Henrietta "Hetty" Lange is the Operations Manager at NCIS in Los Angeles. She was introduced in "Identity", the first episode of NCIS: Los Angeles as a stand-alone series. In spite of her small stature, the other characters find her intimidating, not least of all because of her colorful past; she has had many encounters, liaisons, and relationships with past agents and Hollywood greats. Like Eric Beal, she is fond of Abby Sciuto, when the latter made visits to Los Angeles, clearly appreciating how she can be stylish while, at the same time, being functional.
