Christina Ricci

Christina Ricci is a popular American actress and producer, best known for playing Wednesday Addams in The Addams Family. On February 12, 1980, an American of Italian descent Ralph Ricci and his wife Sarah Murdoch had a daughter, who was named Christina. The future actress was the youngest of four children. The girl grew up and was brought up in a very unusual family living in Santa Monica, a suburb of Los Angeles.

In the past, the mother of the future actress worked as a model, and then changed her profession to a more mundane one and became a realtor. In her youth, Sarah was slim and thin and constantly dreamed that her naturally plump youngest daughter would eventually acquire a model appearance and shine on the covers of gloss. Therefore, apart from Christina's diet, in which there was a minimum of desserts, Murdoch did not care about anything in the child's life.

Christina's father was also a peculiar person. Before becoming a lawyer, Ralph worked as a home-based psychoanalyst. Moreover, he cured his patients with the help of an unconventional method - cryotherapy. According to the conclusions of some American scientists, vivid displays of emotion (in this case, screaming) help to cope with inner feelings and stress. Therefore, Ralph brought home clients who wanted to get rid of various phobias and depression.

Ricci performed similar therapy in his office, which was located opposite little Christina's room. That is why in childhood, the future actress was known as a misanthrope and disliked people. But it is possible that such a worldview of the actress was influenced by the divorce of her parents: when the girl was 13 years old, Sarah and Ralph terminated the marriage contract.

In order not to hear the "healing" screams, Christina got out at night on the roof, but Ralph and Sarah perceived this behavior of the girl in a completely different way: it seemed to them that their daughter was a dreamy person who loves to admire the stars and the night sky. By the way, Ricci sometimes parodied the dialogues he heard in front of her mother.

After moving to New Jersey, Christina had to go to Glenfield School. To win a place in the sun in a new educational institution, Ricci attracted attention in an extraordinary way: she climbed up to school hooligans and pissed them off. The cocky girl did not give back, but she loved to complain about the mischievous to her parents and teachers.

In Ricci's filmography, there are many roles in films that eventually went down in the history of world cinema. For example, it is difficult to find a moviegoer who has not even heard of Casper (1995) or Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998). But it is worth saying that Christina does not and never had a special acting education, and the actress herself does not see the point in it. Christina admitted that she worked on the stage intuitively.

Ricci's career began by accident. When the girl was 8 years old, on Christmas Day she performed on the stage of the school theater. A talented person, by a happy coincidence, attracted the attention of an eminent film critic, who advised her parents to send their daughter to the creative path. Therefore, in her free time, Sarah dragged her children to agencies and auditions, hoping that in the future they would be of use.

For the first time in full length, Christina starred in 1990, it was the movie "Mermaids" by Richard Benjamin. It is noteworthy that on the set, the little girl made friends with Cher, and, despite the impressive age difference, Ricci considers her his friend all his life. In 1991, Ricci starred in the black comedy "The Addams Family", the plot of which tells about the life of an infernal witchcraft family.

According to rumors, the creator of the gothic film did not even want to take Christina to auditions, because in the role of Wednesday Addams he saw a refined and aristocratic nature, and not a girl with chubby cheeks and a snub nose. But Cher taught Christina that the main thing in acting is to make yourself remember. Therefore, without thinking twice, Christina ran towards Barry Sonnenfeld, knocked him to the floor and grabbed his hand with her teeth. After such an eccentric act of the applicant, the famous director was unable to give the role of this gloomy character to another girl.

It is noteworthy that after the premiere of The Addams Family, Ricci became almost the most popular teenage child, and her image of Wednesday is considered to be cult. But in the future, the gifted girl was often denied roles. For example, she dreamed of starring in "Lolita" based on the novel by Vladimir Nabokov, but the directors preferred her to another actress - Dominic Swain.

It is not surprising that the director of scary tales Tim Burton noticed the white-skinned beauty with a gothic appearance. Thus, in 1999, a cult horror film called Sleepy Hollow was released, where Christina Ricci played the main role. The plot of the film tells the story of constable Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp), who goes to a sinister village to investigate a series of brutal murders. However, the young man does not even suspect that the local legend of the headless horseman will turn out to be a harsh truth.

It is worth noting that Christina has established herself as a versatile actress who is capable of working in any genre. For example, in the film "Monster" (2003), the girl appears before the audience in the role of eccentric lesbian Selby Wall, and in the film "Penelope" (2006) Ricci transforms into an enchanted aristocrat with a pig's penny instead of a nose.

In 2009, the diminutive beauty (Ricci's height is 155 cm, weight -55 kg) was filmed in Agnieszka Voitovich-Voslo's action-packed film Life Beyond the Boundary. The plot of the drama with a touch of suspense is simple and non-trivial: after a quarrel with her beloved, Anna Taylor got into a car accident. Waking up in the funeral home, the young girl, contrary to the claims of the service worker Eliot Deacon (who can communicate with spirits), does not realize that she is dead. Therefore, Anna, on the verge of despair, tries to contact her boyfriend, but all attempts by the deceased obstinate are doomed to failure.

In a love relationship, Christina was a windy girl: her romances did not last longer than three months, because Ricci often deceived her admirers in order to give life a dramatic touch. According to rumors, the actress met with director Adam Goldberg, but their relationship soon fell apart. The next lover of Christina was the comedian Owen Benjamin. In 2011, the young people announced an imminent engagement, but in 2013 it became known that the girl had given her hand and heart to the equity holder James Hirdejen.

It is known that in 2000 Ricci decided on a rather unusual operation. While the other girls secretly dreamed of a magnificent bust, Christina, on the contrary, reduced her breasts. Fans of the actress note that the “before” and “after” photos differ significantly, but Christina was satisfied, because, according to her, men will finally look her in the eyes.

In her free time, Christina loves to lie in front of the TV, watch various films or listen to her favorite group, the Red Hot Chili Peppers. She also loves pets: Ricci has dogs, and she often posts photos of pets on her Instagram.

In 2016, Christina Ricci co-starred with Selma Blair, Courtney Cox and Susan Sarandon in the drama Mother's Day, and in 2017 she took part in the voice acting of the cartoon Teen Titans: The Judas Contract.
