Christina Ricci is a famous American actress who started her career at an early age and established herself as a child actress. She started her film career at the age of nine and though she never had any formal training, she impressed everyone with her acting skills. Unlike many child actors who are unable to establish themselves in adult roles, Christina Ricci faced no such difficulty. Her first adult role at the age of 17 established her acting credibility and she went on to act in several high-budget films thereafter. She has performed on Broadway and has also acted in television serials and onstage as well. She has also tried her hand at directing movies. She is a self-confessed shopaholic and is known to have made several extravagant fashion purchases. But there is another side to Christina Ricci; she is the national spokesperson for the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN), an American anti-sexual assault organization.
