Katherine Lanasa applauded fresh by her Emmys, “Prick” To make “tired old working women” and doctors feel seen.
“I just felt so much love from the fans,” Lanasa told the press just minutes after getting his Emmy for outstanding actress in a drama series for her depiction of the nurse Dana on “The Pitt.” “I think many tired old working women really feel seen now.”
Lanasa added that she hopes that doctors also feel seen and notes that “Pitt” and her performance in it and “all that (Dana) gives and lasts” is a “love letter” to nurses and doctors, especially considering her own cancer trip, which she has been pronounced.
“Joining the role, even only the imaginary process of being present to someone else’s serious trauma, has really opened me to, first and foremost, what healthcare workers carry for us all day, every day – people at the emergency room, which is basically just to see trauma immediately things that mean immediately.
With Lanasa who won in the best supportive actress in a drama series categories against those like Carrie Coon and Patricia Arquette, the actress said that her win is responsible for the life of her career and noted that an actor’s life is full of strategy.
“I love the spectacle, but the job of being an actor can be really difficult without getting the little recognition here and there,” she said.
Lanasa will repeat her role as a nurse Dana when “The Pitt” returns for her second season in 2026, a return as exciting many fans after her character expressed doubt when returning to Pittsburgh emergency reception after a particularly traumatic day.
“The Pitt” Season 1 is now flowing at HBO Max.
