Kaley Cuoco led a cavalcade of celebrities at a glamorous Los Angeles heart health benefit in memory of her late TV dad John Ritter.
John played Kaley’s father on the sitcom 8 Simple Rules For Dating My Teenage Daughter – until his shock death of an aortic dissection in 2003, aged just 54.
Over the years Kaley, 38, has reflected movingly on the close bond she shared with John and the shattering grief she experienced when he died.
Now she has lent her showbiz luster to An Evening From The Heart LA, a fundraising gala thrown for The John Ritter Foundation For Aortic Health.
She hit the black carpet in a shimmering smock-like dress that was tantalizingly sheer over the matching slip she had on underneath.

Kaley was furnished with a bit of family support that evening, sharing an embrace in front of the cameras with her younger sister Briana, 35.
The family resemblance between the two of them was on full display as they treated the photographers to their similar smiles.
Briana, who clashed her sumptuous dark hair against a white turtleneck top and a powder pink miniskirt, draped an arm warmly over her sister’s shoulders.
Kaley also enjoyed a warm red carpet moment with John’s widow Amy Yasbeck, who was married to him from 1999 until his death.
Amy, who was a sitcom star in the 1990s on Wings, lent the affair a splash of showbiz dazzle in a purple sequined dress that complemented her orange curls.
John and Amy’s dashing son Tyler Ritter, 39, who has followed his parents into the acting profession, was also on hand for the star-studded affair.
He could be seen gathering together with his mother and Kaley for a few group shots in which he flashed his megawatt smile, bringing back memories of his father.
The elegant gala was a family affair, as Amy and Tyler were also seen squatting to be photographed with John’s brother Tom Ritter, who attended the fete in a wheelchair.
