Description
"Funny, furious, and profane." —The New York Times “Not your typical celebrity memoir.” —Jimmy Kimmel Unflinchingly honest and darkly funny, You with the Sad Eyes unveils a side of Christina Applegate we’ve never seen, forever cementing her formidable and iconoclastic legacy. Christina Applegate came of age on sets and stages, expected to be on time, with lines learned, ready for lights- camera-action. What started as a financial necessity soon became an emotional escape from a tumultuous home life in the infamous Laurel Canyon scene of the 70s and 80s. She rocketed to stardom on the sitcom Married...with Children and went on to captivate audiences in classics like Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitters Dead…, Anchorman, and Dead to Me in her five-decade long career. Then it all stopped. A Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis in 2021 confined her to a king-sized bed and the company of memories she’d rather forget: memories of the self- doubt and body dysmorphia that stalked her meteoric rise, of her mother’s fight against addiction and abuse after her father left, and of the tax life had taken on her body and mind that was suddenly coming due. Now, at her most intimate and vulnerable, she unveils a story not even those closest to her fully know. She returns to the diaries she kept her whole life, finding the pain matched by joy, the losses mitigated by the extraordinary, and the weight of life lifted by her unrelenting belief that something greater lay ahead. No longer willing to lock herself away and with the perspective only our own mortality can bring, she knew it was imperative to tell it all. You with the Sad Eyes presents a remarkable woman and her legacy. In her own words, “I truly believe that books can make people feel less alone. That’s why I’m doing this. You with the Sad Eyes won’t be some big violin scratching for my life. But it will be real. It will be filled with the ups and downs, the humor and grief of life. So here I am. Real me. Lots to say.” Read more

I have loved Christina Applegate since she burst onto our screens as Kelly Bundy in Married with Children. Big bangs, cool clothes and a role that required far more comedic precision than anyone gave her credit for at the time. She followed that with Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead, a cult classic my friends and I still quote to this day. Feeling gratitude as she held her own opposite Will Ferrell (in addition to his anchor-posse of a mega talented folks), as the razor-sharp Veronica Corningstone in Anchorman, and built a career defined by intelligence, impeccable timing, and an undeniable ability to command any room she walked into. I thought the real her was what I complied from the shows, movies and interviews I’ve seen. This book proved me wrong, but in the best possible way. What Applegate has written here is not a celebrity memoir. It is a reckoning. Real, raw, and unflinching, she pulls back the curtain on a life lived largely in service of others’ entertainment while quietly battling battles no one could see. So many women do this and I love that she is breaking the stigma and allowing us to give ourselves permission to not be okay. Her wit is alive on every page, but so is her vulnerability, and it is that combination of humor and heartbreak walking hand in hand that makes this book impossible to put down. The moment that wrecked me completely was learning that acknowledging her own success has caused years of trauma. That early in her career, when she dared to express pride in herself, someone responded with a dismissive “you’re doing it” and that those three small words cast a long, suffocating shadow over everything she accomplished afterward. It made me tear up for the young woman who opened up only to be torn down and betrayed by a person who should have been jumping up and down WITH her and turning that phrase into a positive mantra. Think about that. Decades of extraordinary work. A legacy that genuinely moved the needle for women in comedy and on screen. And all of it filtered through the lens of a wound inflicted by one careless, diminishing remark. It is heartbreaking. It is also painfully relatable for anyone who has ever been made to feel that their joy was too big, their pride unearned, or their success something to apologize for. So profound that it wasn’t glossed over in the book, it was a constant reminder throughout to NEVER let someone cast shade where sunshine should be. What I hope most is that she truly sees herself the way we see her. That she kicks that voice to the curb once and for all. Because Christina Applegate has not just “done it.” She has done it brilliantly, persistently, and on her own terms, through obstacles that would have felled anyone less determined. She has made women laugh, feel seen, and stand a little taller. This book is her best performance yet, and this time, she wrote every word herself. You did it. And I will use those three words to make a positive difference for my teen daughter so that her generation of women grow to applaud, celebrate and support accomplishments and every time a young woman is celebrated, know that spark of happiness, the joy and excitement of their success is because of you. You did that for us, for them, and we thank you

It's everything you hope an autobiography will be. It's brutally honest, insightful, funny. She has a flair for writing, not just the book, but her frequent quotes and citations from the journals she kept from adolescence. Several themes develop throughout the writing, but the most touching is her determination to detach and distinguish herself from her Christina-Applegate persona. You'll also enjoy reading about her childhood in Laurel Canyon and the whole scene back in the 70s/80s. The best biographies bring the subject's childhood setting back to life. She does a great job with that. Captivating look into the lives of childhood stars. If you enjoy audiobooks, make sure to get this book in that format. Her voice talent adds a whole new dimension. She's very funny and at times heartbreaking by way of her narration. 5-Stars for sure.

