Kaley Cuoco, who played Penny in the successful TV show The Big Bang Theory, revealed that she disliked filming a scene where her character was covered in hair resembling an ape during the seventh season. She suggested that the scene be cut, but creators Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady disagreed. Cuoco also injured herself on set while attempting to stage a fake physical fight with co-star Johnny Galecki. Despite cutting herself near the eye, she managed to finish filming the scene successfully.
