Trivia
→ In fall 2010 Kaley Cuoco revealed to CBS’s Watch! Magazine’s Behind the Scenes (2008) that she and her co-star and love interest Johnny Galecki had secretly dated for two years earlier in the run of the show, but they are no longer together.
→ Kaley Cuoco missed filming two episodes of season four because of a broken leg that was the result of a horseback riding accident. In her first appearance following the accident, she was filmed standing behind a counter.
→ Kaley Cuoco presented the Best Performance by an Actor in a television series, musical or comedy at the 2011 Golden Globe Awards to her co-star Jim Parsons.
→ Although Kaley Cuoco’s character “Penny” is well-known to be from Nebraska, in performance Cuoco sometimes still displays a linguistic tic common to Californians: she lengthens words ending “-ing” so that they sound like “-een” and dropping the “g” (e.g. pronouncing “starting” as “starteen”).
