The relentless pain and intense muscle spasms have driven her to stay home, cancel outings, and question her future in the very industry that made her a star. In 2023, Applegate received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame — a bittersweet moment that she dubbed “my beginning and my… my possible end.”
She also said the final season of “Dead to Me” holds a special place in her heart. However, it took extraordinary accommodations to film it.

From needing a sound tech to physically hold her legs steady during standing scenes to constant monitoring on set, Applegate’s pain was ever-present. Yet her appreciation for the production team was profound.
“We don’t know what my future as an actress is going to be,” she said. “How can I handle it? How can I go onto a set and call the shots of what I need as far as my boundaries, physically? I don’t know who is going to be as loving and understanding as this group of people were [sic].”
