Christina Applegate May Not Act Again After MS Diagnosis
By Movieguide® Contributor
Longtime actress Christina Applegate revealed her uncertainty in Hollywood as she deals with multiple sclerosis diagnosis.
Last fall, Applegate received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It was there she told Variety TV, “Thank you so much for being so understanding as I journey through this new part of my life. Not knowing if I’m gonna continue on to – to act anymore. I don’t know if I can, I’d love to. I do miss it. I miss it so much. I just don’t know. As a daily struggle to walk and to kind of move, and stuff.
“We don’t know what my future as an actress is going to be,” she added. “How can I handle it? How can I go onto a set and call the shots of what I need as far as my boundaries, physically?”
Applegate recalled her time on the Netflix series DEAD TO ME as being painful but also gratifying.
“I could see the excruciating pain I was in every day I was there and I didn’t want to relive it,” she stated.
“I had to take it in little tiny doses but I think it is a beautiful piece of work. I’m so grateful to Liz [Feldman] for seeing I had it in me,” she explained of the show’s director.
Applegate’s uncertainty of her career in front of the camera is still to be determined, but she has started to work on other projects such as voice acting and podcasts.
Please pray for Applegate’s healing and that she comes to know Christ as her Savior.
