Performing began as a financial necessity and became an emotional escape from a tumultuous home life in the infamous Laurel Canyon scene of the 1970s and 80s. She first gained stardom as an audience favourite playing Kelly Bundy in the sitcom \u003ci\u003eMarried...with Children\u003c\/i\u003e and went on to captivate a vast fandom during her five-decade long career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eYou with the Sad Eyes\u003c\/i\u003e, Applegate will unveil the full story of her years in the public eye, and the painful moments the public didn't see. She writes about gravitating to the grunge that defined the 90s and finding belonging in the legendary scene at The Viper Room; sparkling on set with fellow comedy icons in the soon to be canonised franchise \u003ci\u003eAnchorman\u003c\/i\u003e; sharing her love of dance on stage in the Broadway revival of \u003ci\u003eSweet Charity\u003c\/i\u003e; and returning to the Emmy stage to a standing ovation in 2024 after her diagnosis of MS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShe'll dive into the darker moments underpinning her outward success: her relationship with her mother who fought addiction and won, even in the wake of her father's abandonment; the self-doubt and body dysmorphia that have dogged her from a young age; and the abuse and depression that eroded her health. Her path is ever lit, though, by lifelong friends, chosen family, and her experience as a mother. By working through her legacy on the page, Applegate invites readers to take her hand and hear a story not even those closest to her know fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eYou with the Sad Eyes\u003c\/i\u003e boldly presents a formidable and iconoclastic woman who has had to let go of her acting career, of her ability to dance, of her sense of physical power, but has always fought to find a new and even more fulfilling way of being. The pain will be matched by the joy, the losses mitigated by the extraordinary, the weight of life lifted by Applegate's signature comedic genius.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn her own words, \"I truly believe that books can make people feel less alone.
