LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Christina Applegate has been diagnosed with breast cancer, a rep for the star confirmed to Access Hollywood.
“Christina Applegate was diagnosed with an early form of breast cancer,” a statement from the star’s rep to Access read. “Benefiting from early detection through a doctor ordered MRI, the cancer is not life threatening.”
The 36-year-old actress, who currently stars on ABC’s “Samantha Who?,” is undergoing undisclosed treatment for the cancer, the rep’s statement noted.
“Christina is following the recommended treatment of her doctors and will have a full recovery. No further statement will be issued at this time,” the statement concluded.
Earlier in the week, it was announced that the star was one of the many celebrities lined up to take part in “Stand Up To Cancer,” a benefit, airing on NBC, ABC and CBS September 5.
I hope she is cured.
Who is she?
Who is she?
Are you kidding. Kelly Bundy!
As a cancer patient myself, I truly wish her a speedy and complete recovery. I also ask that God watch over her.
Plays a great TV blond (if it's acting).
Very beautiful actress. Was in “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Deae” among other things. I was surprised she was that old.

She’s very pretty.
Hope she beats it.
Cancer is a nasty disease.
Very nasty, and for someone so young to get it. I also understand she was a health nut (I know she has been on several covers of my wife’s health and fitness magazines.)
Shows that the big C can strike anyone.
Loved her in “Just Visiting”...
I recall that about her as well. She stayed in shape and out of trouble and maintained her reputation as a professional and talented comedic actress.
Hope she beats this.
I enjoyed looking at her and her comedy in Married with Children.
I hope you both beat it and enjoy long, healthy, and happy lives
I sure hope she beats this. She’s had a rough couple of weeks. Her on/off boyfriend just died of a drug overdose. I believe drugs were why she finally kicked him to the curb. But from what I read she was very devastated by his death, not surprisingly.
Considering that “Married With Children” debuted 21 years ago, it would be surprising if she were any younger. Yes, I know, it seems like just yesterday to me too.
LOL yes, that’s the problem. Gosh, life is going by very fast!

She’s a brilliant actress with impeccable comedic timing. She (among others) makes my daughter proud to be blond.
Its been 20 years since Married With Children began.
