Why Christina Ricci Says the Film Industry ‘Rescued Me From a Childhood That Was Not Very Nice and a Family That Was Not Very Safe’
Christina Ricci shares how she not only survived the pitfalls that have damaged so many young actors, but actually thrived and grew.
It’s amazing when one realizes that Ricci has spent three-quarters of her life acting professionally, growing up onscreen and consistently playing interesting characters. As a young actor in films like “Mermaids,” “The Addams Family,” “Casper,” “Now and Then” and “Bastard Out of Carolina,” to her transition into more adult-themed roles in “The Ice Storm,” “Buffalo ’66,” “The Opposite of Sex,” “200 Cigarettes,” “Sleepy Hollow” and “Prozac Nation” (and many notable others), to roles as real-life infamous women Zelda Fitzgerald and Lizzie Borden, to her most recent turn as sadistic healthcare worker Misty in “ Yellowjackets,” Ricci has carved her way into a career that most can only dream of. Ricci sat down with Variety to reflect on her long and distinguished career and discussed how she not only survived the pitfalls that have damaged many young actors, but thrived and grew.
