Christina Applegate was born in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, to record producer/executive Robert Applegate and singer-actress Nancy Priddy. Her parents split-up shortly after her birth. She has two half-siblings from her father's re-marriage - Alisa (b. October 10, 1977) and Kyle (b. July 15, 1981). Alisa and Christina are best friends and even lived together while Alisa was going to college. Christina's mother took her along on all of her auditions and acting jobs. She made her acting debut at age five months, when her mother got her in a commercial for Playtex nursers. Her mother never remarried, but kept company with Stephen Stills. Christina still cherishes a guitar Stephen gave her when she was young. She played in a number of TV series before landing her breakout role in Married... with Children (1987). Christina still studies jazz dance.

Did you know

Edit
  • Trivia
    Told that the script for Legally Blonde (2001) initially came her way but she was leery about taking on another "dumb blonde" role since Married... with Children (1987) had just wrapped. The role eventually went to Reese Witherspoon and she was nominated for the Golden Globe for portraying Elle Woods. Applegate is happy with the way things turned out and said that Witherspoon did a much better job than she ever could.
  • Quotes
    [on accepting her role in the sitcom Jesse (1998)] This was a major commitment. I really had to sit and think about it. I eventually came to the conclusion that it came into my life for a reason.
