Melissa Rauch As Bernadette Rostenkowski

The Big Bang Theory’s resident pint-sized microbiologist Bernadette Rostenkowski is perhaps best remembered for her distinct voice. So, you’ll be surprised to hear that Melissa Rauch, who played the character for 12 seasons, doesn’t sound quite as nasal or squeaky in real life. Their differences don’t end there.

While Bernadette rocks her colorful dresses and cardigans for a nerdy chic look, Rauch isn’t afraid to glam up and show her sultry side as she hits red carpet events. But despite these, she related to her character’s experience with motherhood after giving birth to two children herself, with the latest being a baby boy born in May 2020.
