Biography
Christina Applegate spent three decades moving between broad sitcom comedy and dramatic roles with unexpected depth. Born November 25, 1971, in the US, she is a retired American actress who built her earliest fame playing Kelly Bundy in Married... with Children (1987–1997), the Fox sitcom that defined late-1980s and '90s pop culture. Her titular role in Jesse (1998–2000) earned her first Golden Globe nomination, signaling a shift toward lead roles. In 2003, she won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for her work on Friends, validating her range outside sitcom archetypes. Over the 2000s and 2010s, she earned additional Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for Samantha Who? (2007–2009), and produced three television projects: Samantha Who?, the short-lived Up All Night (2011–2012), and the Netflix tragicomedy Dead to Me (2019–2022). In film, she became a reliable comedic presence in Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead (1991), The Sweetest Thing (2002), both Anchorman films (2004, 2013), Hall Pass (2011), Bad Moms (2016), and Vacation (2015). On stage, she earned a Tony Award nomination for her debut performance as the title character in Sweet Charity (2005). In August 2021, Applegate disclosed a multiple sclerosis diagnosis and announced her retirement from on-screen acting, though she committed to voice work. In 2026, she published a memoir that became a New York Times bestseller, focusing on resilience and self-acceptance. As a Sagittarius born in late November, she embodies the archer's blend of directness and philosophical depth—traits evident in her willingness to pivot genres and later, to document her health journey publicly. Actors perform in film, television, and theater, interpreting scripts and collaborating with directors and crews.
