Breast cancer survivor Christina Applegate made the (cover) of People magazine's 100 most beautiful people issue on Wednesday in a list that welcomed newcomers U.S. first lady Michelle Obama and "Twilight" Robert Pattinson.
Pattinson's vampire-loving co-star Kristen Stewart, (teen) music idols Nick and Joe Jonas and "Slumdog Millionaire" star Dev Patel also made the coveted list for the first time, in the (celebrity) magazine's annual issue that hits newsstands on Friday.
Applegate, 37, the star of the U.S. TV show "Samantha Who?," won admiration for going public last year about her breast diagnosis and later (underwent) a double mastectomy.
The actress, who has since undergone (reconstructive) breast surgery, told People in an interview it was hard to look at herself naked.
"You don't look the same anymore and you never will. A part of you is gone. ... It's a decision that you made to save your life," she said. It was Applegate's third appearance on the People list.
Michelle Obama, who has achieved celebrity (status) and has wowed the world as a fashion icon, made the list for the first time.
"I had a father and a brother who thought I was beautiful, and they made me feel that way every single day," Obama told the magazine.
"I grew up with very strong male role models who (thought) I was smart and fast and funny, so I heard that a lot. I know that there are many young girls who don't hear it. But I was fortunate," she added.
Also included in a "Barack's Beauties" section (were) White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and others.
The 100 list also included old favorites George Clooney, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and Halle Berry. Some of the celebrities, including (actress) Eva Mendes and supermodel Cindy Crawford appeared in a "Stars Without Makeup" section in which they were photographed wearing no make-up for their close-ups.
