In Love With Kelly
Christina Applegate is without question the show’s breakaway star. As soon as she made an entrance on screen, the audience was unable to tear their eyes away from her. The outfits might have been part of the reason, but it was mostly Applegate’s wonderful sense of humor, willingness to self parodies and eagerness to do everything she could to make sure the show was a success. The writers and producers of the show actually noticed Applegate’s appeal and talent early on, so they made sure that they gave her screen time to showcase her different talents (which helped the show gather numerous fans during the first few episodes).

Katey Sagal went into the audition for the role of Peggy with determination to land the part. She had bills to pay as well as a career that needed rescuing. Rather than auditioning for the part like how other regular actresses would, Sagal decided she needed to go all out. She came to her first audition dressed according to how she imagined Peggy – wearing a short ugly dress, with big hair, and with a boatload of makeup. Sagal was really in character and never even once broke off. She continued acting like how Peggy would act when the fictional character was on the audition stage. According to the producers of the show, that is why Sagal got the part.
Christina Applegate was another actress who was quite bold and very determined. When she auditioned for the role of Kelly, the actress wore the most beautiful clothes she had, and showed the producers a sample of the concealed beauty that she could possibly bring to the role of bratty Kelly. Seems like her plan worked.
