Specifications
Christina Applegate came of age on sets and stages, expected to be on time, with lines learned, ready for lights-camera-action. Performing began as a financial necessity and became an emotional escape from a tumultuous home life in the infamous Laurel Canyon scene of the 1970s and 80s. She first gained stardom as an audience favorite playing Kelly Bundy in the sitcom Married...with Children and went on to captivate a vast fandom during her five-decade-long career.
In You with the Sad Eyes, Applegate will unveil the full story of her years in the public eye, and the painful moments the public didn’t see. She writes about gravitating to the grunge that defined the 90s and finding belonging in the legendary scene at The Viper Room; shining on set with fellow comedy icons in the soon-to-be-canonized franchise Anchorman; sharing her love of dance on stage in the Broadway revival of Sweet Charity; and returning to the Emmy stage to a standing ovation in 2024 after her diagnosis of MS.
She'll delve into the darker moments underlying her outward success: her relationship with her mother who fought addiction and succeeded, even after her father's abandonment; the self-doubt and body dysmorphia that have challenged her from a young age; and the abuse and depression that eroded her health. Her journey is always illuminated through the support of lifelong friends, chosen family, and her experience as a mother.
By sharing her story on the page, Applegate invites readers to take her hand and hear a story even those closest to her do not fully know. You with the Sad Eyes boldly presents a formidable and iconoclastic woman who has had to let go of her acting career, her ability to dance, her sense of physical power, but who has always fought to find a new and even more fulfilling way of being. The pain will be balanced by joy, losses softened by the extraordinary, and the heaviness of life lifted by Applegate's signature comedic genius.
In her own words, "I truly believe that books can make people feel less alone. That's why I'm doing this. You with the Sad Eyes won't be some big violin scratching for my life. But it will be real. It will be filled with the ups and downs, the humor and grief of life. So here I am. Real me. Lots to say."
