A veteran actress and ambitious Future GhostThe Christina Ricci already have plans to haunt their star on Walk of Fame. “It’s a really good corner,” Ricci told IndieWire and stood at the intersection between Hollywood and Argyle.
More than 2,800 celebrities from all the time TVThe filmSport and music have their names embarzed on the city’s most iconic sidewalk. On March 6, the Chamber of Commerce revealed Ricci’s Honorific in a particularly special place. Her star is Catty-corner of Amoeba music, across the street from the world-famous Pantages Theater, and easy access through Hollywood and Vine Metro Stop.
“What I’m more excited about is the fact that we are across the street from the Froliska Room, which is in the fantastic Cassavetes movie with Gena Rowlands,” Ricci said. “She goes there when she has a freakout one night. It has been there forever, and I used to go there at the age of twenty. I really like it’s there. I like this whole area. I have spent a lot of time in my life here. “
Ricci broke out as a child actor in classic 90s films, including “The Addams Family” and “Mermaids”, but the specific Cassavetes title she refers to – “A woman under influence” (1974) – evokes the rebellious spirit that ran the rest of her critically acclaimed career. Known for indie girls (think “Buffalo ’66”) as much as popular TV series (“Yellowjacket’s” hive, get up!), Ricci has spent the last 36 years crawling through the coolest corners of the entertainment industry on her spider lashes.
“I hope we can get back to things driven by people who love movies and television – instead of by people who run business really well,” Ricci told IndieWire, when asked about The future of filmmaking. “I would say it’s the only thing I notice as an artist that is very challenging.”
During its emotional acceptance number, Ricci reminded us to take childhood trips with his mother from New Jersey to the Hard Authority in New York for auditions. Walk of Fame Honoree talked about the difficulty she experienced moving through the world at that age, and did not always feel that her unique gifts were valued before finding her niche in the industry.
“From the moment I began to act, I knew it was meant to be,” Ricci said on stage. “I’m just here and will be forever to be here at Hollywood and Argyle – I will haunt my star when I die, so I just come Always be here – I’m only here because of the incredible people in my life who have traveled this path with me. “
Among the ceremonies speakers, actor Dan Bucatinsky reflected on her friendship with Ricci, who the couple opened when she was only 19. The rising star moved in with Bucatinsky and his partner Don Roos in 1998 after appeared in Roos’ movie, “The transverse of sex.” Bucatinsky wears a Gucci costume purchased for him by Ricci all these years ago, Bucatinsky also pulled a couple of platform boots that he stole from her old room and lifted them up before the audience as a trophy.
“Christina herself, like this suit, is timeless. She does not age, “said the actor. “For me you will always be like my little sister – who knows more, who knows better, how to get past in life by seeing the truth, talking the truth, knowing when to laugh on it and when to turn it around.”
Later in the ceremony, Ricci actually gave Bucatinsky middle finger, loving. She described the stupid details he shared from her young adult age (boss among them, that she used to chew the fat but not the meat from foremost steaks in restaurants) that reflects her story as “a rejecting teenage measure.” But more than that, Bucatinsky’s comments caught Ricci’s strength as not only a familiar actor-without a self-obsessed figure of pop culture known for its sharp style and “Sardonic Wit.”
“I was lucky enough to get” monster “with Christina and it was such a deeply beautiful experience,” said filmmaker Patty JenkinsWhich also spoke during the ceremony. Crime Thriller 2003 saw Charlize Theron win the best actress Oscar for playing a serial killer – but decades later the director is still blown by Ricci’s extraordinary support performance. Jenkins, who described screen tests for the project, recalled other actors who swallowed by Theron’s cruelty. And yet, Ricci Jenkins impressed as “the most secret powerful person” she ever met.
“Every time I see about the movie I am like, ‘My God! Christina is like a hero, Jenkins said. “We talked about it at that time and you were like,” It’s not this role for me but I believe in the project. “And you took one for the team.”
Even in the audience at Hollywood and Argyle Ricci received support from her husband, two children and a swarm of “Yellow jackets“Role. Emmy-winning dramatin from Showtime-about a flight accident and a cannibalist girls’ football team-got Ricci’s first nomination for best supportive actress 2022. Walked with Make Jason Ritter, Melanie Lynskey made a look with Tawny Cypress.
“Tawny came in from Colorado! I can’t believe that. I don’t know if I would fly to Colorado for you for a day, “Ricci joked in his speech. “I’m really just so moved.”
A great resuscitation for Ricci, “Yellowjackets” has also helped to start careers for several younger actors who took on the kinds of roles that Ricci would have played at their age. Liv Hewson, Nia Sondaya, Ashley Sutton and Sophie Thatcher celebrated Ricci on the day. They continue to honor her heritage as a scary-campy talent with their own groundbreaking travel through Hollywood.
“She’s a fucking icon!” said Thatcher and sprinted after a waiting car outside the ceremony’s reception. The 24-year-old can be seen right now on the small screen with Ricci in the thick of “Yellowjacket’s” season 3. She also comes from many hit horror movies, including “Companion” and “Heretic.” Known as something of a wandering record box with the same chameleon look has Ricci-Tatcher oozes with affection for the Ricci head roles that have shaped her love for the craft.
“She was always one of my idols,” Thatcher told IndieWire. “I’m so happy that they talked about” Monster. “I’m so happy that they talked about ‘Prozac Nation.’ “A real Cinephile, Ricci’s heir seems to be the exact type of person that many great talents want back for the entertainment industry. Thatcher was also pleased to hear about the possibility “Casper” The actress haunts together with Cassavetes.
“I love to see our younger artists,” Ricci told IndieWire, when asked about the role “Yellowjackets”. “I love what they do. They are so strong individuals and they are so self -evident, so talented and to see the very specific personalities they take on and represent really fill me with so much joy. Because in the 90s, that’s the kind of teenager I was. I was punk rock and I liked things that were not trendy, and I just had a very strong identity. I’ve always respected the stars that have it. “
