Probably die-hard fans of the Addams family knew this all along, but for many people it may come as a pleasant surprise.
Although the first series about the Addams family was made back in the 1960s, the 1991 one is said to be the original and the best one. Opinions are, of course, divided, while it is known that the newer one is definitely more popular and widespread.
For many people, the actors in this version were much better chosen, and the fact that the production was shot in later years made everything generally look better and more interesting in it. Although it must be admitted that the oldest version of Addams also has its own unusual atmosphere.
The original Wednesday in a new Netflix series?
Christina Ricci is the actress who, at the age of 11, played the role of Wednesday in the Addams family of the 1990s, and many people claim that she is the original Wednesday that they remember, for example, from their childhood.
Meanwhile, in Netflix’s latest series about the dark daughter of the Addams family, Jenna Ortega has taken on the role of the main character, and she has quickly gained popularity. For many, this is a huge discovery, and the 20-year-old actress adds a breath of fresh air to the character of Wednesday.
However, not everyone knows that the original Wednesday is also in Netflix’s latest creation, and she is not an episodic character at all but appears on screen a number of times indeed. Who is it about? Christina Ricci in the latest Wednesday plays Marilyn Thornhill, who is a bilogy teacher at Nevermore School.
While at first glance you may not recognize her completely, die-hard fans of the Addams family have probably known for a long time about Christina playing in the latest series. Interestingly – Jenna Ortega in an interview with Teen Vogue revealed that they talked together about the character Wednesday, and Jenna even sought various advice from Christina regarding the character.
