Samantha Who? Star Christina Applegate has breast cancer. A representative of the actress released the following statement late Saturday:

“Christina Applegate was diagnosed with an early form of breast cancer. Benefiting from early detection through a doctor ordered MRI, the cancer is not life threatening. Christina is following the recommended treatment of her doctors and will have a full recovery.”

Christina Applegate’s rep also tells E! News that she will maintain her regular shooting schedule on Samantha Who? while undergoing treatment. The former Married With Children star is set to appear Sept. 5 alongside Meryl Streep, Jennifer Aniston, Scarlett Johansson, Charlize Theron and Sally Field at the Stand Up to Cancer telethon, which will be broadcast simultaneously on CBS, NBC and ABC. Best Wishes for her!
