Actress Christina crossword

Christina Ricci is an American actress who holds the attention of viewers through many kinds of convincing work. She was born in Santa Monica, California in 1980 and started acting while still a child appearing in “Casper” plus “The Addams Family.” In 1995 she became widely known for her portrait of the gloomy, off beat Wednesday Addams in “Addams Family Values.” From that point she kept choosing parts that test her, among them the disturbing “Buffalo ’66” and the historical piece “The Man Who Cried.” Critics praise her for giving life to layered, difficult figures but also followers of small scale or experimental film stay loyal to her. Mainstream cinema also calls on her - she appears in “Sleepy Hollow” and “Penelope.” Outside film she gives time to causes that matter to her - she speaks for groups that protect animals, defend the planet as well as advance women's rights showing steady resolve to improve conditions for others. Fame has brought strain and periods of mental distress - yet she stays steady or keeps offering open, unguarded portrayals. As she moves forward and accepts fresh demanding parts, her standing as one of the most capable also adaptable performers of her age remains firm.
