Trivia
Her father, before becoming a lawyer, was a lay practitioner of "primal scream therapy"--wherein it was believed that patients could purportedly scream their way to a psychological breakthrough. While growing up, Christina could hear the screaming coming through the the vents in her room (her father did his therapy sessions at home), and would act them out in front of her mother.
Quotes
I spend a lot of time with my mother. When I'm doing movies, she's
always with me. We spend days being bored in an apartment together
waiting for someone to call and say I'm needed for a shot. Because
we're together so much, we have to get along. We have to find ways to
get to know each other. We've gone through a lot of stuff, you know,
and I think we're pretty close.
