Christina Ricci discusses the “Yellowjackets” finale (consider this your spoiler alert!), her adolescent stardom and struggles with fame, and the younger generation coming up in Hollywood today.
where you’re wearing this black leather jacket and, to paraphrase, you’re, like, “I got this at a thrift store. Fuck parents; they don’t understand you. If I stopped acting tomorrow, I wouldn’t care.” It’s great.
You were “discovered” at the age of seven in a school production of “The Twelve Days of Christmas,” in New Jersey. What were you doing in a school play at seven that made someone say, “This girl is a star”? The year after “Mermaids,” in 1991, you played Wednesday Addams for the first time. I’m sure you’re sick of people identifying you with her by now.
Yes. People would write things about me when I was very young that I thought were so inappropriate. I remember there being a review of “The Opposite of Sex” where they described me as having a “slutty physique.” I was seventeen when I made that movie. And I just felt, like, This is an adult, a respected film critic, and this is what they’re allowed to say about me? So that kind of thing happening over and over again filled me with a lot of rage.
I never really felt that way. The thing that people were enjoying was taking this chubby teen and making her really sexual or really desirable. I think for people that was a novelty, because I wasn’t Buffy, or something else that was more traditionally sexualized in our culture. So I feel like there was a distance and an intellectualization of it that kept it from being creepy. Nobody was actually really attracted to me on set.
