After her second marriage ended Kaley Cuoco described one particular morning as the worst of her entire life — barely functioning, hitting rock bottom in a way that the bubbly sitcom star the whole world thought they knew would have been completely unrecognizable.

Penny from The Big Bang Theory spent years making the whole world laugh. Kaley Cuoco spent those same years quietly figuring out how to be happy — and at 40 she finally got there.
