Christina Ricci was born on February 12th, 1980 in Santa Monica,
California (USA), as the fourth child of Ralph and Sarah Ricci. Her sibs
are Dante, Pia and Rafael. After being discovered by a talent scout during
a school play (The Twelve Days of Christmas), she got involved in the
movie biz early.
She did
several commercials starting at the age of six, until she finally got her
first movie role in Richard Benjamin's Mermaids (1990), co-starring with
Cher and Winona Ryder. The friendship that developed between Christina and
Cher still lasts, since she often visits Cher in her New York apartment.
She spent
most of her childhood days with her dad, a psychiatrist, in Montclair, New
Jersey. Her life wasn't easy as it seems, since she thinks of her family
as dysfunctional and crazy, and arguments were commonplace. When her
father and her mother, a former fashion model who now works in the real
estate business, finally separated in 1993, she stayed with her mom who
took custody of the kids.
