Wednesday star Jenna Ortega didn't seek any tips from Christina Ricci. Ortega is the latest actor to play the iconic Addams family daughter, Wednesday Addams, in Netflix's Wednesday, which was helmed by Smallville creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar and famously gothic director Tim Burton. 

While there have been several Addams Family adaptations over the years, one of the most popular is the 1991 movie The Addams Family, which starred a 10-year-old Christina Ricci as the dark and peculiar Wednesday.

 Despite starring in many other films and series since her turns in The Addams Family and 1993 sequel, Addams Family Values, Ricci is still often considered synonymous with the name Wednesday, and viewers were eager to see how Netflix's Wednesday would uphold her legacy with the character.

Ricci stars alongside Ortega in Wednesday as the secretly villainous Ms. Thornhill, who bonds with Wednesday before eventually being discovered as the one behind the murders Wednesday seeks to investigate. Ricci has previously praised Ortega's interpretation of the character, stating that she appreciates the modern elements in the character's look. In addition, Ortega previously expressed her excitement and nervousness at being able to share the screen with Ricci, of whom she is a fan. Despite the actors' mutual appreciation for one another, Ortega revealed during a conversation with MTV News, that she didn't seek advice from Ricci about portraying the Addams family daughter.
