Kaley Christine Cuoco (born November 30, 1985 in Camarillo, California) is an American actress known for being blonde, bubbly and occasionally ditzy in a lot of TV shows from the TurnOfTheMillennium onward.

* IWantYouToMeetAnOldFriendOfMine: [[invoked]]Amy Davidson voices a character called Tiffany in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/BrandyAndMrWhiskers'' who bonds with Brandy. The two actresses had played sisters on ''Series/EightSimpleRules''.
* MsFanservice: Is often cast in roles that stand out for beauty, with flattering and revealing wardrobe to boot. She was even brought into ''{{Series/Charmed 1998}}'' to fulfill the {{Fanservice}} requirements that the three lead actresses were getting tired of doing.

* RealitySubtext:[[invoked]] On ''{{Series/Charmed|1998}}'' Billie is an aspiring demon hunter who volunteers to help the Charmed Ones, and give them more free time. In reality the character was introduced in order to give the three lead actresses less work to do.

* StageNames: An interesting aversion, as when many actresses get married they legally change their last name to their husbands' but continue to be credited by their original name. When Kaley married Ryan Sweeting she had her name hyphenated Cuoco-Sweeting and was credited as such for a little less than two years before divorcing and retaining her original name again.

A sitcom about a group of nerds saw Kaley starring as the GirlNextDoor called ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' proved to be a smash hit and catapulted all its cast members to stardom - Kaley included. When she's not on ''The Big Bang Theory'' she's a regular on commercials for Priceline.com, portraying the daughter of Creator/WilliamShatner. Her role on ''The Flight Attendant'', as both an executive producer and lead character Cassie Bowden has garnered her new attention, including both a Golden Globe and Screen Actor's Guild award nominations.
