Christina Applegate Makes First Public Appearance Since MS Diagnosis
Held on November 14, Christina Applegate’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony symbolized something special for the actress. Because it showed her courage in returning after she revealed her MS diagnosis in spring 2021. However, the event also reflected how the pandemic changed everything, noted Variety.
Organizers initially planned the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony honoring Applegate for 2020. However, because of the pandemic, they postponed giving Christina her star on the Walk of Fame. As a result, the actress decided to share her MS diagnosis before the ceremony.
In her announcement on Twitter, Applegate made her disclosure while working on the third season of her Netflix comedy. That season also marked the last episode of the show, Dead to Me. And some of her co-stars from that show attended Christina’s Walk of Fame event.
