Lady Gaga did Wednesday Addams’ dance!
December 9th, 2022 under Jenna Ortega, Lady Gaga. [ Comments: none ]

Jenna Ortega danced to Lady Gaga’s Bloody Mary in Wednesday. Therefore, it would make sense that Mama Monster would do Wednesday’s dance to her own song. And it is a nightmare that turned into a dream!

Now, I want see them do it together! Thing would give it one thumb up!

BTWF: Jenna Ortega in Iron Man 3
December 1st, 2022 under Before They Were Famous, Jenna Ortega. [ Comments: 2 ]

Before Jenna Ortega was a member of the Addams Family in Wednesday, she was the Vice President’s daughter in Iron Man 3. How cute was the 10-year-old in that 2013 movie?

This is how Thing came to life in Wednesday
November 28th, 2022 under Jenna Ortega, Netflix. [ Comments: none ]

Jenna Ortega is phenomenal in Wednesday, but what about her co-star who plays Thing? He is just a hand, or is he? Netflix Memes shared a behind-the-scenes photo from the series, and there is a whole body that goes with the hand.

Victor Dorobantu is the man behind the appendage. And the actor was part of the scenes he was in; he was just hidden.

I love that they used a human to play the part and didn’t just CGI him like so many other projects do. That is why Thing is so realistic in the series. It is because he is real.

Jenna Ortega explains how her Wednesday Addams is different
September 23rd, 2022 under Jenna Ortega, Netflix. [ Comments: none ]

There have been several incarnations of Wednesday Addams throughout the decades. She has been played by Lisa Loring, Christina Ricci, Chloe Grace Moretz, and now Jenna Ortega.

Up until now, Wednesday has been part of The Addams Family. However, on November 23rd, she is getting her own series on Netflix from Tim Burton.

Ortega, who is playing the lead role, explains how her version is different than the ones that came before her. “Wednesday is currently a teenager, and we’ve never seen her as a teenager before. Her snarky, snide remarks might not necessarily sound as charming when they’re coming from somebody who should probably know better than a 10-year-old girl,” the actress said.

“That was a balancing act. We didn’t want to make her sound like every other teenage girl, but we also didn’t want to make her too ignorant. And we’ve never seen her on screen this much. Any other time you’ve seen Wednesday, she’s been the one-liner, the end of a joke, she always hits it, and I think that’s what people really love about her. But in this show, every scene is Wednesday. There’s an opportunity to give her a bit more dimension, and she becomes a bit more of a real person, which I don’t think we’ve ever seen before.”

I can’t wait to see what Ortega brings to the part because she is the actress to watch for her generation.

Elena of Avalor is coming to an end on August 23rd
July 21st, 2020 under Disney Kids, Jenna Ortega, Young and Hungry. [ Comments: none ]


A few years ago, I interviewed Aimee Carrero on the set of Young & Hungry, and she told me she was voicing a Disney’s first Latinx Princess Elena of Avalor. As soon as she told me about it, I told my friends, so that my niece would watch it. Not only did she fall in love with the Princess, so did a lot of other little girls. She was an inspiration to all of them.

Now her journey is coming to an end on August 23rd at 7p. Disney Junior is giving her a primetime special as her sendoff. That is when we will see the Princess become a Queen in Elena of Avalor: Coronation Day. Before she gets the jeweled crown put on her head, we can watch her final days as a Princess starting this Sunday and every Sunday leading up the series finale at 5p.

The special will include all of the series regulars, Jenna Ortega, Chris Parnell, Yvette Nicole Brown, Carlos Alazraqui, Emiliano Díez, Julia Vera, Christian Lanz, Jillian Rose Reed, Joseph Haro, Jorge Diaz, Keith Ferguson, and Joe Nunez. They will be joined by guest stars Constance Marie, Lou Diamond Phillips, Jaime Camil, Justina Machado, Gina Rodriguez, Mario Lopez, Rachel Brosnahan, Tony Shalhoub, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, John Leguizamo, Cheech Marin, Whoopi Goldberg, Cloris Leachman, Chrissie Fit, Tyler Posey, Melissa Fumero, Stephanie Beatriz, Kether Donohue, Nestor Carbonell, Andrea Navedo, Eden Espinosa, Ana Ortiz, Gina Torres, Gaby Moreno, Jenny Slate, Mark Hamill, Fred Armisen, Andy Garcia, and Patrick Warburton. That is one star-studded goodbye party.

It is sad that her time is coming to an end, but at least she leaves a Queen, Disney’s first Latinx Queen. Not bad for a girl from Avalor.
