November 14 is officially Christina Applegate Day in Hollywood!
Christina Applegate finally got her moment on Hollywood Boulevard, and fans were ready to celebrate every second of it. The actress, best known to many as Kelly Bundy from Married...With Children, received the 2,740th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame after a long delay.
The ceremony marked a major milestone for the 51-year-old star, whose career has included Emmy and Golden Globe recognition, plus a beloved turn in Dead To Me.
After years of waiting, Christina's star finally had its place on the Boulevard, and the celebration came with plenty of love.
It was the actress' first public appearance since her MS diagnosis, and what a smashing way to make her second debut in Hollywood!
@1capplegateThe unveiling was livestreamed, and many people tuned in to witness the momentous occasion.
@WalkofFameStarChristina has wanted a star on the Boulevard since she was five years old.

Christina lovingly refers to her friends as her family, her people, and her loves.

Her TV brother, turned lifelong friend, David Faustino, recalled his fond memories with the actress.
He remembered seeing her during the casting for Married...With Children and how he thought she was the perfect person to play Kelly Bundy. Their joint trip to Israel and Egypt with both of their moms brought a smile to his face.

Katey, who played Peggy in Married...With Children, said she considers Christina one of life's teachers.
Apparently, this has been the case even when the actress was just 16 years old. The love between the actresses was palpable as Katey revealed that Christina still calls her Mommy.

Dead To Me's show creator, Liz Feldman, brought levity to the event as she said Christina is one of her generation's greatest actors, who also happens to have the humor of a 13-year-old boy and whose favorite word is 'butthole'!

The teary actress kept her speech short because she can't stand for too long; thankfully, Katey was there to support her, or as Christina said, "steal the show."

@aprilopenmybill
46 years ago, 5-year-old Christina Applegate was in line for Star Wars, wondering what she had to do to get a star on Hollywood Boulevard. Now, she has one of her own.
With the caliber of her acting chops, is anyone really surprised? We'll see you next year on November 14 to celebrate Christina Applegate Day!
Before the Walk of Fame shine, see how MS left Christina Applegate avoiding her reflection.
