injury, she had to wear special shoes to prevent another accident. In a 2013 interview, she said that
because of what happened, she "actually can't dance anymore. And that is sad for me because I always

Life. In 2015, she starred with Ed Helms in the National Lampoon sequel Vacation, the fifth full-
length movie episode of the road-trip comedies. They played Rusty Griswold and his wife, Debbie,

success. In 2016, she starred as Gwendolyn James in the comedy film Bad Moms with Mila Kunis,

Applegate married actor Johnathon Schaech in Palm Springs, California on October 20, 2001.[27]
Schaech filed for divorce in December 2005, citing irreconcilable differences,[27] and the divorce was
finalized in August 2007.[28] She began dating Dutch musician Martyn LeNoble in 2009. The couple
became engaged on Valentine's Day 2010[29] and married on February 23, 2013, at their Los Angeles
home.[30] It was the second marriage for both.[31] They have one
daughter, born in January 2011.[32] Applegate is a vegetarian[33] and

Health

People reported in 2008 that Applegate had been diagnosed with breast
cancer. A representative stated, "Christina Applegate was diagnosed with
an early stage of breast cancer. Detected early through a doctor-ordered
MRI, the cancer was not life-threatening. Christina is following the
recommended treatment of her doctors and will have a full recovery."[35]

although cancer had been found in only one breast.[36] She has an
PaleyFest in 2012
inherited genetic trait, a BRCA1[37] mutation, which can trigger breast
and ovarian cancer. Her mother is also a breast cancer survivor.
Applegate said when she first was diagnosed, "I was just shaking and then, also immediately, I had to
go into 'take-care-of-business mode,' which included a change to a more healthy diet."[37]

Applegate announced in August 2021 that she had received a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis a few
months before.[38] The disease heavily affected her ability to perform in the final season of Dead to
Me, for whose success she credits her co-star Linda Cardellini and showrunner Liz Feldman's support
and openness in making reasonable adjustments to her filming schedule.[39]

Applegate said in 2023 that because of her illness she probably would no longer act on camera, but
that she would be open to voiceover work, such as a planned animated revival of Married... with
Children. She would also consider working behind the scenes.[40][41]

Applegate has supported Entertainment Industry Foundation, Adopt-A-Classroom, The Motion
Picture and Television Fund Foundation, World Animal Protection, and the Trevor Project.[42] In
2003, she was the spokesman for the Lee National Denim Day, which raises millions of dollars for
breast cancer education and research.[43] Following her breast cancer diagnosis, she appeared on a
television special, Stand Up to Cancer, designed to raise funds for breast cancer research. The one-
hour special was broadcast on CBS, NBC and ABC television networks on September 5, 2008.[44]

In 2009, Applegate announced plans to return as the ambassador for Lee National Denim Day.[45]
Also in 2009, she founded Right Action for Women, a charitable foundation dedicated to breast-
cancer screening for women and focused on the type of MRI scan that saved her life.[46] In February
2015, she was awarded the Saint Vintage Love Cures Award at the 2nd annual unite4:humanity event
hosted by Variety magazine for her dedication to and work with Right Action for Women.[47]
