Christina Applegate looks radiantly beautiful as she shows off her baby bump at the Los Angeles premiere of Cats and Dogs yesterday.
She announced at the event that she is launching a cancer charity, Right Action For Women in September and her hope is that the project will aid women to get any cancer detected early.
“It’s a programme giving financial aid to high-risk women who can’t afford to get MRIs, which is how I found my cancer.
“It’s unfortunate that insurance companies (in America) don’t cover the cost of that. It’s such an incredible device because you can find it at an early detection stage. We started our pilot programme and started helping women already, even though we aren’t launched.
“The other aspect of the programme is to do genetic counselling and help women understand what being high-risk means, and understanding what foods are good for their bloods and how to prevent this disease from happening. That has been my mission.”
In addition to Christina planning the arrival of her first baby, and working on her cancer charity, she has a film, Going The Distance (which stars Drew Barrymore and Justin Long) opening August 27th.
And she’s just wrapped Hall Pass which also stars Alyssa Milano, Owen Wilson, Jenna Fisher and others. That film hits theatres February 25, 2011.
