Christina Applegate makes first public appearance since MS diagnosis – getting her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame

Walking barefoot along Hollywood's iconic Walk of Fame on Monday, award-winning actor Christina Applegate was beaming as she accepted her own mark among the stars. It was Applegate's first public appearance in more than a year, since she disclosed in August 2021 that she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. 

"This day means more to me than you could possibly imagine," she said as she accepted her star decades after she got her start in the industry. 

The actor, who will be 51 on November 25, has starred in dozens of productions, landing her first iconic role as Kelly Bundy in "Married... with Children" in 1987. She went on to star in "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead," "Anchorman," "Samantha Who?" and most recently, "Dead to Me."
