Katherine LaNasa Admits She Had Never Heard Of Blood Before ‘The Pitt’

BURBANK, CA—Admitting that her medical knowledge was “very limited” before landing the role of nurse Dana Evans, actress Katherine LaNasa told reporters Thursday that she had never heard of blood before The Pitt. “At first I wasn’t even pronouncing it right,” said the 59-year-old Emmy winner and HBO star, who credited the series’ “genius” team of medical consultants for getting her and the rest of the cast up to speed. “Thank God we have these real-life doctors on set. Nurse Dana may be a pro, but when I learned we have red liquid inside of us, I was like, ‘huh?’ I had to do a lot of research.” LaNasa went on to admit that even with a medical expert’s detailed explanation, she still didn’t really understand blood at all.
