Christina Applegate

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000775/

One of the mainstays of the 90’s was “Married with Children”. It was a classic deconstruction of the TV of the 40’s and 50’s with its perfect families. The dysfunctional family provided for us the perfect representation of the ‘dumb blonde’ though. Kelly Bundy was ahead of her time for TV since today’s landscape is full of dumb attention-seeking characters but those are reality-TV stars just being themselves.
There is something of a tragedy with Christina Applegate in that she suffered from breast cancer and has had a double mastectomy. For a woman whose body was such a focus for so many years playing the ‘Ms. Fanservice’ character on “Married with Children”, it just seems like bitter irony.

Movies I've watched her in: Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead; Mars Attacks!; Married with Children; Hall Pass
