APPLEGATE
Witty, attractive, and gifted with a singular presence, Christina Applegate has engraved herself in Hollywood as a talent of profound range. Her career launched on the smash-hit Fox TV sitcom Married with Children (1987-1997), in which, playing Kelly Bundy, Christina marked her career breakthrough—and secured her lasting fame. Building upon that success, Christina’s uncommon skills as a comedic and dramatic actress helped her win starring roles in such films as Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead (1991), The Sweetest Thing (2001), and Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004). Christina’s rare talent won her an Emmy Award in 2003 for “Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series” (for her performance in an episode of Friends), and a 1999 People's Choice Award for “Favorite Female Performer in a New Television Series” (for her title role on the sitcom Jesse). In 2004, Christina marked her Broadway debut playing the title role of Charity Hope Valentine in a revival of the musical Sweet Charity—in the process securing a nomination for a 2005 Tony Award for “Best Actress in a Musical.” Today, Christina stars in the ABC comedy Samantha Who? and also plays Elizabeth Montgomery in the feature film Everything Is Going to Be Just Fine, due out later in 2009.
