Kaley Cuoco has revealed her dream role — and it involves stepping into the glittering heels of country legend Dolly Parton.
The Big Bang Theory star, 40, recently shared that she would “love” to portray the “9 to 5” icon in a biopic. During an interview with NME, her Vanished co-star Sam Claflin suggested she’d be perfect for the role — and Cuoco didn’t hesitate to agree.
“Oh yes! That is a great idea,” she said enthusiastically. “I am in love with her. I just hear the nicest things about her.”
Cuoco also admired Dolly’s decades-long marriage to Carl Dean, who passed away in March 2025 at 82. The couple, married for 58 years, famously lived in separate houses — something Cuoco finds inspiring.
“That’s how to do it,” she joked. “Just live in different homes. Knock knock, let’s have dinner, let’s go.”
Meanwhile, Amanda Seyfried has also expressed interest in portraying the country superstar, while Dolly herself has previously mentioned that she would love to see Kristin Chenoweth take on the role in a future film adaptation of her life.
