Christina Ricci

"I certainly hope I'm not still answering child-star questions by the time I reach menopause."

Date of Birth: February 12, 1980

Birthplace: Santa Monica, California

No matter how many roles Christina Ricci takes on, she will always be remembered for playing Wednesday Addams in The Addams Family (1991). That role could have been a curse, but it ended up a blessing thanks to the exposure and wealth of opportunities that followed. Those "open doors" allowed Christina to pick roles that showcased her abilities as an actress, instead of typecasting her as a child star.

Christina Ricci is a talented actress that defies convention and seems to really mean it when she says, "I'm doing it for the work, not the money."

Christina Ricci was born February 12, 1980, in Santa Monica, California, to parents Ralph and Sarah Ricci. After her parents decided to relocate to Montclair, New Jersey, Christina -- otherwise known as the family clown -- spent much of her youth on America's East Coast.

The only sign of acting talent Christina showed at a young age was her ability to entertain her siblings (Rafael and Dante). But once she was cast in an elementary school pageant, a movie critic who was in the audience encouraged her parents to get her an agent.

In 1990, Christina was cast in Mermaids as Cher's daughter and Winona Ryder's sister -- quite an accomplishment for her acting debut. Her maturity led her to become friends with Cher and Johnny Depp (Winona's guy at the time), who has since shared the screen with Christina several times.
