outspoken child-teen starlet of the 1990s, Christina Ricci was born in 1980 in
Santa Monica, California, the youngest of 4 children of a lawyer father and realtor
mother. She made her screen debut at the age of 9 in Mermaids (1990) in which
she worked with 'Cher' . Her breakthrough adult role was in The Ice Storm (1997)
in which she plays a nymphet who skillfully seduces 2 brothers. Candid and controversial,
as well as a highly skilled actress, Christina was much in demand by film makers
in the late 1990s. In 1999, at the age of 19, she directed and worked on the screenplay
for the movie Asylum (1996). A compulsive talker and smoker who seems to have
a new and refreshing view on every subject, the buxom Christina is becoming a
top box office draw and seems to be destined for super-stardom in the new century.
