But three years after leaving the hit show, Pauley has distanced herself even further from her character by undergoing a dramatic hair transformation and ditching her trademark hue completely.

Last year was a tough one for the former actress, who revealed in January 2021 that her father, Paul, had sadly passed away following a battle with COVID-19.
Sharing the heartbreaking news on Twitter, she penned: "I am the total Daddy’s Girl. Daddy is my whole world. My person that loves me SO MUCH, never judges me and always thinks I’m AWESOME even when I’m not.
"Daddy didn’t make it. #RIP my beloved daddy."

In November, Pauley paid tribute to those who have lost their lives, including her father. Marking All Saints Day on November 8, Pauley shared a somber photo of herself in a church surrounded by candles.
"It was #AllSaintsDay at church today. So much loss in the last year, it’s almost unbearable," she wrote. "Lit candles for all those we are remembering. That one was for Dad. All blessings to all who are hurting. And the holidays are so hard, look after each other."
