Former NCIS star Pauley Perrette is tenderly remembering her mother on what would have been her birthday. As you can tell, she went out on Instagram to share some beautiful photos of her and her mom together. In the first photo, we see Perrette with her mother as a baby. Then, we see both of them together with Perrette showing up as a young child. But we get some older photos as Perrette showed herself as a blonde-haired young girl.
Along with the photos, Perrette wrote a beautiful caption. She wrote, “Today would have been my mom’s birthday. Lost her 20 years ago. I wish I could have known her now that I’m older and not such a knucklehead. Got a lot to say to her, and to apologize for when I meet up with her in Heaven! And I was a really good kid! But still, I can always find something to apologize for.

Meanwhile, one thing that people probably did not know about Perrette of NCIS is that she suffered a stroke. It was something that she opened up about a year after it happened. Back in September, she talked about it in a video post online. “Hey guys, Oh My God, it’s Sept 2,” Perrette said in the accompanying video. “It’s a one-year anniversary since I had a stroke. And I’m still here.” Raising her eyebrows for emphasis, she said, “I’m still here.”
She would go on to share more about her life. For instance, Perrette said that she almost died from a hair dye allergy. She said that she has food allergies. Additionally, Perrette said that she’s a domestic violence and rape survivor. Perrette adds that she was assaulted by a “crazy” homeless person and she almost died.
