Riki Lindhome was on her back and in stirrups, an ultrasound probe inserted into her uterus, when suddenly the doctor performing the procedure recognised her from The Big Bang Theory. “While this thing is inside of me, she goes, ‘Hey! You’re Ramona!’” recalls the actor, who did indeed star in the smash-hit sitcom, but would rather not have been remembered for it at that exact moment in time, given, well, the stirrups and the probe.
“I had to laugh,” says Lindhome, now 47, laughing again. “Because that was like, honestly, the eighth-worst thing that happened to me that day.” The awkward moment occurred during a medical procedure to end Lindhome’s pregnancy after a routine scan in her second trimester showed that the baby’s heart was growing in the wrong place.
