Mayim Bialik returned to acting after 12 years for health insurance.

So happy together – The Big Bang Theory

After three seasons of carrying the show's weight in parroting rapid-fire scientific monologues, Jim Parsons' Sheldon finally got some help from Mayim Bialik's Amy. Since then, she has cemented herself as one of the most beloved characters from the show, ending up amassing a fortune of $25 million throughout her tenure as Sheldon's love interest.

Thanks to her job on The Big Bang Theory, Bialik was set on life, as she initially returned to acting full-time after her health insurance ran out.

Despite headlining her own sitcom, Blossom, at age 15, Mayim Bialik took a 12-year hiatus from acting to study neuroscience. While she earned both a bachelor's and a doctorate in the subject and also tutored students in Hebrew and piano, things changed when she realized her health insurance was running out.
