Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco explains why she was initially rejected

It's hard to imagine The Big Bang Theory without Kaley Cuoco, but it seems like it did not happen at the beginning of the show.

The actress opened before the last episode of the series, explaining why she was initially rejected from the series, explaining that Penny had not initially appeared in the pilot.

"In the first pilot, Penny's character [originally named Katie] Peter Roth, president of Warner Bros and content manager, was not as attractive as this proverbial girl next door. Insider on TV.

"This was not the actress [Amanda Walsh] but rather the vanity of the character. Fortunately, Nina Tbadler, then President of CBS Entertainment, realized that we had something very special and said, "Let's do it again". "

Cuoco then added, "I have not had [the role of Katie] the first time. I was too young, what I like to say because I can not say that I am too young.[[[[Laughs]Then, a year later, I heard that they were starting again and they brought me back to read for Penny. "

Earlier this week, the show revealed the release date of its finale, with the episode of an hour broadcast on May 16.

The members of the cast were certainly moved to say goodbye to the series, the star Mayim Bialik recently spoke of his "grief" when leaving the series.

"All things must end, even good things must stop," she said. "I have to accept what is, instead of lamenting and fearing the rest."

The Big Bang Theory is broadcast on CBS in the United States and on E4 and Netflix in the United Kingdom.
