Hollywood Mourns Loss of Beloved Journalist Sam Rubin: NCIS Star Pauley Perrette Pays Tribute
Following the heartbreaking news of journalist Sam Rubin’s passing at the age of 64, the entertainment industry has been flooded with tributes from celebrities, including NCIS alum Pauley Perrette.
Taking to Instagram, Perrette shared her fond memories of Rubin, describing him as a friend and an exceptional human being. Despite her aversion to interviews, Perrette always looked forward to conversing with Rubin, whom she found to be genuine, fun, and supportive. She shared a touching clip of the two sharing a friendly kiss on the cheek during a KTLA interview, showcasing their warm rapport.
The clip, believed to be from December, coincided with a significant moment in Perrette’s career, possibly her final NCIS episode. Though Perrette was only on the phone for the interview, her joyous demeanor reflected her appreciation for Rubin and the KTLA team.
Perrette also reminisced about her discussions with Rubin regarding her sitcom Broke, which was unfortunately canceled after one season. As Perrette retired from acting post-sitcom, their December interview may have marked a poignant reunion, making the tribute even more meaningful.
The outpouring of tributes from Hollywood’s elite, including Ben Stiller, Octavia Spencer, Ryan Reynolds, and more, underscores Rubin’s profound impact on the industry and his enduring legacy. While his presence will be deeply missed, his contributions to entertainment journalism will be remembered for years to come.
