Diona Reasonover

Although you can currently catch Diona Reasonover as Kasie Hines on the hit CBS crime drama, “NCIS,” the actor and writer has some serious comedic chops. Before joining the cast of the show last year (she replaced series regular Pauley Perrette) she starred on the TBS comedy “Clipped,” and has appeared on numerous television shows including “Grace & Frankie,” “Two Broke Girls,” and “Superstore.” Reasonover, who is a graduate of Oberlin College and the California Institute of the Arts, is also a writer; her credits include “Adam Ruins Everything,” “I Love Dick,” and the Emmy-nominated “I Love You, America” with Sarah Silverman. The Detroit native now lives in Los Angeles with her wife, fellow 100 Women Class of 2019 honoree Patricia Villetto (the couple has been married since 2018). Her seamless blending of both comedic and dramatic forms shines through in the message she wishes to share with the LGBTQ community: “Take care of yourself. Stay hydrated. I believe in you.” —RK
