[img]smilies/star.gif[/img] Christina Ricci Appretiation [img]smilies/star.gif[/img]



Hey everyone, where DID our Christina Ricci thread go to? It doesn’t seem to be here anymore. Seeing how this is the case, I decided to start another. Please post your thoughts, any pictures, or anything about this tremendously talented actress. News about her is also welcome! Cheerio!

The Most Original Young Actress in Hollywood
Precocious, outspoken child-teen starlet of the 1990s, Christina Ricci was born on February 12th, 1980 in Santa Monica, California, the youngest of 4 children of a lawyer father and realtor mother. She made her screen debut at the age of 9 in Mermaids (1990) in which she worked with 'Cher'. Her breakthrough adult role was in The Ice Storm (1997) in which she plays a nymphet who skillfully seduces 2 brothers. Candid and controversial, as well as a highly skilled actress, Christina was much in demand by film makers in the late 1990s. In 1999, at the age of 19, she directed and worked on the screenplay for the movie Asylum (1996). A compulsive talker who seems to have a new and refreshing view on every subject, the buxom Christina is becoming a top box office draw and seems to be destined for super-stardom in the new century.

Quotes

"I spend a lot of time with my mother. When I'm doing movies, she's always with me. We spend days being bored in an apartment together waiting for someone to call and say I'm needed for a shot. Because we're together so much, we have to get along. We have to find ways to get to know each other. We've gone through a lot of stuff, you know, and I think we're pretty close."

"I don't have any training, and I don't believe in training. Of course, people who don't have any training always say that."

I'm not perfect-looking and I don't say the right things, I'm a little different, nothing really special, but I guess I come across as a little more real to people and that comes through on the screen. I know I look young, but with the right make-up I can look older. I definitely feel older."

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

"My dream role would probably be a psycho killer, because the whole thing I love about movies is that you get to do things you could never do in real life, and that would be my way of vicariously experiencing being a psycho killer. Also, it's incredibly romantic."

"I don't think I'll be reformed until I'm well into my fifties."

Sorry your thread got pruned. We recently did a little Spring cleaning here at Fan Forum, and all the threads that hadn't been posted on in 45 days were trimmed.

I only saw the last 5 minutes of Jay Leno so I didn't see the interview with her. [img]smilies/pout.gif[/img]

Actually, I didn't see it either, but I wasn't surprised that she acted crazy. That's her, she's so fun.

I know, Wes Craven is great. I loved his Nightmare on Elm Street movies, even though Freddy scared the crap out of me. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]
