Christina Applegate, known for her hit sitcoms like Jesse, Samantha Who? and Up All Night, bravely fought the breast cancer dread. In 2008, she was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer, and she too underwent a double mastectomy. Her survival only strengthened her resolve to work towards cancer awareness and she founded Right Action for Women, a breast cancer foundation.
