You with the Sad Eyes: A Memoir by Christina Applegate

 

You With the Sad Eyes: A Memoir by Christina Applegate. Little Brown and Company, 2026. Memoir. 

Best known for her acting roles in Married With Children, Samantha Who?, and Dead to Me, Christina Appegate tells of her life. Two of her proudest accomplishments are her role on Broadway in Sweet Charity and her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

 Diagnosed with breast cancer, she underwent a mastectomy. Now, diagnosed with MS, she has become a spokesperson for living with the disease and has launched a podcast on the subject.

This is not a tell all memoir. Applegate does not give names for some of the main characters who have influenced her life. She does not detail all of the early abuse shown to her. But, it is an honest tale, told from her heart. Journal entries and family tales are part of her journey shared here. Her grit and determination shine through every page.
