Christina Applegate to Publish Memoir ‘You With the Sad Eyes’ (Exclusive)

I'll see you in court, bimbo!

I like her. Hope she spills the tea. All of it.

LOVE Christina Applegate! I'll definitely read this.

Her father died a few months ago at 90. Nancy is still alive.

Nancy was a groupie and would try setting Christina up for sex with their sons. Incredibly creepy. They were also living on food stamps. Christina cared for her while her mother had cancer. Christina calls Katey Sagal and Ed O’Neill her parents for a reason. Her bio parents were out to lunch.

She’d set Christina up for sex with the sons of rock stars, or with her own sons, ie Christina’s brothers?

She got to add Broadway star to her resume. That's pretty big when the show is riding on you.

She just did Katy Sagal and her husband Kurt Sutter's podcast. It was a good listen.

Always have loved Christina and will get this, too. I hope it was cathartic to some helpful degree for her and wish her the best with her life-challenging health obstacles. I recall many years back her mentioning in an interview that Mary Tyler Moore was one of her career inspirations. Christina seems to be a trouper and is very talented.

[quote]She’d set Christina up for sex with the sons of rock stars, or with her own sons, ie Christina’s brothers?

Christina has one brother and no, the sons of the musicians she hooked up with in the 60s.

Katey Sagal has alluded to Christina having had a really chaotic childhood and life. I expect there to be some really explosive things in this.

She has mentioned that she was anorexic during her Married With Children days and the years after that. An anorexic often grows fine fur on their body, called lanugo. There is a scene in Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead where she’s backlit and it’s quite noticeable.

I’ll be reading it.

I don't think I've ever seen anything she's starred in, but I've always really liked her. She emanated humor and coolness.

I bet she has a ton of dirt about 90s stars (aka my teenage years), so this might be a celeb memoir I actually care about.

[quote]Katey Sagal has alluded to Christina having had a really chaotic childhood and life.

They speak of it in the podcast at R8.

She dated Brad Pitt, Billy Wirth, Johnny Depp, RIchard Grieco, was there when River Phoenix died, and has been in the business since she was a pre-teen, so she's seen a LOT.

Dead To Me is one of my all time favorites, and very, very DL.

I love her and the movie Just Visiting where her French ancestor (played by Jean Reno) time travels with his medieval slave to modern-day Chicago. Hilarious.

Her first acting job was when she was just a few weeks old on Days of Our Lives. She’s worked non-stop as an actress from before she was 1. She even did baby commercials. Her resume was longer than the entire cast of Married with Children put together.

[quote] She got to add Broadway star to her resume. That's pretty big when the show is riding on you.

I saw it on Broadway and its run had been imperiled by her injury in out-of-town tryouts (Chicago, I think). She was really good. One of the rare TV stars of her generation whose appeal, humor and charm actually translated to the stage. I'm surprised she didn't do more theatre.

^Sweet Charity?

I loved her as the Jessica Savitch proxy, Veronica Corningstone in Anchorman. She totally got the self-important second wave feminist bimbo vibe that local tv news brought to the fore in the 1970s.

She was pretty terrific in Sweet Charity. She broke her foot during a performance when the show was trying out and, miraculously, was back dancing on it a month or so later when the show moved to Broadway. Fran and Barry wanted to close it after her injury but Christina put her own money into the show to get it to Broadway. Bad production but she was great.

Was she ever nominated for an Emmy for best supporting actress for her role as Kelly Bundy?

If not, what a travesty.

Even as a teenager, she had some serious comedic chops.

Her speech when she got her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was wonderful.

Hollywood fucking LOVES her.

George Harrison was obsessed with her when she was on Married with Children and would send her letters and calls which creeped her out.

I hope she does an in-depth recounting of the interpretative dance she performed at The Viper Room to commemorate River's overdose!

"This is Fosse!"

Loved her Jillian Chizz.

I love her. I think she is true bright light amidst all of the apparent darkness. Hoping for the best for her.

[quote] Was she ever nominated for an Emmy for best supporting actress for her role as Kelly Bundy?

No. "Married... with Children" was really hated in the industry while it was running, despite all the undeniable talent on the show. It was seen as obnoxious and pro-conservative for the time. Now it seems very tame.

I used to be obsessed with the segment in that episode of MWC where she’s dancing to “Fever” with Jesse Borrego from Fame, who played the hot school janitor.

She was married to hottie Jonathon Schaech for a time.
