"Every
single kid in my group of friends at school
was from a single-parent family."

At
Seven years old she began by performing in a school
play. A movie critic noticed her and encouraged
her parents to get her an agent, and they soon did.
As it turns out, it's a good thing that agent found
her. She says that if she hadn't gone into acting,
she would have been a runaway on Hollywood Boulevard.
Or maybe even dead.
One year
later, Christina was signed on to perform in "Mermaids"
with Cher and Winona Ryder. The role of Wednesday
in The Addams Family would follow, and finally Casper,
the film that established her as a child star. The
film was downplayed by critics, but alas, embraced
by audiences.
Christina
stepped up and made a name for herself completely
separate of her kid roles. The Ice Storm, Ang Lee's
powerful 70s drama, was the film that saw Christina
grow up. She displayed her amazing ability in the
critically acclaimed role of Wendy. But, before
critics could write her out, Christina popped out
three huge indie successes that dropped her on the
list of 'A-List Hollywood Actresses': Pecker, The
Opposite of Sex, and Buffalo '66. The Opposite of
Sex received the most praise, as it was also Lisa
Kudrow's (Friends) turn to step out and prove herself.
The most
incredible part of her carreer are the roles she
never got to play. She was been turned down for
roles in Jurassic Park, Little Women, Titanic (as
Rose), Lolita (as Lolita), Batman & Robin, and Romeo
+ Juliet (as Juliet). If she had gotten even one
of these major roles, she might be an even bigger
star today. |
