Christina Applegate - latest top photos

Christina Applegate has a couple of pieces of show-biz advice.

"Don't try to be different," she says. "And don't try to be funny."

One more thing: When you want to convey innocence and adorableness, think curls.

Seems like her ABC comedy "Samantha Who?" is putting such tips to good use. It's different and it's funny, full of energy that seems unleashed, not forced.

Debuting last October, it focuses on a young career woman who awakens from an eight-day coma remembering nothing about who she was before. Clue by clue, Samantha begins to form a picture of herself and realizes that, in her old life, she was selfish, conniving and mean-spirited. She vows to be a better Sam in the future.

IT'S been a while since Christina Applegate starred in a TV series, so maybe that's why she decided to play two characters on her new show. Well, not exactly two characters, but two distinctly different versions of the same person. In Samantha Who?, which Channel 7 has moved to a new Thursday night slot, Applegate plays a woman who wakes from a coma with amnesia. She doesn't remember her past. And that's maybe not such a bad thing, because the old Samantha, it turns out, was not a nice person.
