    . . .

    An interesting story - apparently her dad was just a
    total terror ... almost a Jim Jones class fanatic who
    was prone to insane rants and acts and was physically
    violent.

    Getting into movies got her AWAY from Dad-Loon and
    film sets seemed far more normal/calm/safe than her
    previous real life.

    The USUAL story is that kiddie stars are always
    fucked-up. However, clearly, that's not NECESSARILY
    the case.

    Guess her famous dark dead-pan as 'Wednesday' wasn't
    ALL acting ......

    Ricci has always been kinda under-used. She's a pretty
    fair actress, given good scripts. I guess she's kinda
    past her 'prime' now - LOOKED best in Blacksnake - but
    she's still in the game and does get work. In short
    she's hardly hurtin' ... but if she'd stayed around
    Dad-Loon she might have been DEAD or wearing very
    orange fashions.
