CHRISTINA RICCI (Amanda) virtually grew up in front of the camera to emerge as one of the most respected actresses of her generation. In 1999, she was honored with Golden Globe, Independent Spirit Award, and American Comedy Award nominations for her wickedly funny performance as DeDee Truit in "The Opposite of Sex." She also won the National Board of Review Award for Best Supporting Actress for her work in that film, as well as "Buffalo 66" and "Pecker." In addition, she won two consecutive Blockbuster Entertainment Awards for her roles in Tim Burton’s "Sleepy Hollow" and the thriller "Bless the Child."
Ricci first made her name with an impressive roster of younger roles, beginning at the age of eight when she played Cher’s youngest daughter in "Mermaids." She went on to play the comically macabre daughter Wednesday in Barry Sonnenfeld’s mega-hit comedy "The Addams Family" and its hit sequel "Addams Family Values." She later starred in the 1995 summer hit "Casper." That same year, Ricci earned the prestigious Star of the Year Award at ShoWest.
In 1997, Ricci made a seamless transition to more mature roles with her widely praised performance in Ang Lee’s acclaimed ensemble drama "The Ice Storm." She subsequently had a memorable cameo role in Terry Gilliam’s "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas." She also starred in "Prozac Nation," which marked her producing debut; "The Man Who Cried"; the award-winning cable docudrama "The Laramie Project"; "Pumpkin," which she also produced; and "The Gathering."
Following "Anything Else," Ricci will be seen in several features, including "Monster," with Charlize Theron; "I Love Your Work," directed by Adam Goldberg; and "Cursed," for director Wes Craven.
