nateboy · #1 (**permalink**) 05-02-2006, 03:37 PM

We all know Christina as Kelly Bundy but I loved her in Sweet Charity, which I was lucky enough to see.

Date of Birth: November 25, 1971
Location: L.A., California
Height: 5'5" (165 cm)
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Brown
Father: Robert Applegate

Mother: Nancy Priddy
(Former Actress/Model)
Siblings: half sister(Alisa) who lives with her, and a half brother(Kyle)
Background: made her debut @ age 3 in her mothers arms on "Days of our lives"

Appeared in several KMart commercials & TV shows as a child. Landed the role of 'Kelly Bundy' at 15

Christina is the daughter of record producer Robert Applegate and singer-actress, Nancy Priddy. Her parents split up shortly after her birth. She has two step-siblings from her father's re-marriage - Alisa (b. 1977) & Kyle (b. 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) in 1987. Christina still studies jazz dance.

Personal quotes

"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." - on accepting her role in the sitcom "Jesse" (1998).

"There are a lot of sacrifices a mother makes when she's raising a child by herself. I saw it when I was growing up, watching all my mother did for me. But it wasn't until recently that I fully understood the price she paid because of how we had to struggle."

"The person who I have my child with is going to be the right person. I don't want to raise a child by myself. I could do it. But I definitely don't want to. I want to be a mother who has the original father there. And I want to be with that person until I'm 80 years old, sitting out on the porch with our glasses of lemonade, laughing about our lives."

"The show definitely shocked and disgusted people. But, privately, they enjoyed laughing at it. I think all too often people look at the perfect families on television and think 'Why can't my family be like that?' In the case of "Married... with Children" (1987), people were able to say, 'Thank God my family's not like that!'" - on her sitcom "Married... with Children" (1987), which ran from 1987 to 1997.

"I've always been shy and sort of vulnerable. My mom says that when she would drop me off at school, I'd stand back and check out the situation - see if it was safe before I'd join the other kids."

"I wasn't one to go out and buy a new car and stereo system and expensive clothes. My mom helped keep me grounded." - on becoming a TV star in her teens

"We're best friends. And that spark is always there. I can't wait to see him, even though I saw him a few hours ago." - about her husband actor Johnathon Schaech.

"I started doing radio commercials for Kmart when I was 4. They had to splice all my consonants together because I couldn't talk very well. But these jobs helped my mother and me put food on the table. It took the two of us working."

"It was not easy for my mother, being a struggling actress and raising a child. We were these two sort of vagabonds, never knowing where the money was going to come from. She always says she couldn't afford a babysitter, which is why she put me on the stage."

"It's one of those choices that I can honestly say was a big mistake. I wish I had a better knowledge of history and the other things I could've learned. Of course, nothing is stopping me from learning now. In fact, I'm probably better prepared." - on having quit school

"Every single kid in my group of friends at school was from a single-parent family."

Wow. That's way more than I wanted to know about Christina Applegate. I didn't see anything about contacts lenses though, did you?

She's got brown eyes, so I guess that's something. She doesn't appear to be wearing color contacts in that picture.

I wonder if a lot of people still think she's as ditzy as Kelly Bundy?

That picture really highlights Ms. Applegate's eyes and--incredibly--downplays everything else.

Why did you write she has brown eyes? Even in the picture you added, her eyes are clearly green.
She wears colour lenses?

I think you're right, Ofer. I tried to find a picture of Christina Applegate with brown eyes, but I couldn't find any. They look greenish in all the pictures I saw. "Nateboy" probably found a web page with biographical information and just copied and pasted it. Apparently, not all of that information was correct.
As far as I know, Ms. Applegate does not wear colored contact lenses. If she does, she wears them in every picture, which is certainly possible for a Hollywood celebrity.

Ofer · #9 (**permalink**) 10-06-2010, 11:33 AM

When I found out Jennifer Aniston wears blue lenses I was very disappointed..
With all the surgeries and these fake ways to make yourself look better, you don't know how does a person naturally look..

Yeah, especially in Hollywood.

Still, in the case of Jennifer Anniston, do we really want to know what she looks like, or do we really want her to look like Rachael Green from Friends?

That's a good question, Juicer. Me, personally, my world would not come crashing down if Jennifer Anniston doesn't look exactly like her character Rachel. The show ended what, five years ago?

Yeah, I bet ThaMaster had to pass over a lot of pictures in order to find that nice one of Ms. Applegate. What a way to make a living. "I got paid gobs of cash to wear slutty clothes and pretend I was really dumb."
However, I have to say that it takes someone who's pretty smart to play a character who's really dumb. I know some dim bulbs who try to "play dumb" and it just doesn't work. They're not smart enough to pull it off.

She's got pretty eyes, too.

Yes, she does have beautiful light brown eyes. Just think how long they went unnoticed.

Yeah, I wonder how many people could tell me what color Christina Applegate's eye are? I'd probably have to ask if they know what color eyes Kelly Bundy has. I couldn't tell you because I never watched Married . . . With Children except maybe one time, and it was like torture.

As far as I know, Ms. Applegate does not wear colored contact lenses. If she does, she wears them in every picture, which is certainly possible for a Hollywood celebrity.

I found an article in People Magazine in which Ms. Applegate describes her own ee color: "My eyes and my eye color, which completely changes depending on what environment I'm in. My driver's license says 'hazel green' since that's what my mother always told me they were. But they have brown and gold and green in them, and they change colors."

http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20277171,00.html

So there. Christina Applegate's eyes are "hazel green . . . . [with] brown and gold and green in them, and they change colors." So green . . . with brown and gold, and they change colors.

Can I help you with any more questions?

Reminds me of a story I heard. Some guys were moving stuff out of a second story apartment. Rather than take everything down the stairwell, they dropped the small stuff from the balcony onto a mattress on the ground. Well, there was a cabinet that they didn't want, so they just let it drop to the ground. It hit with a crash and one of the movers said "Aw, we scratched it!"

True story.

Nope. I tried, Trixie. Of all the things Christina Applegate has done on TV, apparently, getting muddy was not one of them.

Here's a picture of her elegantly dressed, and showing her green-grey eyes. What color would you say her eyes are? Would any of you say definitely green or definitely grey?

She always seems to have those brown eyes.

Even as Kelly Bundy.
