Kaley Cuoco receives star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- "The Big Bang Theory" star Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Wednesday.

"It's heartwarming to me to be recognized for something that I feel is so a part of me," she said. "There's nothing else I've loved so much."

The actress' plaque is the 2,532nd star on the famed walkway. "The Big Bang Theory" creator Chuck Lorre and castmembers Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar attended the ceremony on Hollywood Boulevard.

"She has the reflexes of a cat during a scene. You throw something at her, she throws it back. She's there for you, she never drops the ball," Parsons said. "It's amazing, and in comedy specifically, she's got the rhythms of a musician. It's just beautiful."

The 28-year-old actress' role as Penny on "The Big Bang Theory" has brought her People's Choice, Critics' Choice and Satellite Awards and four nominations for Teen Choice Awards.

"As an actress, she personifies making what we do look easy without every an ounce of apathy. She is a calming rock on our stage," Galecki said.

"People will come from all around the world to urinate right there next to your star. That's going to be so incredible," Simon Helberg joked.

Helberg recalled his first impression of Cuoco-Sweeting when they were filming the pilot.

"I'm a big pacer, and I'm always nervous ... and I looked over at Kaley, and she's just hanging out, just checking her watch, and they yell 'action,' and it's just 100 percent natural ability," he said.

Cuoco-Sweeting also starred with the late John Ritter on ABC's "8 Simple Rules for Dating my Teenage Daughter." Other TV credits include a recurring role on "Charmed" and guest appearances on "Prison Break," "Northern Exposure" and "Ladies Man."

She is also part of the cast of the film, "The Wedding Ringer," which is set to be released Jan. 16.
