With starring roles in hits like The Addams Family, Casper, and Now and Then, Christina Ricci definitely cemented herself in '90s pop culture history. She brought surprising charm to Wednesday Addams, conveyed some thoughtful life lessons in Now and Then, and kissed then-heartthrob Devon Sawa not once, but twice on screen — not to mention her movie romance with Johnny Depp. Since then, she's continued to win fans over with onscreen appearances and her funny Twitter feed, and last Summer, she had a baby boy. The actress turns 35 this week, so to celebrate her birthday, take a trip down memory lane to remember all the reasons you couldn't help but envy Christina Ricci back in the '90s.
