As a teenage boy, I liked Christina Applegate. (A lot.) Now that I'm older, I still do, although for more mature different reasons.

After starting out as jiggle-type eye candy on "Married With Children," she has managed to have a career that is much longer and more successful than most actors, and arguably has done the best of anyone on that show. She's on her third sitcom, and even though the second, "Jesse", wasn't a huge hit, it did run for three seasons. She's nominated for an Emmy Award for "Samantha Who?"

She also recently announced that she has had a double mastectomy. Cancer was found in one breast, and she decided to be cautious and remove them both. To top it off, she's making jokes about it. "I’m going to have cute boobs 'til I'm 90, so there’s that…I'll have the best boobs in the nursing home. I’ll be the envy of all the ladies around the bridge table." (This refers to the reconstructive surgery she's going to have.)
