Breast cancer survivor Applegate ‘People’s’ most beautiful

A lot of people struggle with body image because of a few extra pounds here or there, but no one would blame Christina Applegate if she had issues after her double mastectomy.

But her attitude after having both breasts removed has been truly beautiful and People magazine agrees, naming her the “most beautiful” person of 2009.

Applegate, 37, was diagnosed with an early, treatable form of breast cancer last fall, but chose the double mastectomy because of a family history of breast cancer. Even right after the procedure, she was upbeat, saying she would have the best breasts in the nursing home in her later years

She told People she credits her fight against breast cancer with giving her a “feeling of purpose.”

“You have to get through the physical transformations then buck up, go to work and try to be the normal, happy Christina for everyone around you,” she says.
