From sitcom queen to country icon? Kaley Cuoco is ready.
The Big Bang Theory alum has revealed she’d “absolutely” love to play Dolly Parton in a biographical film. The idea came up during a recent interview when her co-star suggested she could take on the role — and Cuoco was instantly on board.
“That is a great idea,” she said. “I adore her. I only ever hear wonderful things about her.”
Cuoco also opened up about how much she admired Dolly’s marriage to Carl Dean, who died in 2025. The pair were married for 58 years but famously chose to live in separate homes — something Dolly often spoke about openly.
“That’s how to do it,” Cuoco joked, praising their unique but lasting bond.
With Amanda Seyfried also expressing interest and Dolly previously naming Kristin Chenoweth as her top pick, it seems there’s no shortage of actresses eager to step into the country legend’s shoes.
