Christina
was born in 1980 in California, USA, the youngest of four children. 'I had a
strange childhood,'
Christina remembers. 'I was never close to my mother or father. But I loved
acting. I was lucky. A Hollywood agent
saw me in
a school play when I was six years old...' Christina's
first film was Mermaids (1990) with the famous singer and actress Cher.
She became famous as Wednesday – the serious-looking girl in The Addams
Family (1991) and The Addams Family Values (1993). 'The director
told me
to show no feelings,' Christina remembers. 'That was easy.' After Casper
(1995), Christina disappeared from films for a short time. She tried to get
parts in Romeo and Juliet, Jurassic Park and Titanic, but
without success. Slowly, she began to be successful again. She was in The Ice
Storm (1997), with Kevin Kline. In Buffalo 66 (1998), she was very
good – as a girl who shows no feelings again! In the same year, she played a pregnant
teenager
who destroys her family’s lives in The Opposite of Sex, and a girl
called Lucy in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Then, in 1999, she was in Sleepy
Hollow with her good friend, Johnny Depp. It was a big success. In this film
she was a princess. 'At last, I played a woman who is not strange,' Christina
laughs. 'Film-makers usually ask me to play strange, mysterious people. But I'm
not strange in real life.' Christina
tries to live an ordinary life in New York, away from Hollywood. But she is
becoming one of the busiest actors in America. She acted with Johnny Depp again
in The Man Who Cried (2000). People can now see her in Bless the Child.
She plays . . . another strange girl with a dark, mysterious side! Not
many famous child actors become successful adult stars. But, like Jodie Foster,
Christina has succeeded. What is her secret? 'I'm not interested in my
characters' feelings,' Christina explains. 'I'm completely different to my
father. He was a psychiatrist.
He understood people's feelings, but he left home when I was 13. I haven't seen
him for five years. Maybe that's why I'm not interested in my characters'
feelings. I just try to play reality.' Christina
is making a new film now – Pumpkin. In this film, she plays a cheerleader.
'But a cheerleader with a dark side,' she jokes . . . star: bintang childhood: masa anak-anak agent: agen pencari bakat director: sutradara pregnant: hamil character: karakter psychiatrist: psikiater reality: berdasarkan kenyataan cheerleader: pemandu sorak
