The former TV daughter of America, Christina Applegate has returned from an adolescent career of dysfunctional families to pursue a film career that has put her back on the map and in the hearts of millions of horny men. While her last film placed the blonde beauty in a pair of dirty boxers for all to see, Christina always looks her best. Born into a family of entertainers, Christina made her TV debut at three months old on the daytime soap "Days of Our Lives." She continued to pop up in TV Land for the next few years on hit shows like "21 Jump Street ," Family Ties," "Silver Spoons" and "Charles in Charge ." Christina finally got her big break in 1991 when she was offered the role as Kelly Bundy, the ditsy daughter of family man Al Bundy, on the low-blow comedy "Married With Children ." Christina instantly became a star, landing her unforgettable face on the TV sets of men all over the world for six straight years. During her time on the show, Christina also broke into film in a number of teen comedies like "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead," along with a number of easily forgettable roles.
After the show was cancelled in 1997, Christina returned to the big screen in the campy, hitman comedy "The Big Hit" and the slapstick comedy "Mafia!" When Christina made a stake at primetime television again in 1998 with the NBC sitcom, "Jesse," the show's critical acclaim wasn't enough to offset the horrible ratings and was cancelled after only two years on the air. Though the show didn't last long enough to regain Christina's former star status, the raunchy actress continued to create a new career that would no longer typecast her as the blonde bimbo. Christina's most recent projects have catapulted her back into the public eye, with roles in "The Sweetest Thing " and a guest appearance on "Friends" that won her an Emmy for "Best Guest Actress in a Comedy." We're not the only ones who have noticed that Christina has maintained her great looks and sexy figure, but if she was placed up against some of today's hottest female actresses, she wouldn't have a fighting chance. As Christina continues to remake a name for herself in Hollywood, her undeniable Allure will continue to make men drool.
