Top 10 Unforgettable 2000s Actresses And What Are They Up To (2 of 6)

2. Denise Richards

Denise blew up mainly thanks to Starship Troopers and went on to be a Bond girl in The World Is Not Enough. But then came the messy marriage to Charlie Sheen, which dragged her into tabloid drama. That, along with some questionable role choices, hurt her career. Still, she powered through, adopted kids, and in 2018, married Canadian actor Aaron Phypers. In her fifties, she’s more famous for controversy than acting, especially after doing risqu photoshoots.

3. Christina Applegate

You might remember Applegate from Married With Children, Anchorman, or The Sweetest Thing. Since 2013, she’s been married to musician Martyn LeNoble. Unfortunately, Christina received a multiple sclerosis diagnosis in 2021. By 2023, she officially stepped away from acting because long filming days had become impossible. She’s been candid about the daily struggles, from needing diapers to struggling with basic tasks like showering. Still, she was thrilled to get her own shining Hollywood Walk of Fame star and now co-hosts a podcast.
