Barefoot and using a cane to support herself, Applegate became emotional while delivering a speech at her Walk of Fame ceremony. Her "Married with Children" co-stars Katey Sagal and David Faustino and "Dead to Me" co-stars Linda Cardellini and Liz Feldman also gave speeches.
The actress, 50, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis while filming the third and final season of the comedy (streaming Thursday on Netflix). It was as "hard as you would possibly think it would be," she told Variety in an interview published last Wednesday.
"I got diagnosed while we were working," Applegate recalled. "I had to call everybody and be like, ‘I have multiple sclerosis, guys.’ ... And then it was about kind of learning – all of us learning – what I was going to be capable of doing." In a revealing New York Times profile published Nov. 1, the actress shared that she "put on 40 pounds" and couldn't "walk without a cane" as a result of the pain from MS. With MS, the body's immune system begins attacking the central nervous system, according to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, triggering various neurological symptoms.
