In Christina's case, the ''Kelly'' role is totally opposite the real life Christina.Unfortunately the inevitable final curtain fell on ''Married with... Children'' in 1997 after a near record breaking eleven seasons. Although Christina was obviously disappointed in leaving her TV family, she now looks forward to leaving behind the schedule limitations that working a weekly sitcom cast upon her. Christina is now free to pursue other acting opportunities (especially in movies) and looks forward to it.
