Christina Applegate’s performance on the NBC sitcom Friends earned her a Primetime Emmy nomination (2002–2003). Applegate was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008, according to a People magazine article.

Her mother was also afflicted with the disease. Applegate revealed in August 2021 that she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis a few months earlier.
