  • From the New York Times this is the interview I'm Lulu Gartner Garcia Navarro this week I sat down with Jenna Ortega, and if you have a tween daughter like I do, this is a very big deal.

  • In 2022, Ortega starred as the title character in Wednesday, the Addams Family reboot produced by Tim Burton for Netflix, and she became an instant hero to both kids and adults like me, who adored her snarky, dark and brutally honest personality.

  • Suddenly Wednesday, and by extension, Ortega, was everywhere on merch, Halloween costumes, all over the Internet, doing her endlessly memeable dance moves.

  • It was the kind of star making, culture saturating event that is life changing for a young actor.

  • But Ortega didn't just suddenly appear out of nowhere.

  • She's been working since she was a kid herself, on the Disney Channel and in shows like Jane the Virgin.

  • As an adult, she's also become a regular in the horror world, starring in both the Scream and X franchises.

  • Ortega is 21 now, and her next big role is in the new movie Beetlejuice.

  • Beetlejuice, the sequel to Burton's 1988 classic where she plays the daughter of Winona Ryder's character.

  • We talked about her time as a child actor, her latina roots, her upcoming projects and her newfound fame.

  • And what came across is that Arteta is a deeply thoughtful and curious person who, like many young people, is still trying to find out who she is, all while dealing with the glare of a massive spotlight.

  • Here's my conversation with Jenna Ortega.
