Kaley Cuoco

Kaley Cuoco began modeling and acting at the tender age of six, when she was cast in the TV movie Quicksand: No Escape. Growing up in front of the camera, the young actress continued to appear as the requisite little girl in movies like Virtuosity and Picture Perfect until, at 15, she made a serious splash playing Maureen McCormick in Growing Up Brady. Two years later, Cuoco was cast as teenage daughter Bridget on the sitcom 8 Simple Rules. She was voted one of FHM's hottest women of the 2004, though that same year she gave a performance in which she never showed her hotness off on camera, lending her voice to the cartoon Bratz: Rock Angelz. Cuoco joined the cast of Charmed for its eighth and final season in 2005, playing a witch named Billie Jenkins; meanwhile, she also provided the voice of Brandy Harrington for the Disney Channel's animated series Brandy & Mr. Whiskers. In 2007, Cuoco joined the cast of the comedy series The Big Bang Theory, as Penny, the hot neighbor of two geeky physicists (Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons). - Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide
