In troubling times, it’s invaluable to be in touch with those who can relate to your struggle. For actors Christina Applegate and Selma Blair, the two have been able to support each other through their diagnoses. When the “Cruel Intentions” star released her soul-baring 2022 memoir, “Mean Baby,” Applegate shouted out her friend’s work. “Get it,” she simply tweeted in response to the powerful book. “Congratulation MS sister.”
When the former child actor earned a spot on the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame in November 2022, Blair was at the ceremony to cheer on Applegate at one of her first appearances since her diagnosis. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight later that month, the “Legally Blonde” actor gushed about her and Applegate’s endless support for one another.

“Oh gosh, I’ve known Christina for so many years, we’re really close, and I’m just a fan of hers,” Blair reminisced. “Christina still supports me. She’s just a strong one. She really is. She’s such a nurturer. If you need something she’s at your house. There have been things that I had been unglued, and she’s like, ‘I’m outside. Answer the door.’ She’s just amazing and strong and fun.” Blair then revealed she helped Applegate when it came to getting and using a cane for mobility. “She has a lot on her plate. It’s a lot, but she’s as brilliant and beautiful as ever.”
