The Pitt: Katherine LaNasa Talks About Her Husband Grant Show and Their Life Together
Katherine LaNasa, known for her role as nurse Dana Evans on the medical drama The Pitt, shared why her husband, actor Grant Show, cannot appear on the show due to his striking looks. The couple, who met while filming HBO's Big Love in 2006, have since worked together on various projects like Satisfaction, Devious Maids, and Dynasty. LaNasa and Show tied the knot in 2012 and have a daughter named Eloise Show. LaNasa also has a son from a previous relationship with actor Dennis Hopper. Despite initial reservations, LaNasa praises Show as a great husband and father, emphasizing their strong bond.
LaNasa and Show humorously revealed that the key to their long-lasting marriage is simply not getting divorced. LaNasa's recent win at the Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series prompted her to thank her family for their support. While some actors on The Pitt have had their partners make guest appearances on the show, LaNasa's husband has not joined the cast. The show's second season delves into the lives of the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center staff during a challenging 15-hour shift on the Fourth of July.
In an interview before the season 2 premiere, LaNasa discussed her character's storyline mentoring a new nursing school graduate named Emma, played by Laëtitia Hollard. Dana's protective nature towards Emma stems from a previous incident where she was assaulted by a patient in season 1. The show's first two seasons are currently streaming on HBO Max.
