Finally, a People Magazine “Most Beautiful” cover I can get behind. This year’s “Most Beautiful” is none other than the lovely and talented Christina Applegate. Applegate survived breast cancer last year, for which she had a double mastectomy in July. She spent several months recovering from that ordeal, and went on to have reconstructive breast surgery. Regardless of what’s happening with her body, Christina is one of those woman whose beauty radiates from within. I’ve literally sobbed watching her interviews, and I’m so moved by the grace with which she’s handled her struggles. Well done, People Magazine!

She has an “angel” of a boyfriend, Dutch bass player Martyn Lenoble, “who loves me from head to toe.” She has a cozy Malibu beach house that she calls “the best thing I’ve ever done for myself.” And, after a very public battle with breast cancer that has given her a gratifying “feeling of purpose,” Christina Applegate has a new lease on life.

“I used to be really shy but I started to come into my own in my late 20s and early 30s,” Applegate, 37, tells PEOPLE in the cover interview for the annual Most Beautiful issue – her first interview since her reconstructive breast surgery last November. “Now I’m not afraid to speak up in a room full of people and be a part of the conversation.”

The Samantha Who? star says she’s finding balance and embracing her body after undergoing a double mastectomy in July.

“You have to get through the physical transformations then buck up, go to work and try to be the normal, happy Christina for everyone around you,” she says.

One source of strength has been Lenoble. “He’s been a friend for about 13 years,” Applegate says. “Our relationship gets stronger and stronger. I’m really lucky.”

And, more importantly, he makes the actress feel “beautiful” about her new body.

“I’m very grateful to Martyn for coming along at a time that he did because he’s been my rock through all of this,” Applegate says. “He gave me something to really want to live for and something to smile about.”

I wish her all the happiness in the world – she got dealt some bad hands in the poker game of life, and hopefully everything will be better for her in the coming years. She’s talked in the past of her desire to become a mother, and I hope that happens for her. I don’t know much about this boyfriend Martyn Lenoble, other than what People Magazine says, but I hope it’s the real deal. Congratulations, Christina!
