Christina Ricci (born February 12 , 1980 ) is an American actress. BIOGRAPHY Early life Ricci was born in Santa Monica, California , the fourth child of Ralph Ricci and Sarah Murdoch. The family moved to Montclair, New Jersey , where she grew up attending Edgemont Elementary School, Mount Hebron Middle School and Montclair High School . Her siblings are Dante, Pia and Rafael. She is of mostly Scottish - Irish ancestry, although her great-grandfather was Italian ; Ricci has said that "the Italian blood has been bred out of me. There's an Italian four or five generations back who married an Irish woman and they all had sons. So they married more Irish women, there were more sons, and more Irish women. Now I'm basically Scots-Irish." {Link without Title} Career Ricci made her cinematic debut at the age of 9 alongside Cher , Bob Hoskins , and Winona Ryder in '' Mermaids ''. She auditioned for the roles that were eventually played by Kirsten Dunst in the films '' Little Women '' and '' Interview With The Vampire ''. She also appeared in the video for Moby's song "Natural Blues," and in ads for The Gap . Ricci is perhaps best known for her roles in '' The Addams Family '' films, '' Sleepy Hollow '', '' Monster '' and independent films including '' Buffalo 66 '', '' Prozac Nation '', and '' The Opposite Of Sex ''. She has also begun producing films. Ricci notably refused to appear nude on film for a long time, stating that she would only do so for legitimate artistic reasons. She appeared naked for the first time in the film ''Prozac Nation''; despite the film never being released theatrically, clips and stills from the film featuring a topless Christina became an instant hit all over the internet. Ironically, despite her refusal to appear nude on film (''Prozac Nation'' being so far the only exception), Christina Ricci is notable for frequently appearing at film premieres and similar events braless and/or wearing see-through clothing, making her a popular feature on Celebrity Websites . Minnesota -based Hip Hop artist Slug of Atmosphere and west coast based Murs , of the Living Legends crew made an album dedicated to Ricci, titled '' Felt - A Tribute To Christina Ricci ''. The first part of ''Goddess of Doom'', a song by Finnish Doom Metal -band Reverend Bizarre , is also a tribute to her. Personal life Ricci has several Tattoo s, including a bouquet of Sweet Pea s on her lower back, a Bat on her bikini line, a Lion on her shoulder blade and others. QUOTE
