This attractive, blonde actress is best known for her portrayal of nymphet Kelly Bundy, on the long-running Fox sitcom "Married... With Children" (1987-97). Applegate's career began at the age of three months when she appeared in her mother's arms on the daytime soap "Days of Our Lives". After eight years away from the industry she made a small turn in the little-seen film "Jaws of Satan" (1979). From there she did a series of guest spots on such TV series as "Quincy", "Amazing Stories" and "Family Ties" before receiving her first break when cast as a regular on the short-lived series "Heart of the City" (ABC, 1986-87). Once she had become established as the dumb blonde sexpot on "Married... With Children", the actress sought to stretch by appearing in such features as "Streets" (1990) and "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead" (1991). In the latter, Applegate essayed an enterprising teenager who fakes a resume and lands an important job while her mother is out of town and demonstrated that she was more than a bimbo. After supporting roles in "Wild Bill" (1995) and "Mars Attacks!" (1996), she undertook the role of the WASPish bride of a mobster in the lame farce "Mafia!" (1998). Applegate appeared to much better effect as a scion of a wealthy family who turns to stripping in "Claudine's Return" (also 1998). A more assured, grown-up performer, she also returned to series TV in the fall of 1998 as a single mother in the NBC sitcom "Jesse," created by the production team behind "Friends." While most praised her leading performance, many critics felt the vehicle was unworthy of her talents. Although the series debuted in the cushy 8:30 p.m. time slot on Thursdays (sandwiched between "Friends" and "Frasier"), its ratings were somewhat disappointing and the series was canceled in 2000 after two seasons. Applegate bounced back with a fine supporting role as Cameron Diaz's sidekick in the girls-can-be-raunchy-too film comedy "The Sweetest Thing" (2002). The following year, she joined Gwyneth Paltrow and Mike Myers for the flop airplane comedy "View From The Top" on the big screen, and won a comedy guest actress Emmy for her stint on "Friends" as Rachel's (Jennifer Aniston's) shallow, self-absorbed sister Amy, a role she would reprise in the sit-com's final season. She also tiptoed into big screen dramatic roles, playing the small but crucial role of Susan Launius, the only survivor of the infamous 1981 Wonderland Avenue murders in Los Angeles involving porn legend John Holmes, in the dizzying but unsatisfying "Wonderland" (2003). With her film career gathering steam, she next appeared opposite Will Ferrell in the 1970s-set comedy "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgandy" (2004) as pioneering anchorwoman Veronica Corningstone, who resists Burgandy's attempts to keep a woman out of a power position in his newsroom, followed by a turn as Ben Affleck's rented "sister"-turned-love interest in the dismal holiday comedy "Survivng Christmas" (2004). Applegate, who frequently danced with Hollywood's trendy Pussycat Dolls toup in the early 2000s, was expected to make her Broadway debut as '60s dance-hall dame Charity Hope Valentine in the Broadway revival of Bob Fosse's "Sweet Charity" slated for April 2005. The production was derailed when Applegate broke her foot during preview performances in March and had to be replaced by her understudy and early word on the production was tepid. But after the formal debut was canceled, Applegate appealed to her producers and the show was rescheduled to debut in May 2005 at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre. Filmography > Tilt-A-Whirl (2005) ....