I've never even seen Married with Children, but can recall mnay of her other roles including the underrated Don't Tell Mom the Babysitters dead. What an incredibly difficult childhood, but she weathered through and went on to overcome a lot of the pain she endured from childhood on. Some people go through a lot in their lives and she certainly has. I found it very honest, heartbreaking at times and overall a good read.

What a REMARKABLE story teller Christina Applegate (aka KiKi) is. From one Her reading her own life journey was very raw, and full of relatable emotions. When she cried I found myself crying, when she laughed, I too was laughing, and when she shared her struggles, I realized her struggles have been the same as my struggles down to us both having breast cancer and bilateral mastectomy both in the fall of 2008. I'm 47, I do not have MS, however my mother does, so I know those struggles as well. Thank you so much Kiki for writing your story, for sharing your truth, and telling the world that its okay not to be okay. May Kiki forever have more good hours or days than bad. May I be lucky enough to visit your rightfully deserved Hollywood STAR one day, only to find you there telling fables.🤭❤️🫂 Side Note- She shares that her career is over, I refuse to believe that. I believe like the early days of mapquest its just guiding her on an unplanned & unwanted detour. But because she is clearly such an amazing talent, story teller and an amazing writer, I believe her life story is not finished. I for one would LOVE to see her writing and narrating her own Laurel Canyon series based on her upbringing, because the stories she shared in THIS BOOK be were SO DELICIOUS & JUICY that I just found myself wanting to know MORE of that era of her life. Especially since she had the wherewithal to keep journals not only through that period of her life, but throughout her entire life, I NEED that series.❤️

I just finished You With the Sad Eyes and felt compelled to tell you how much it meant to me. For so many years we have loved the “Christina Applegate” we see on screen, but this book lets us meet the real person behind it. And I think I speak for so many people when I say we love this unveiled version of you just as much, if not more. What struck me most was how raw and honest the book is. It is funny, deeply personal, and completely unfiltered. Listening to your podcast, I remember thinking to myself that you were not sugarcoating anything at all. This book shows exactly why. The authenticity is powerful. When you shared that the people who truly know you call you “Kiki” it felt like readers were being invited a little closer into your real world. And I think that’s what makes this book so special. We have loved the “Christina Applegate” the world has known for years, but getting to meet Kiki, the honest, vulnerable, funny, and deeply human version of you, is something truly meaningful. Your storytelling is incredibly engaging. The way you connect moments from different parts of your life and bring them back together keeps the reader fully invested. Your reflections on living with MS are heartbreaking and brave at the same time. And the love you have for your daughter comes through on every page in a way that is impossible not to feel. Thank you for sharing yourself so openly. This book is powerful because it is real, and that authenticity is exactly why it resonates so deeply. We have always loved Christina Applegate, but getting to know Kiki is a gift.

Christina, one of my favorite actresses, writes in a way that, in my opinion, could use a really good editor because there is so much jumping around different time frames in the book. So much of her story is very negative, and there are parts that would seem negative to the reader, yet she paints a happy picture of certain things that does not make a lot of sense to me, I won’t mention what because I don’t want to do spoilers, but it is her story and she can write it any way she wants and feel any way she wants about the things she went through. I wish she would have wrote a little more about other things in her life but she leaves out several years at a time without saying more than a couple sentences about things such as her first marriage. Again, her memoir, her choice. It is an interesting memoir and I wish her all the best.

This is a complex memoir and somewhat heartbreaking to read. The reason I bought the book is twofold. One, because my mother had MS and I wanted to know about Christina’s thoughts and experiences, especially since she also had a child. And two, because she had a lifelong career that started when she was very young and because she grew up in the industry. It never ceases to amaze me how people who are living what most people consider the dream (fame) often suffer from self-esteem and sometimes self-hatred even though they are physically beautiful. This book showed how real her life was in all of its harshness and beauty. It skipped around a bit so it often felt confusing. It did not have a linear timeline. Then I saw her intention was to share lessons or experiences and how they shaped her life. I did not care for her frequent use of her favorite curse word- but saw that she used it to express strong emotion and that she revealed her true thoughts when using that word. So I just tried to not let it pollute my overall assessment of the memoir. My other thought was how she often repeated feelings or memories and how they sometimes even contradicted each other. But isn’t that messy, just like real life? And her raw honesty about abuse that happened to her was impressive. As a young child her mind would black out what a child shouldn’t remember. As a young adult how she ended up staying in relationships that she needed to leave was a great example of how dysfunctional relationships work in real life and how the mind tries to make sense of what is so very wrong because it is also so painful to leave. This was a brave and honest memoir and in my opinion, worth reading. It’s very trauma-informed and insightful. In short, this is my favorite kind of book because it makes you think about life on a deeper level as you process things.
