I just looked at the copy I have (picked up in Canada last spring), and
it's 88 minutes long. Anyone know what happens in those missing twelve
minutes? Although I seriously doubt it would be enough to salvage the
film (another flick in which Christina gives a performance far superior
to the mediocre script and lackluster directing), I am curious.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ! For God's sake ! It has been discussed
one hundred times !

Christina is the SINGLE child of actress/singer Nancy Priddy and record
company executive Bobby Applegate.

Priddy and Applegate divorced as Christina was a child and they had NO
other baby after her.

Bobby Applegate then married another woman and got a son and a dougther
who, so, are the stepbrother and stepsister of Christina and still alive
both.

All investigations has demonstrated there was no other Applegate child
form this family.

Unless someone has a REAL EVIDENCE of the contrary, the above is the
truth.

What mess people up is probably the fanzine (hardly believable) story
about the porn movie Christina is SUPPOSED to have been (in a normal,
not porn, role) in without knowing it was intended to become a porn one.
I'll post about it soon because some people asked in th NG and by
e-mail.

Oh Men ! Things are NEVER simple with Christina. Believe me, I'm
carrying a real biography out !

The movie was quite poor, and its main quality lies in Elisabeth Pena
and Christina Applegate (who can show a bit of what she's able to do).
So many cuts (and plastic surgery) seem to have been made for video and
even theaters (??????). Like usual, Christina went in a mess...

Just see the following :

For the movie database, two versions exist for the USA (the movie was
never released outside the USA, I believe) : 100 and 88 minutes, with no
comments on this.

But for the Movie Finder, the time is only 88 minutes.

For Hollywood On Line, the film does not exist ! And Christina is not
even in the database. (I told once she was not considered a real star.
But I still love her !)

The following is the info on the movie.

PLEASE NOTE THAT A SECOND POST OF THE MESSAGE IN THE
alt.fan.christina-applegate newsgroup contains the two faces of the
video jacket. In alt.tv.mwc I was told once that binaries are not
allowed ! (Didn't still get why.)

Does this mean you are writing an unauthorized biography?

<<much text snipped>>

As I said, another flick in which Christina rises above a mediocre
script and very tentative directing. Let's only hope that phase of her
career is past.

Now, my question remains: Does anyone know what happens in those missing
12 minutes? Or is this reported discrepancy just another IMdB snafu?

Yes, it has been discussed to death. You've persuaded me to add an entry
to the FAQ just so that silly rumor can die already.

Subject: 4.4. Is Christina related to the porn star Colleen Applegate?

No. She's not the same person. They're not sisters. The only relation
between them that the entire collective knowledge of alt.tv.mwc and
alt.fan.christina-applegate has ever discovered is that their names
sound alike.

Applegate is an uncommon surname but hardly unique, for instance,
columnist Liz Applegate.

Christina has no full siblings. She has a half-sister and half-brother,
both of whom are emphatically not dead porn stars.

Thanks to :
Heywood-...@your.leisure (Heywood Jablowmie)
and

t...@world.std.com

for adding their smart words to my answer about the "porn sister" of
Christina.

I just add the following, and hope this question about Colleen-Shauna
will be ended !

(For people who still don't know, Tom is the man of the Christina FAQ !
Mention it, man ! Don't be coy.)

Yes and people like heywoodjablowmie and Seadogone (he answered about
this in the past I believe) who usually know what they post have the
same opinion. And I think Andreas Carl (Bundylogy site) never heard
about a relation too. But I add I've search through the trash (so-called
"people") press and I found NOTHING about a relation between the two
girls. Can one imagine a second Christina being related to a porn star
without the trash press mentioning it ?

> Applegate is an uncommon surname but hardly unique, for instance,
> columnist Liz Applegate.

Yes and you can even add the following (part of my "investigations") :

-There is an actor called Roy Applegate
-There is a city called Applegate in Oregon and an Applegate Valley !
(Do they raise Christinas there ? Want to go to the place then !)
-There a quite famous gay lawyer called Doug Applegate in the USA
-And if someone is not convinced, I've still a dozen of known Applegates
!

Thanks again for you post, both of you.

That's correct. But people seem to want stories about relations, so just
read this:

In the episode "Where's the Boss" (prod. code 111), there is an actor
named Lewis Arquette, playing "Ed" (I really don't remember him). But he
IS the father of Rosanna and Patricia Arquette. Pat ist married with
Nicolas (sp?) Cage who got the Oscar for "Best Actor" in 1995. This is
giving the show a certain glamour, isn't it?

Gosh ! And they forgot Colleen-Shauna Applegate ??!!! ;-)

OK. Maybe now the porn-sister question will be over... until next time.

(Note some other databases give even some other names !)

The movie she supposidly was in was the creasemaster and a couple
others. The girl that is in it looks alot like Christina but it is not
her. She goes by the name Christina Appleigh. There is a amazing
simmilarity though, I have been a fan of Christina Applegate for about
eight years now and when I saw this other woman in the movie it was hard
to tell if it was her or not so if you decide to check it out have fun.
