Sasha Alexander, best known for her role as Agent Kate Todd in NCIS, has maintained a vibrant career in various shows and films since her departure from the series. Todd played a pivotal role in the NCIS team until her shocking exit in the second season, where she was tragically shot in the head by double-agent Ari Haswari. The storyline took a dramatic turn when Ari’s half-sister, Ziva David, ultimately fatally shot him.
Since her time on NCIS, Sasha Alexander has graced the screen in a diverse range of projects, including “Lucky 13,” “Yes Man,” “Friends,” “The Ride,” “He’s Just Not That Into You,” “Mission: Impossible III,” and “FBI.”
However, one of her most notable roles came as Maura Isles in the series “Rizzoli & Isles,” where she captivated audiences for six years. Additionally, she portrayed Helene Runyon in the SAG Award-winning series “Shameless.”
In more recent endeavors, Sasha lent her voice to the character Adeline in the animated film “Deathstroke Knights and Dragons,” starred in “Dangerous Lies,” and made a guest appearance in an episode of “Law and Order.”
On the personal front, Sasha is happily married to Edoardo Ponti, whom she met at USC’s film school, with whom she tied the knot in 2007. Notably, she is the daughter-in-law of the legendary Italian actress Sophia Loren, who is Edoardo’s mother, from her marriage to Carlo Ponti.
Sasha and Edoardo are proud parents to two children, a daughter named Lucia Sofia Ponti and a son named Leonardo Fortunato Ponti.
In May, the former NCIS star marked a significant milestone as she celebrated her 50th birthday surrounded by loved ones in Paris.
