Christina Ricci Biography:
One of the most celebrated actresses of her generation, as well as one of the few child stars to make a successful
transition to adult roles, Christina Ricci has been impressing audiences and critics with her unnervingly accurate
performances since debuting in 1990's Mermaids.
The daughter of a lawyer and a former Ford model and the youngest of four children, Ricci was born in Santa Monica,
CA, on February 12, 1980. Following her family's move to New York when she was eight, Ricci got her start acting in
commercials. Her big screen debut came shortly after, when director Richard Benjamin cast her as Cher's younger
daughter in Mermaids. Although much attention went to Winona Ryder, who played Ricci's older sister, the young
actress made enough of an impression to land more work: 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.
Following a series of films both good and bad, including Now and Then, in which she played the young Rosie O'Donnell,
and the critically panned but commercially successful Casper, Ricci starred as the troubled, sexually precocious Wendy
Hood in Ang Lee's widely praised The Ice Storm. The actress handled the part with uncanny maturity, leading many
observers to conclude that she was truly beginning to come into her own. This assessment was solidified with Ricci's
subsequent roles in films like Buffalo '66 (in which she played Vincent Gallo's unwitting abductee-turned-girlfriend), John
Waters' Pecker, and Don Roos' The Opposite of Sex, the last of which cast her as Dedee, a delightfully loathsome girl
who wreaks tabloid-style havoc on everyone she encounters, whether they be dead or alive. For her performance as
Dedee, Ricci was nominated for a Golden Globe and attained the unofficial title of the Sundance Film Festival's 1998 "It"
Girl.
Now riding high as an indie teen queen, Ricci went on in 1999 to headline the much-anticipated but ultimately
disappointing 200 Cigarettes; the same year, she could be seen in Desert Blue, which featured 200 Cigarettes co-stars
Casey Affleck and Kate Hudson, and Sleepy Hollow, in which she played Gothic princess Katrina Van Tassel opposite
Johnny Depp's Ichabod Crane in Tim Burton's adaptation of Washington Irving's ghostly tale.
In 2000, Ricci starred in Sally Potter's The Man Who Cried, in which she played a young Jewish woman who flees from
Germany to Paris during World War II, and Bless the Child, a supernatural thriller that also starred Kim Basinger and
Rufus Sewell.
Though rumors of a stateside release date for Ricci's 2001 drama Prozac Nation continued to linger, the dark young
starlet would move on to such unconventional efforts as The Laramie Project (2002) and the offbeat romantic comedy
Pumpkin, which found her as a popular sorority girl who risks becoming a social outcast after falling for a mentally
disabled young athlete whom she has volunteered to help train. Though subsequent efforts as Miranda and The
Gathering (both 2002) fell beneath the radar at the box office, Ricci was a hit with Ally McBeal fans when she appeared
in a recurring role in the Fox show that same year. Audiences who caught Woody Allen's 2003 comedy Anything Else
found her as charming as ever (despite her sometimes shrill characterization in the film). At festivals that year, Ricci
could be seen in supporting roles in actor Adam Goldberg's dark drama I Love Your Work, as well as in director Patty
Jenkins' Aileen Wuornos biopic Monster.
She next appeared in the werewolf film Cursed, before moving on to Penelope with Reese Witherspoon, and Black
Snake Moan with Samuel L. Jackson. In 2006 Ricci turned in a memorable guest appearance on the popular medical
drama Grey's Anatomy as an EMT put in the difficult position of keeping a bomb stuck inside a patient from exploding.

What's the word I'm looking for? Um..... Yowsers! Yeah, that's it. Yowsers!
Christina Ricci showed up to the premiere of her new movie Black Snake Moan in a very slinky, very sexy purple dress, and she looked, well, Yowsers!
Even her boyfriend, actor Adam Goldberg got in on the photo-taking action with his camera phone. No word on whether that camera phone was used
for any private photo fun, but I'm sure it was.
Now say it with me: "Christina Ricci sex tape". According to Oprah, if you send out those thoughts into the Universe, the Universe will respond in kind.
Sounds stupid, but people say it works, and in this case, I really hope it does.

Here are some of the pictures of
Christina Ricci's photoshoot with
Another Magazine. These shots are in
the magazine's new issue (no. 12). I
really like some of these shots!

She is just so hot...
As if spending two hours
watching Samuel L. Jackson
yelling at a chain, half naked
Christina Ricci wasn't enough
of a reason to see Black
Snake Moan, Christina Ricci's
nude sex scene with Justin
Timberlake should be. For
the ladies, as well as the
guys.
Of course, it's not like you
have to go to the theatres to
see said sex scene, though,
because it's right here, too.
The clip is short, but I'm
pretty sure there's some very
brief Christina Ricci nipple
action. Sorry ladies, I wasn't
checking for any Justin
Timberlake nipple action.
Oh, and why the hell is Justin
Timberlake in every single
movie these days?
