About Kaley Cuoco
Kaley Christine Cuoco is an American Actor and Producer. She is most popularly known for her role as Penny Hofstadter in the famous sitcom The Big Bang Theory. The show spanned 12 seasons, from 2007 to 2019, catapulting the cast into superstardom. Kaley played an aspiring actor living across from her neighbours, a group of scientists who were also nerds, making for a hilarious combination, as the show proved to be. She earned multiple award nominations and about $150 million from being part of the Witty Show.
Apart from The Big Bang Theory, Kaley is also noted for her role as Bridget Hennessey in the ABC Sitcom ‘8 Simple Rules’ (2002 - 2005), which placed her on the radar as a gifted actor before she earned the role of Penny. And more recently, her executive production ‘The Flight Attendant’ (2020 - 2022), where she also starred as an alcoholic flight attendant, and lent her voice for the titular role in the adult animation series Harley Quinn (2019 - ), thus proving her range as an entertainer.
Cuoco founded a film and television production company called ‘Yes, Norman Productions’ in October of 2017, through which she funded the aforementioned comedy/ drama series The Flight Attendant and Harley Quinn. She also founded a pet product company named ‘Oh Norman’ in 2023, a brand that sells affordable, eco-friendly, and ethically sourced dog treats. Both companies are named after her beloved dog Norman, who she claims “changed her life!”.
In her spare time, Kaley loves to ride horseback and play tennis. She recently announced the birth of her daughter with partner Tom Pelphrey.

Kaley Cuoco almost lost her leg to a horse-riding accident when she was in the prime of her acting career with The Big Bang Theory. Well, years later, she still seems to be up on the saddle, holding the reins, towards her pinnacle of success. She has used her 20-year acting experience to evolve along with the business; as Penny, she showed her comedic timing and wit to skillfully contrast her scientist neighbours’ rhetoric to widespread acclaim, and as Cassandra, she added to her repertoire poise and mystery in the comedy/ drama The Flight Attendant, for which she got the nods to prestigious awards The Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy.
Granted that Cuoco earned most of her worth from her time at TBBT, but the millionaire hasn’t found her retirement couch yet. With her first couple of ventures as an executive producer being widely accepted successes, she seems to know the way to go.
