Kaley Cuoco is a relative newcomer to my attention or else she might have ranked higher. Her previous most high profile television roles were on 8 Simple rules and Charmed. Both are shows I missed the boat on. I know her best as penny from The Big Bang Theory.
I am a relative newcomer to that sow, as well. My first experience with it was the 2008 Christmas themed in which Sheldon has to buy a gift for her out of social obligations he could not care less about until she gives him a napkin Leonard Nimoy autographed. It was such a weird, geeky moment. She was giving him a gift with the same attitude she would give a young nephew rather than a grown man . Sheldon’s struggle to hug her in gratitude against his aversion to human contact was so childlike, as well.
Okay, I am a nerd and a science fiction geek, but I do hope I have graduated beyond such awkwardness. I would like to think so, but it does bitter sweetly hit close to home.
Cuoco enjoys horseback riding, plays the drums, and isa nationally ranked table tennis player. She has landed three movie roles for the next three years, so it looks like her star is rising. Have I mentioned she kinda hot, too?
