Celebrity Heights: Christina Applegate

Profile: Christina Applegate

There is little doubt the role of "Kelly Bundy" has been a critical role for Christina, but her role as "Kelly" is totally opposite to the real life of Christina. The final curtain fell on "Married... with Children" in 1997 after eleven seasons. Christina was disappointed in leaving her TV family, but she now looks forward to leaving behind the schedule of limitations and is now free to pursue other acting opportunities.

Christina has the girl-next-door good looks and sexy innocent charm, her onscreen roles in series such as Silver Spoons, Still the Beaver, Father Murphy, Heart of the City, Mama's Family, Quincy, and Family Ties as well as films, like the made-for-TV film "The Grace Kelly Story". There was no doubt that acting was her given talent.

Christina was born on Thanksgiving Day, November 25th, 1971, in Los Angeles, California. Her mother Nancy is a former Actress/Singer and has been a driving influence in Christina's life and her father Robert is a former Recording Company Executive. Her parents divorced when she was very young and Christina lived with her mother during her formative years. Christina once remarked in an interview that she has been an actress since "she popped out".

Her acting debut came in her mother's arms at three months of age while Nancy played her regular role in the Soap Opera "Days of our Lives". From this moment on, Christina's future in acting was a done deal. At the age of seven she performed in several commercials for KMart. Christina became a success and has continued ever since.

Christina then appeared in several movies and TV shows and at the age of fifteen landed her best known role as Kelly Bundy in the successful sitcom "Married... with Children". This role brought her to the attention of the American public and the international community.

Christina currently resides in Hollywood Hills, California with her menagerie of pets and owns a resturant in Los Angeles. An accomplished dancer, Christina has studied numerous varieties of jazz dance and, when not working, dances between 15 and 20 hours per week.
