Christina Applegate was a child actress who first found fame as Kelly Bundy, the dumb blonde daughter on the hit subversive sit-com "Married... With Children". The show ran from 1987 to 1997, and as she grew up before our eyes, Applegate also successfully leaped the gap that so many kid performers can't bridge and continued her successful career into adulthood.
Aside from her role on "Married... With Children", Applegate is perhaps best known for her starring turns in series such as "Jesse" (1998 - 2000), "Samantha Who?" (2007 - 2009) and her current series "Dead to Me", which is on Netflix. On the Big Screen, she led the cast in "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead" (1991) and shined in a supporting role in both "Anchorman" films, and in a favorite here at Shades of Gray, "Employee of the Month" (2007). And these are just a few of what you'll find on her still-growing list of credits.
Christina Applegate turns 50 today. We're celebrating this milestone with pictures... and we're thankful for the entertainment she's provided for us over the years!
