As a result of her negative experience during her childhood years, Pauley has made sure that she always helps others, and uses her profile to do a lot of good work.

While she often tweets about causes close to her heart, Pauley has stepped back from acting in the last few years.
The star played Abby Sciuto on NCIS for 15 years, before quitting in 2018 - much to the shock of fans. She admitted the following year that she would never return to the show.
