The Pitt’s Katherine LaNasa Unpacks Dana’s Most ‘Degrading’ Moment


“How do you go home to your daughters and granddaughter and be like, ‘Mom goes to a place where they beat her up every day’?”

In Max’s The Pitt, that person is charge nurse Dana Evans, played by Katherine LaNasa ( Truth Be Told, Devious Maids). That all changes at the end of the ninth hour of the shift, when a frustrated patient, Doug Driscoll, catches her taking a quick smoke break and punches her in the face. Later I asked her, thinking about the Doug Driscoll storyline: “If people are so rude and they’re demanding to be seen first because they have good insurance or whatever else, do you ever subtly put them to the back of the line?” She says, “No, but I wouldn’t give them a sandwich.”
