Jenna Ortega, the new Addams Family Wednesday: of Mexican origin, LGTBI icon and critic of Trump
She was eight years old when
a talent scout
discovered the artistic potential of
Christina Ricci
(42) who soon became a 90s
teen idol
alongside Cher (76) in
Mermaids
(1990) and
Anjelica Huston
(71) in
The Addams Family
( 1991), where he
played Wednesday.
That same role is embodied by actress Jenna Ortega (20) -nominated for best performer in a comedy or musical series in the next edition of the Golden Globes- in the eponymous comedy and horror series that has been a hit
on Netflix
for a few weeks.
Jenna has stated that at no time
has she asked Ricci for advice,
who also stars in the series in the role of Marily Thornhill, the only
normal
character among the Nevermore Academy staff.
In a kind of
flashback
, Ricci recalled after the premiere of the series that in the 90s she was part of a group of young people who
were called "weird girls" in the industry.

Anjelica Huston, a lonely childhood in a mansion, her rivalry with Oprah Winfrey and in ruins after being widowed by her only husband
The first Wednesday is in luck because
after two years of litigation she
has just obtained
a divorce
from her first husband, the film technician James Hewrdegen, with whom she
had her son Freddie
(8).
During the divorce process, the situation became so ugly that I interpreted her and
asked
her then-husband for a restraining order for physical and emotional abuse.
She is currently romantically linked to
fashion stylist Mark Hampton,
with whom
she was the mother of a girl
they named Cleopatra (1).
Unlike other actresses of her generation,
Ricci has never been involved in a scandal,
she is not a regular at soirees and her
career has remained stable
over time, although at times it seemed that the industry
had forgotten her.
But there are other works of his that speak for themselves such as
Casper
(1995),
Sleepy Hollow
(1999) or
Bel Ami
(2012).

Parallel to the development of her career in film and television,
her style on the red carpets also evolved.
She went from having an Addams Family-esque
goth
image with pale makeup and heavy eye shadow to a
edgier, edgier image
in which she displayed a lot more skin.
During that change from a girl to a woman, she suffered the tyranny of the industry since "when my chest began to develop on the set or in costume fittings they tried to camouflage it", which
undermined her self-esteem until she fell into anorexia,
which she suffered for a year and a half.
Fortunately, she put herself in the hands of specialists to root out the problem.

She was always very clear that being a recognized actress entailed a certain fame and, therefore, the loss of privacy.
Throughout her life
she has dealt well with the paparazzi,
since she is a person who has always gone head-on, she used to say
the first thing that came into her head
and she has tried to get as far away from the public as possible. public exposure.
Therefore, as a result of her first marriage, she decided to
settle in New York,
where she could go much more unnoticed and not be so aware of looking exuberant.
At the beginning of her career, she spent
fortunes on dresses and shoes
to look spectacular at the different Hollywood soirees. In fact, with her first salary she bought several Azzedine Alaïa models -the Tunisian designer died in 2017- that she still treasures as authentic jewels.

After more than three decades in the profession, Christina Ricci
is happy with how her career has led.
Behind her is that girl who at home entertained her older siblings giving life to different characters and who in her early days as an actress was always
accompanied and protected by her mother.
