The terrifying reality about Christina Ricci's real life was recently uncovered, despite the fact that she has played a number of eerie characters on television. The woman, who is now 44 years old, revealed in the documentary "Child Star" that she was raised in a "chaotic" home under the control of her father, who was previously a primal scream therapist.
"My father was a failed cult leader, and so he had all that same sort of, like, really crazy narcissism that goes along with someone wanting to run a cult," the “Wednesday” actress told Star Magazine, adding, "He was very physically violent. There was never any peace in my house."
Following the family's relocation from California to New Jersey, Christina, the youngest of four children, stated that she and her mother would make daily trips to New York City to participate in auditions.
Everything came to a halt, according to Ricci, the moment that began. Her parents split up not long after that. Furthermore, she mentioned that she was aware that nothing completely out of the ordinary was going to transpire. Nobody was going to act out their anger by threatening to slam the automobile against a wall. For her, there was this shelter of emotional safety.
The star said she discovered "peace" while working on film and television sets.
Furthermore, according to Deadline, Christina, who played the character of Wednesday Addams in the "Addams Family" feature film that Barry Sonnenfeld directed in the 1990s, is now a part of Netflix’s "Wednesday," which features Jenna Ortega on the lead role.
Although Ricci's part specifics are being kept under wraps to preserve the surprise for the audience, it is important to note that she does not play an older version of Wednesday.
Ricci was brought on board after Thora Birch left the project during an ongoing production. The character that Birch played in the program will be replaced by Christina, who is portraying a new character comparable to the one that Birch played.
Filming on the series "Wednesday," which is produced by MGM, is scheduled to conclude in Romania at the end of this month, as per Marie Claire. Christina has been working on the series stealthily for several weeks.
Ortega plays the role of Wednesday Addams during her time at Nevermore Academy in the coming-of-age comedy written by Al Gough and Miles Millar, the creators of Smallville, and directed by Burton. One could say that it is a mystery with supernatural elements that involve investigating.
