Keynote speech @ TribeFest 2011 “I don’t think anything I do in my life is about me”, the 36-year-old said in her humbled acceptance speech. “It’s about what G-d has put in my path. That’s really what has driven me.” Bialik told the Hollywood Reporter, that she has a Torah study group quietly meet with her on Friday nights in between taping scenes for the show. In addition to her roles on Blossom and The Big Bang Theory, Bialik who has a PhD in neuroscience, has also appeared on Curb Your Enthusiasm, Fat Actress and The Secret Life of the American Teenager.
