Christina Ricci Interview
Christina Ricci Interview"Charlize Theron is getting most of the attention for Monster for her physical transformation into serial killer Aileen Wournos. Her performance in the film is balanced by that of Christina Ricci, who plays Wournos’s love, Selby Wall. Selby’s character is not as well documented as Aileen’s, yet writer/director Patty Jenkins incorporated her into the story.
Ricci plays Selby like a helpless child, waiting for Aileen to take her away and care for her. She spends most of the movie in the dark about Wournos’ murders, but must face reality by the end. Ricci, most famous as Wednesday Addams, had never played the typical child. Her early roles in Mermaids, Casper and the Addams Family movies were still take charge kids, continuing into teenage roles in The Opposite of Sex, The Ice Storm and more. "
