Former Child Star Christina Ricci: It’s ‘Abuse’ To Make Your Children Famous

Actress Christina Ricci, whom everyone remembers as the gleefully dour Wednesday from “The Addams Family,” added herself to the list of former child stars speaking out against children being in the spotlight.

Speaking to the New York Post at the Christian Siriano show during New York Fashion Week, the former “Casper” star said that parents who try to “make [their] child famous” commit abuse. Ricci got her start at the age of 9 starring alongside Cher, Winona Ryder, and Bob Hoskins in “Mermaids.”
