10 Best Movies & TV Shows Starring Kaley Cuoco

To audiences across the world, Cuoco does not have a more well-known role than that of Penny in The Big Bang Theory. The role of an attractive, comparatively dim young woman who befriends a group of unapologetic intelligent nerds is an oversimplified role with the benefit of hindsight. But it is one that Cuoco absolutely makes her own, with a mixture of humour, attitude and passion that fits Penny's character to perfection.

While initially starting as something of a cliche, Cuoco takes the role and crafts a character with her own ambitions and interests. Far from simply furthering the arcs of the male characters, she is often the most interesting and entertaining figure that the show has to offer.

For a time, Cuoco was the second highest paid actress on television for her role in the ever popular sitcom. Although Big Bang officially wrapped up in 2019, availability on streaming platforms and a seemingly endless slew of repeats means that it is still as easy as ever to get into the show.

Big Bang's easy-watching nature will ensure that it, and Cuoco's starring turn, will have a place on the small screen for years to come.
