The First Public Appearance Of Christina Applegate Since Diagnosing MS!

The ‘Dead to Me’ star was diagnosed with the condition, way back in 2021. The star-studded ceremony was supposed to be held back in 2020, but it was postponed due to the pandemic. The actress released a statement on Twitter in the year 2021, announcing the world of her condition.

More On The Star-Studded Event

Christina Applegate’s former Married… With Children” co-stars Katey Sagal and David Faustino were guest speakers at the event. Both praised the star actress. The ceremony also saw the likes of Liz Feldman and Linda Cardellini honoring their colleague. Sagal spoke about the grit and strength of the actress, which has literally kept her on her feet, even in these hard times.

Liz Feldman called her a lioness. She was praised for always being active on the sets and for looking out for her colleagues. In fact, Cardellini said that she had signed the third and final series of ‘Dead to Me,’ just because Christina was there.

Linda Cardellini and Christina Applegate happen to be fast friends since the time they starred together in the hit series.
