Paula Newsome – Jackie Vance
We’ve already met Director Leon Vance on NCIS, and he spent ten years every night returning home to his lovely family. His wife’s character, Jackie Vance, was played by Paula Newsome, and she was killed off in the tenth season because he was too comfortable at home! Following her tenure on NCIS, Paula went on to guest star in How to Get Away with Murder, Cougar Town, and Castle. She played CeCe in two seasons of Chicago Med, a much larger part.
