Christina Ricci was a child actor in the early 1990s, making commercials for cereal and toys beginning at age 5. Her first film, at age 9, was Mermaids with Cher and Winona Ryder. She made more of an impression as morbid daughter Wednesday in the Addams Family movies, as the manipulative girlfriend of murderous hooker Charlize Theron in Monster, and opposite Johnny Depp's Ichabod Crane in Sleepy Hollow.

In this respect Christina Ricci was lucky. Standing somewhere between early Rose McGowan and early Janeane Garofalo, she came into her own when she was eleven years old in The Addams Family not for being adorably cute, but for being adorably dark, angry, and cynical — a hook that was able to sustain her even through her portly teen years, when most former child actors are unknowingly preparing for careers on E!'s True Hollywood Stories. Attempts at more light-hearted roles (Mermaids, Casper, That Darn Cat, to name a few) went ignored by the public, which preferred Christina in the role of bluntly outspoken, dark-humored critic of Hollywood pretentiousness. And so it was that Christina found her niche and became a familiar icon in the indie world, offering those who were sick to death of Jennifer Love Hewitt and her busty, happy, air-headed kind a busty, angry, world-wise anti-Jennifer Love Hewitt to rally round.
