The former NCIS star reminded her fans on Twitter recently of the time she rocked blond hair - and she suits it just as much as she does being a brunette.

Pauley had shared a collage of photos to mark her good friend and "adorable assistant" Joey Jsf's birthday. In one photo she was seen with her long blond locks, which were styled in three bunches.

However, the show was cancelled after just one season, and in 2020, the actress announced that she had officially retired from acting.

The actress was recently inundated with support from her fans after revealing on Twitter that she had suffered from a stroke and nearly died last year, among other upsetting incidents that had happened to her over the years.

It read: "It's 9/2. One year ago I had a massive stroke. 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, and STILL HERE!"
