Christina Applegate, born on November 25th, 1971, in sunny Los Angeles, California, is one of Hollywood’s most beloved and versatile stars. With a career spanning more than four decades, she’s practically grown up on screen—evolving from teen icon to respected actress and producer. Christina first stole hearts as the hilariously ditzy but lovable Kelly Bundy on the long-running sitcom Married… with Children, a role that made her a household name and cemented her place in TV history. Her razor-sharp comedic timing and on-screen charm led to fan-favorite roles in cult classics like Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead and Mars Attacks!, where she proved she could shine in both quirky and offbeat roles.
But Christina has never been one to stay in just one lane. She’s shown off her serious side in films like The Sweetest Thing and the critically acclaimed Netflix series Dead to Me, where she gave one of her most powerful performances to date—earning her multiple award nominations and tons of praise for her emotional depth and vulnerability. Beyond acting, she’s produced shows, lent her voice to animated hits, and used her celebrity status to advocate for causes close to her heart, including breast cancer awareness following her own diagnosis and recovery. Through it all, Christina has remained refreshingly honest, down-to-earth, and relatable, becoming an inspiration for so many people facing challenges of their own.
These days, Christina continues to be a force in Hollywood and beyond, whether she’s lighting up the red carpet, speaking out for health advocacy, or simply making us laugh with her signature wit. With so much already behind her and still so much ahead, there’s always more to celebrate and discover about this dynamic and resilient star.
