Kaley Cuoco is known worldwide for playing Penny during the twelve seasons of ‘The Big Bang Theory,’ although her filmography goes far beyond that celebrated sitcom, both in film and television. One of her greatest achievements and challenges was the series ‘The Flight Attendant,’ which premiered in 2020 on HBO Max, where she also served as a producer and had to tackle the most difficult role of her career, to the point of refusing to work with anyone else: herself.
Kaley Cuoco multiplied by two
The actress acknowledged this to Variety: “This was tough. I am such a sponge, and I do a million different ways in a million different takes,” the actress admitted about her double performance in ‘The Flight Attendant’. “Well, that is not the way you can do it with motion capture. So let’s say I would play every day Cassie, and we would have to actually pick a take that we loved, which then would fix right on the spot. I would then go change, and I would be working against that take as this new Cassie. And on and on and on and on. If I messed up, we had to start all over. It was a really different way of working,” the actress continued.

Such was the level of demand of this form of filming and acting that Cuoco went so far as to say emphatically: “And you know who I don’t want to work with ever again, is myself multiple times!” added the actress. Fortunately, Cuoco had the help of a stunt double: “The motion capture was truly me against myself. The other versions we did, a girl named Monette Moio, who was my stunt double, ended up playing a lot of gold-dress Cassie. She was incredible — a lot of the over-the-shoulder stuff, when you see that it’s either me or her. She had a tough job, because she had to copy and mimic every single thing that I did. But most of the time, I was truly working with myself,” added the actress.
However, her work on ‘The Flight Attendant’ took its toll on Kaley Cuoco, especially mentally and even physically: “It was one of the hardest years of my life. Not only personally, but doing this character that was so tormented. It was the first time that I started therapy — I’ve been very open about that,” the actress confessed. “I started at the beginning of Season 2, just because I was going through so much right before we started shooting. It was horrible. And I developed a stress rash that ran all the way down my body for three straight months that wouldn’t go away. I literally, like, had fire on my leg for three months,” said the actress, even admitting that during this time she could barely walk.

Due to the demands of filming, ‘The Flight Attendant’ only lasted two seasons, as Cassie refused to return, and HBO Max ended up canceling the series. “A flight attendant’s life gets turned upside down after she wakes up in a hotel room with a dead man but with no memory of what happened,” reads the official synopsis of the series, which is available on HBO Max.
