Known for playing the sweet Bernadette Rostenkowski-Wolowitz on The Big Bang Theory, Melissa Rauch does a 180 with her portrayal in The Bronze. As bronze medalist Hope Ann Gregory, she's a foul-mouthed, boozing, washed-up Olympic gymnast. Written by Rauch and her husband and filmed in Amherst, the movie — in theaters now — tells the story of the Olympian who fades in anonymity everywhere except her hometown. "Hope falls from grace," says Rauch, "but I believe she's an inspirational character." Rauch talks about gymnastics, Amherst and the fragility of fame.
