Stern on the Walk of Fame: Christina Ricci shows with her family

Actress Christina Ricci (45) has reached another milestone of her impressive career. On Thursday afternoon, the 45 -year -old was honored with her own star on the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame – an award that the actress would never have expected in her own words.

“Since the moment I was at a film set for the first time, I felt at home,” said Ricci “during the ceremony.” But as a young actress, I never believed that I would get such an honor. I always felt like an outsider. “She used the solemn moment to express her gratitude for her environment:” I am only here because of the incredible people in my life who went this way with me. “

At the ceremony, Ricci thanked her family and the colleagues in her current series “Yellow Jackets”, who had appeared especially for support. With husband Mark Hampton, the daughter Cleopatra (3) and son Freddie (10) from her previous marriage, the actress posed radiant for the photographers. It became particularly emotional when she spoke about her mother who was also present: “She started this career with me when I was only eight years old,” Ricci recalled. She taught her that you had to have brains “and made sure that we were not attacked at 9th Avenue – so clever was this woman”.

Ricci’s career began at the tender age of seven when a theater critic became aware of her talent in a Christmas piece. The actress, born in Santa Monica, gave her screen debut at the age of nine in the comedy “Mermaid kissing better” (1990). The international breakthrough followed shortly afterwards with its iconic role as a Wednesday Addams in “The Addams Family” and the fantasy film “Casper”.

Over the course of her career, which is exciting for almost four decades, Ricci has developed from the children’s star into one of the most diverse actresses in Hollywood. After the early success with “Die Addams Family”, she received broad recognition for her performance in Ang Lees (70) drama “The ice storm” and was nominated for a Golden Globe for the comedy “The Opposite of Sex”. Her other films include “Sleepy Hollow”, “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”, “Promise Nation” and “Matrix Resurrections”.
