Christina Applegate has said her upcoming appearance at the SAG Awards will likely be her last appearance at an awards show as an actress.
Speaking to The Los Angeles Times, the Dead To Me actress gave the sad news, which comes as she finds it more difficult to work while living with multiple sclerosis.
“It’s my last awards show as an actor probably, so it’s kind of a big deal,” the 51-year-old said.

“Right now, I couldn’t imagine getting up at 5 am and spending 12 to 14 hours on a set; I don’t have that in me at this moment,” she added.
Applegate was diagnosed with MS in 2021 and announced it to her fans that year. At the time, she was filming Dead To Me‘s third and final season, and had to postpone filming while she dealt with pain and limitations from the condition.
This year the actress is nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series for her role as Jen Harding in Dead To Me. The nomination marks her sixth-ever SAG nomination.
In the interview, Applegate revealed what she’d be doing for work after acting.
