This particular award show is one for the books for the actress, as she’s said it’ll probably be herlast as an actor, following her MS diagnosis.
“It’s my last awards show as an actor probably, so it’s kind of a big deal,” Applegate told theLos Angeles Timesin an interview published earlier this month.
She added, “Right now, I couldn’t imagine getting up at 5 a.m. and spending 12 to 14 hours on a set; I don’t have that in me at this moment.”

Applegatee also had hernails meaningfully painted for her Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremonylast November. That time, though, she went with “F U MS” on her nails.
In a December appearance onThe Kelly Clarkson Show, she revealed that she typically uses her job as an actress to distract her from any of her real-life problems.
“I’ve probably been going through grief and trauma my whole life, and acting was the place that I got to go to not feel it, you know?” she said, noting that she used acting to avoid dealing with past breakups, trauma, deaths and breast cancer.

“The beauty ofDead to Meis that it gave me almost this weird platform of dealing with it, where I didn’t have to be on all the time and I didn’t have to make all the jokes and I could fall apart in a scene,” Applegate explained. “And it was, like, me. It was my soul actually falling apart, unfortunately, in front of the world, but it was cathartic in a beautiful way.”
The 2023SAG Awardsceremony is airing live on Sunday, Feb. 26 from the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.
