Jenna Ortega has been in films since the age of six, but she gained worldwide recognition at the age of 20 by playing the role of Wednesday. She is known as a rising star in Hollywood and is predicted to have a bright future.
She came up with a dance that took social media by storm and went viral. She said that Tim Burton directed her to perform the number and gave her only two days to prepare.
“I only had two days to prepare, I didn’t have any choreography planned for the filming. This dance was completely improvised. I remember being told it was going to be a hit, but I didn’t believe it.”
The actress was born on September 27, 2002 in a large family. Ortega has six siblings. She has Mexican and Puerto Rican heritage. She started acting at a very young age, which prevented her from receiving a traditional education.
According to the actress, she decided to become an actress in 2004 after seeing the movie “Anger.” She was so captivated by Dakota Fanning’s performance that her main dream became to act in a movie.
“I told my mom I wanted to be the Puerto Rican version of that actress.”
One day, Jenna’s mother posted a video of her daughter on her social media page with the caption: “My little drama queen.” One of the video casting directors noticed the talented girl and invited her to a meeting. After some time, she started appearing in commercials.
At the age of 11, she appeared in the movie “Iron Man 3”, where she played the role of the vice president’s daughter. And in 2014, one of the most significant films in her career “Jane the Virgin” was released. She played the lead role. In 2016, she was cast in the television series “Harley’s Life,” where Jenna made her successful debut.
Ortega also started doing voice-over work for cartoons, and it turned out great. Fans call Jenna “the queen of horror movies” because she has already participated in several films of the genre, including “X,” “Nanny,” and “Scream.”
She is a big fan of the series “Stranger Things,” which was recently surpassed by the series “Wednesday,” in which she stars.
Jenna loves to read, and she also learned to play the cello for her role as Wednesday. At the age of 20, she already has several nominations and awards including the Golden Globe.
The actress does not discuss her personal relationships in interviews. By the way, she has also been rumored to be in a relationship with Percy White, who plays Xavier in the series. The young Hollywood star will soon venture into producing.
Jenna has aspirations to become a director in the future, but she is currently focused on her acting career. In the near future, several new works featuring the actor will be released. The horror film “Scream 6,” the thriller “The Best View,” and the drama-comedy “The Miller’s Girl.”
