This natural blond beauty from California had a taste of show biz as early as three months old, when she appeared on Days of Our Lives with her singer-actress mother, Nancy Priddy. Her father, record producer Robert Applegate, and her mother split up shortly after Christina's birth.
Applegate's mother took her along on all of her auditions and acting jobs. She made her second acting showing at age five months, when her mother got her in a commercial for Playtex nursers. "It was not easy for my mother, being a struggling actress and raising a child," explains Applegate.
"We were these two sort of vagabonds, never knowing where the money was going to come from. She always says she couldn't afford a babysitter, which is why she put me on the stage." When she was ten, she made her feature film debut in Jaws of Satan (1981), followed shortly by a stint in Beatlemania (1981).
