Christina Ricci is a Former Child Star, and now respected actress in her own right. Ricci acted in such movies as Mermaids (alongside Cher and Winona Ryder), The Addams Family motion pictures, and as an adult in The Opposite of Sex, Buffalo '66, Sleepy Hollow, Monster and the remake of That Darn Cat. Most recently, she has appeared in the films Speed Racer and New York, I Love You. Also starred as Sexy Stewardess Maggie on Pan Am.

Christina Ricci provides examples of the following tropes:

Deliberately Cute Child: In her child actress days.
Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette
Femme Fatale: In The Opposite of Sex and Black Snake Moan.
Fille Fatale
Goth
Hazel Eyes
Little Professor Dialog: Prone to this as a child.
Mysterious Waif
Older Than They Look
Raven Hair, Ivory Skin
Shiny Midnight Black: Her hair colour.
Short Dark And Bishoujo
The Rival: In her child acting days she was both this and a Distaff Counterpart to Macaulay Culkin. As she got older, Christina on several occasions found herself being offered roles that Natalie Portman had for one reason or another (usually her schooling) turned down; rather than be insulted, Ricci chose to view it as a plus that if Portman was unavailable, she was the second choice.
Wise Beyond Their Years: As a child she was known to be very precocious, as well as very professional. Director Barry Sonnenfeld, who worked with her on the first Addams Family movie, commented that working with Ricci had to have been what it was like to work with Jodie Foster as a child.
