Christina Ricci

Christina Ricci was born on February 12, 1980 in Santa Monica, California. Christina did several commercials starting at the age of six, until she finally got her big screen debut in “Mermaids” (1990) alongside Cher, Bob Hoskins, and Winona Ryder, as Cher's younger daughter. The following year, she starred as the morbidly precocious Wednesday Addams in the hit film adaptation of “The Addams Family.” The role would help to establish Ricci as an actress known for playing dark, unconventional characters. She went on to play Wednesday again in the film's 1993 sequel “Addams Family Values,”  and later starred in the films “Casper,” “Now and Then,” “Golddiggers: The Secret of Bear Mountain” and “That Darn Cat.”

She later appeared in “The Opposite of Sex,” and for her performance, Christina was nominated for a Golden Globe and attained the unofficial title of the Sundance Film Festival's 1998 “It” Girl.

She dated fellow actor Adam Goldberg until the end of 2005. The couple reportedly sold the house they had together when they broke up. Since August 2006 the couple has been seen back together and Christina wears a gold necklace with an anchor that bears the initials AG.

Christina has several tattoos including a bouquet of sweet peas on her lower back, a pair of praying hands on her hip (this used to be a bat but she has since had it covered), a fairy on her inner wrist, a sparrow on her lower right breast, a lion (from “The Chronicles of Narnia”) on her shoulder blade, the name "Jack" on her right thigh, and the words "Move Or Bleed" on the left side of her rib cage.
