Kaley Cuoco

Next in my line up of celebrity autographs is American TV star, Kaley Cuoco.


Kaley's first decent role was as Maureen McCormack (the actress who played Marcia Brady) in the biopic "Growing Up Brady". She received some applaud for this role, and having seen it once on Foxtel, I can agree. The film wasn't that bad either. Well, it was definately a lot better then "The Brady Bunch In The White House".

(That's her in the red top in the middle of the stairs)

After this, Cuoco went on to star in the mega-hit sitcom "8 Simple Rules For Dating My Teenage Daughter" which was then shortened to "8 Simple Rules". Unfortunately, during the filming of the show's second season, John Ritter, who played the Dad, died of a congenital heart defect. The producers put the show on hiatis, and when it returned they wrote the death into the storyline. Going into it's third season, the show was never the same again (despite Katey Segal taking a more prominent role, and the casting of James Garner and David Spade), and was cancelled.

Then, Cuoco went on the star in the final 22 episodes of Charmed, as apprentice witch Billie Jenkins. But her biggest role (to date) was just around the corner...

Kaley Cuoco can now be seen as Penny in the sitcom "The Big Bang Theory" on Channel 9, Go!, and Foxtel's Comedy Channel. For those of you who haven't watched the show, it's a delightful romp about two 20-something "nerds" who live aross the hall from Penny, a wanna-be actress. It has some great laughs, and a lot of comic book/movie/pop culture references. In the more recent epsiodes, Penny has hooked up with Leonard. In the past, when the 2 lead roles get together, this has lead to the show's downfall, but in this case it has reinvigorated the dynamic of the show and has lead to better storylines.

Anyway, back to the autograph, when Cuoco was starring in 8 Simple Rules, I sent my usual letter of request (including a self-addressed envelope) and not much longer, I received this charming 3x5 card as a reply. Sa-weet!
