While she may be known in 2020 as the younger sister of the hardworking reporter Delilah in season two of Netflix's hit show You, Jenna Ortega [1] has charmed us for longer than that. Before her Netflix role [2], she snagged her first acting credit when she was just 9 years old in the TV show Rob. Since then, she caught the world's attention in 2014 when she appeared as young Jane on Jane the Virgin, and in 2016, she was cast as the main character in the hit Disney Channel series Stuck in the Middle, which gave her career the fuel it needed to launch her into the spotlight.
Along with her impressive acting roles, Jenna's Instagram also caught our attention. If you don't follow Jenna on Instagram, you're missing out, because it's where she takes us to see her life behind the Netflix screen. This rising star's life happens to include trips to Disneyland, standing up for causes she believes in [3], and, oh yeah, hanging out with other beloved celebs [4] like Selena Gomez [5]. Take a look to see just what we love about her greatest Instagram posts yet, which include, but are not limited to, major beauty looks we could only dream of capturing ourselves and pictures that prove she's the coolest 17-year-old on the 'gram.
