Los Angeles, Oct 20 (IANS) Actress Kaley Cuoco, who is known for her work in the sitcom ‘The Big Bang Theory’, has said that she will always have a place in her heart for the show.
The actress, 38, opened up about her time starring in the popular CBS sitcom, as she said, “I spent 12 years playing that role, and it really set off my career. I owe a lot to that character, to that show, to (creator) Chuck Lorre”, reports ‘People’ magazine.
She told ‘People’, “It was some of the best years of my life, and some of the most fun I’ve ever had”.
