Dreams really do come true!

On Monday, Christina Applegate checked a major wish off her bucket list when she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! During the emotional ceremony, which served as the actress’s first public appearance since she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis last year, she opened up about her lengthy career, thanked her inner circle for standing by her side no matter what, and even made reference to her health challenges.

She was joined by Married With Children‘s Katey Sagal and David Faustino, Selma Blair (who is also battling MS), and Dead to Me‘s Linda Cardellini.
