Kaley was born on November 30th, 1985, her parents are Gary and Layne Cuoco. Having first stepped in front of the camera at a tender eight months old, Kaley has endured audition after audition through the years in the hopes of landing a steady television gig. She started out modeling around 6 years old! She also appeared on stage in a community theater playing roles in "Fiddler on the Roof" and "Annie." But acting wasn't her only gift, she started tennis at only 3 years old! She thought she would make a career out of that but soon she would go further then she would have hoped. Her first real movie gig was in 1995 in the movie Virtuosity, she played Karin, it starred Denzel Washington. Later then did a little cameo with one of the now biggest star in Hollywood, Jennifer Aniston! Her career was starting to look better by the year as she starred in tons of movies, but what really got this young girl noticed was the Ladies Man, she joined the cast in 1999, she played as Bonnie Stiles, but like most TV shows it didn't last that long, it ended in 2001.
She then started more auditions, after tons of rejections, Kaley heard some magic words last spring in 2002 when her cell phone rang shortly after meeting with the producers of "8 Simple Rules." Kaley would star as the role of a lifetime, playing Bridget Hennesy, the hot blonde who gets by with her looks. After the first season ended things were looking good for the new hit TV Show, it would end up for another season! As they took a break from taping the new season they would go to John's favorite place, Disney Land, during that time Kaley was dating actor Kevin Zegers, of course John had to approve of him before she would date, and he knew he was a good person. Things were looking good for Kaley as her stardom was becoming better by the day. She appeared on the cover of TEEN, of course this was not the first time Kaley has been on the cover of something, in 2001 she was on the TV Guide with other young new actors and appeared on USA Newsweek in 2003. In early August she went back to ABC to start shooting season two of 8 Simple Rules, they completed three episodes for a September premiere. At this time sadly John Ritter passed away & Kaley was shocked and very heart broken, she didn't want to go on with 8 Simple Rules because she felt it was more of the Ritter Show, after months and months of thinking she decided to continue the show, they aired the first 3 episodes and took a long break and then worked on the Goodbye episode.
Kaley would soon join up for new upcoming roles for ABC and NBC, she just completed an NBC mini series 10.5, she also completed a movie with BSB Nick Carter and ex-boyfriend Kevin Zegers. She also has an upcoming cartoon about two dogs, she will talk for the poodle. Things are starting to look up for this actress and now we don't have to say "The hot blonde on 8 Simple Rules" we can now call her by Kaley Cuoco and people would know who we we're talking about.
When she's not acting, Cuoco is an avid tennis player, who consistently ranks well in Southern California Tennis Association standings as a member of a regional amateur division team. In addition, she enjoys spending time with friends, going to the mall and hip-hop dancing. Cuoco is home-schooled and lives in Ventura County, California with her family.
She has a chihuahua dachhund-mix dog named Petey. And takes a kickboxing or a spinning class three times a week and was nominated in 2000 Young Artist Award for Best Young Actress/Performance in a Miniseries/Made-For-TV Film for: Growing Up Brady. Was also nominated in 1993 Young Artist Award for Best Young Actress in a Cable Movie for: Quicksand: No Escape. Kaley has joined the cast of 'Charmed' for season 8. She plays a young witch, Billie, and helps the Charmed Ones to defeat demons, while she is searching for her lost sister.
