Jenna Ortega became a global sensation with her role in Wednesday. Her performance as Wednesday Addams — especially the viral dance scene — took over the internet and made her one of the most talked-about young stars in Hollywood. She choreographed the famous dance herself.

Inspired by gothic moves and classic performances, Ortega created the routine on her own, even while filming under challenging conditions. She filmed while sick. During production, she revealed she had COVID symptoms while shooting some scenes, showing her intense dedication to the role. Jenna started acting at a very young age.

She landed her first roles as a child and gained recognition in Disney projects before transitioning into darker, more mature roles. She is also a voice for her generation. Ortega frequently speaks out on important social issues and uses her platform to inspire young people. She has become a modern “scream queen.” With roles in horror films like Scream and X, she’s quickly built a reputation in the horror genre.
