Beloved star and Emmy-winning actress Christina Applegate's raw and
darkly funny memoir illuminates the life of a childhood star,
turned iconic comedic actress, turned tenacious example of how to
find the beauty in our messy lives.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, sparkling on
set with fellow comedy icons in the soon to be canonized franchise
Anchorman, sharing her love of dance 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 dive into the
darker moments underpinning her outward success: her relationship
with her mother who fought addiction and won, even in the wake of
her father's abandonment, the self-doubt and body dysmorphia that
have dogged her from a young age, and the abuse and depression that
eroded her health. Her path is ever lit though, by lifelong
friends, chosen family, and her experience as a mother. By working
through her legacy on the page, Applegate invites readers to take
her hand and hear a story not even those closest to her know
fully.You with the Sad Eyes boldly presents a formidable and
iconoclastic woman who has had to let go of her acting career, of
her ability to dance, of her sense of physical power, but has
always fought to find a new and even more fulfilling way of being.
The pain will be matched by the joy, the losses mitigated by the
extraordinary, the weight 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.",
