"I've had a really interesting life, but the life started as a little girl waiting in line to see the first on this very street at that very theater. And looking at these things [the stars] and going, 'Who are these people? What are these things? Did they do something right? Did they do something wrong? Whatever it is, I want one. I effing want one,'" she recalled to laughs. "And I was five years old. So this day means more to me than you can possibly imagine.
Applegate also thanked"most of all, [her] family.""I don't say that I have friends, I have family. These people take care of me. They take care of me every day of my life and without them I don't know what I would do," she said. "Oh, by the way, I have a disease," she joked, her first acknowledgement of her MS."Did you not notice? I'm not wearing shoes! Anywho, you're supposed to laugh at that."Later, as her star was officially unveiled on the Walk of Fame, Applegate was seated in a chair behind it with her walking stick in hand. She later posed seated for various photos with her co-stars, along with her husband, daughter and mother.
