Christina Ricci is an American actress, who began her acting career appearing in commercials and received early recognition as a child star. Her debut performance in Mermaids was followed by a breakthrough role as Wednesday Addams in The Addams Family and its sequel Addams Family Values when she was eleven and thirteen years old, respectively. Following her success with the Addams Family films, she earned somewhat of a teen icon status thanks to appearances in various big budget productions, notably Now and Then and Casper , which were marketed for younger audiences, before making a successful transition into adultoriented roles with the art house drama The Ice Storm , at the age of seventeen.

Ricci was born in Santa Monica, California, the fourth and youngest child of Sarah , a real estate agent, and Ralph Ricci, a lawyer and a group therapist. Regarding her ancestry, Ricci has stated, The Italian blood has been bred out of me. Theres an Italian four or five generations back who married an Irish woman and they had all sons. So they married more Irish women, there were more sons, and more Irish women. Now Im basically ScotsIrish.
