, No. 5 is David McCallum (Dr. Donald Mallard), and No. 7 is Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo, aka Michael Weatherly.
Q ratings come in handy when networks want to gauge whether an actor is worth the time (and money) to cast and/or keep on the payroll. So expect at least 20 more seasons of NCIS. Kidding! (We think).

Would you like to have your mind blown? Pauley is 42 years old. 42!!! I think the Abby character is supposed to be about 30, and even then, Pauley sometimes seems too “young”. She has such a great face, and she’s one of the rare women who looks really great with bangs. And she looks great with puppies too:

LOL!It always makes me happy when NCIS gets good press!I love that show,had my husband download me like 7 seasons!!! And I adore Abby! I love that shes aliitle strange and totally herself and yet still wholesome somehow!And who doesn’t love puppies?! 🙂
She’s WHAT?! 42?! Wow. Looks really younger than that, she has truly great skin. And she’s a good, talented actress. And she seems lovely and funny. And…is she married?
Forty Two?! Wow, she looks so much younger! She’s the opposite of Lilo!
Love the puppies!!!
I love Pauley, too! I love NCIS, too! And I love Mark and Cote! Ohhh, and I loved this post 🙂 Please, write some more goodies about the NCIS gang.
I had always wonder about all those crazy tattoo’s that Abby has on NCIS. It looks like they are not permanent. Just part of that character.
And isn’t it amazing how well a girl ages when she isn’t some crazy crackhead.
Pauley looks 28.
While Lohan looks 45.
Do you love Pauley Perrette? Yes
Do you love her even more with puppies?
Yes i do.
And i had now idea she was 42, thats good genes.
I hope she gets a payraise cause she actually deserve it (she can actually act which some actors cant)
Are you fucking kidding me?? 42 years old?????????????????????? I’m too shocked wtf.
Yes Kaiser I love NCIS too!
I’ve got a serious Gibbs crush.
I love Abby’s character. I volunteered to man an event booth for Habitat a few months ago. There was a nun volunteering as well and we had a funny conversation about Abby working for Habitat. We love her!!
Love. Pauley. Love Ziva. Love Ducky. LOVE NCIS and ALL the people on it! 😀
They’ve showing last season’s eps online at cbs.com this summer! YAY!
Yes & yes
YES! LOVE her even more!!! That big dog is GORGEOUS! And I’m in love with Mark Harmon, still the sexiest man on the planet!
She is NOT 42! Love her to absolute bits and her plus puppies is just awesome. And i would have put her at oldest at about thirty- i wont say aging gracefully because she simply isnt aging at all. And not in a freaky Hollywood Im-using-all-the-fillers kind of not aging. Just looking amazing, always.
Love the puppies, love the big dog too! My bf used to be obsessed with NCIS, but oddly, doesn’t watch it anymore. I think it’s odd that the people on the show are so popular, but are not papped, and don’t see to do much endorsements.
Well I saw the show once and liked it and I liked her character (I did not find the character beliveable but I still liked her). Anyway, I like her and I like the puppies – they are so cute!!
I love NCIS, I love every single character! (Except I love to hate Director Vance) And those dogs are gorgeous too!! Whooop for Pauley!! 😀
She reminds me of Milla Jovovich in the face. I think she looks great and deserves getting good press. Cheers!
How could anyone not love her? and with puppies? Awwwwww…
But I adore the big dog in the first pic. What a beauty!
42?!? Wow!
Love her, love NCIS. Perfect post is perfect 😀
I loves Pauley (and NCIS) to death but I honestly thought she was older than 42 (NOT that she LOOKS it!). Kind of like me dressing in my kid’s Hot Topic clothes, it tends to make us look like we’re “trying too hard.”
BUT, that dress is DYN-O-MITE!
My dad has a total man crush on Mark Harmon. I just have a straight up crush on Mark Harmon. But I’m not a redhead so I doubt I stand a chance.
The fact that Pauley is 42 sickens me. Darn young genes. The pups are cute.
I can’t believe she’s 42, I would have guessed early 30’s at the oldest. I LOVE Mark Harmon!!!!
LOVE Pauley! Love this post. I follow Pauley on Twitter…always has great photos. She is a very talented poet and singer as well. Love all the cast…they go so great together and Mark Harmon is the best looking, sexiest guy EVER! I think they all must be really good people.
Yes, she does look great for her age, but style is a part of it too. Young look, young attitude…put her in some Jennifer Garner mom jeans and she’d prolly look a little older
LOVE LOVE LOVE HER!!!!!
i would love to know what her skin care regime is and where she got those shoes
NCIS is a crappy show with lame characters that are nothing more than cookie cutter stereotypes. She’s a one note actress.
I just can’t 🙂 Let’s compare her to Lohan’s face who is 17 years younger then Pauley…. Lohan looks like she could be Pauley’s mother 🙂
Yes! And NCIS is totally awesome, don’t be ashamed of your love!
She’s the main reason why I watch NCIS in the first place, honestly. I mean, I love the entire cast, but I’ve got a bit of a girl crush on Pauley. Seeing her with puppies makes my heart melt LOL!
Ok yeah, but that first photo is a totally awkward upskirt shot.
Oh she totally rocks! I love NCIS too and she is one of my favorites on the show. I cannot believe she is 42. You go girl! I wish there were more actresses like her out there instead of the same old cookie cutter types who can’t even act. Pauley can act. She is amazing!
