Christina Applegate stars in the new Netflix dark comedy Dead to Me, and her performance as the acerbic and brazen real estate agent Jen Harding is spectacular to watch as a fan of her work. The 47-year-old actress makes her return to acting in the series after taking a hiatus from TV (she last starred in the 2012 NBC comedy Up All Night) and pours her heart into the role; the show follows Jen as she grieves the loss of her husband with the help of her newfound friend Judy (played by Linda Cardellini) after he's killed in a hit-and-run accident. While it isn't clear if Christina is anything like the hot-headed Jen Irl, there is one element of the character's life that she identifies with - undergoing a double mastectomy.
In the series, Jen opens up to Judy about a recent health scare. After Judy compliments her breasts, Jen retorts that they "aren't mine,...

Awww! It’s news like this that makes us turn into little balls of mush. Christina Applegateis pregnant and both she and her fiance, musician Martyn Lenoble, are over the moon. While that in itself is awesome news, consider the run that Applegate has had over the past couple of years. She was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to go through a double mastectomy followed by reconstructive surgery. It must’ve hit really close to home because she watched her mother, Nancy Priddy, go through the same disease. Applegate beat the cancer announcing, “Absolutely 100 percent clear and clean. It did not spread. They got everything out, so I’m definitely not going to die from breast cancer.” As if that wasn’t rough enough, she dealt with the death of her ex boyfriend Lee Grivas. That’s a lot to swallow. Fortunately, Lenoble has been around providing lots of...

After overcoming tough times, Christina Applegate likes to keep the good in her life and the bad out.
The stunning actress said at the Entertainment Industry Foundation's annual Revlon Run/Walk in Los Angeles, "Stress isn't something I really allow into my life. It creeps in but that's a huge thing, changing my diet, changing my want to make everyday the best that I can.”
The 38-year-old was joined at the event by an entourage of support, which included her mother Nancy Priddy, who was a fellow breast-cancer survivor, friends and 20 crew members from “Samantha, Who?”.
Applegate underwent a double mastectomy, but doesn’t let negativity effect her life. "I fall short. I get into self-pity and all of those things you do ... but at the end of the day, this is the day that I'm living and I need to rejoice in it," she says.

The 37-year-old actress is cancer-free since having a double mastectomy - after doctors diagnosed her with an early form of illness last year.
