After making a name for herself on “Married With Children,” Christina Applegate had a challenging time finding her footing in Tinseltown, and it turns out she said ‘no thanks’ to the lead role of Elle Woods in “Legally Blonde,” a gig that boosted Reese Witherspoon’s career.
The “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy” babe told Entertainment Tonight, "The script came along my way and it was right after I had just finished Married and it was, you know, a blonde who was, in that first script dimwitted but ends up going to Harvard. It was just, I got scared. I got scared of kind of repeating myself."
Christina added, "What a stupid move that was! That's okay, you know what? Reese deserved that and she did a much better job than I ever could, so that's her life, that's her path."
