Christina Applegate Tops People's "Most Beautiful" List

Christina Applegate is People's Most Beautiful Star of 2009.

Joining the Samantha Who? star in this year's Top 5 are Halle Berry, the female stars of 90210, Ciara, and Zac Efron. Also making the list are Dancing with the Stars' Julianne Hough (No. 9), Michelle Obama (No. 12), Kristen Wiig (No. 16) and Angelina Jolie (No. 17).

Applegate — who underwent a double mastectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer last summer — shared her approach to overcoming obstacles. "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 told the magazine.

The actress, 37, described how she's matured. "I used to be really shy but I started to come into my own in my late 20s and early 30s," she said. "Now I'm not afraid to speak up in a room full of people and be a part of the conversation."

His new role on Samantha Who? lands him securely in the here and now, but the past lingers again: He's playing Winston Funk, a character previously played by Timothy Olyphant, who departed to appear on Damages.

Zane's found an easy way to deal with the ghosts of the past, however: ignoring them. To play Funk, for example, he didn't even watch Olyphant's take on the character.read more
