46 Photos of Christina Applegate's Hollywood Evolution? I'm Right on Top of That, Rose

Christina Applegate [1]'s name has been in the news recently thanks to her incredible performance in the new Netflix series Dead to Me [2]. While she more than deserves this massive shine [3], I think it's worth reminding everyone that Ms. Applegate is not new to this — in fact, the 47-year old actress has been in the game since she was literally in nappies, having starred in a Playtex baby bottle commercial when she was only five months old.

Since then, she's racked up major TV and film credits — my personal favourites include Married With Children, The Sweetest Thing [4] and Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead [5] — and even appeared on stage in productions like The Axeman's Jazz and Sweet Charity, which earned her a Tony nomination in 2005. Let us also not forget the fact that she once ditched Brad Pitt halfway through a date [6]. Iconic.

With the Applegate resurgence upon us and Dead to Me officially getting a second season [7], I thought this would be a perfect time to reflect on Christina's impressive Hollywood evolution.
