And sometimes I would say something as a joke, and I think I have a very dark sense of humor, and she would go, 'Uh, that's dark…'&quot;Christina Ricci played the role of Wednesday Addams in the 1990s movies, alongside Angelica Houston, Raul Julia, Christopher Lloyd, and Jimmy Workman.In a recent interview, Ortega also shared that she feels her parents still can't believe her success, even though they drove her back and forth several times a week just so she could audition in Los Angeles. She said: &quot;My mom literally said this to me yesterday - she said: 'I did not think you were going to be here.' Which is true! That’s what it is. Because we had no connection to Hollywood, it was a random thing. I’m living off of a six-year-old girl’s decisions.&quot; View this post on Instagram Instagram PostWednesday, which was released on November 23, is currently streaming on Netflix. The series also stars Luis Guzmán, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Isaac Ordonez, and Fred Armisen in key roles.
