Kaley Cuoco – Penny (The Big Bang Theory)
Being a nerd used to be so uncool, but that all changed in the 2000s. Shows like The Big Bang Theory are partially to blame. In the program, Penny, the love interest of head nerd Leonard, is played by Cuoco. She is best known for her role as Bridget Hennessy on the short-lived ABC comedy 8 Simple Rules when she initially joined The Big Bang Theory.

The show aired for almost a decade and just recently finished recording in 2019. This allowed spectators to follow the young actress’ development. Cuoco has kept herself busy since the show ended. She recently starred in The Flight Attendant and portrayed Harley Quinn in the animated television series. In June 2018, she married equestrian Karl Cook.
