Christina Ricci: People ‘Like To Assume I’m Stupid Before I Open My Mouth’ | NewsBurrow

Christina Ricci’s experiences being ignored were essential to entering into her “Yellowjackets” character.

The star provides an effective efficiency in the Showtime drama as disturbing oddball Misty Quigley, among the now-adult survivors of an airplane wreck that left a high school ladies’ soccer group stranded in the wilderness for 19 months in the 1990 s.

Misty’s unpopular, simple attitude belies both her severe proficiency (you ‘d never ever think she’s such a professional at disabling cars and trucks) along with her more troubling characteristics (for instance, that she appears to be absolutely great with delicately disabling individuals’s vehicles).

I enjoy the concept of an individual who, the only practical method for them to reveal their rage is passive aggressiveness,” Ricci informed the Los Angeles Times in a prolonged interview released today. “She’s a little lady. She looks entirely harmless and has no social currency. She’s not ‘hot.’ She’s not captivating. She’s not cool.”

Ricci, who initially shot to popularity as a kid through motion pictures “Mermaids” and “The Addams Household,” stated she directed the sort of overturned rage she’s felt in her own life.

” I am a little lady who obviously is lovable to individuals who like to touch me and not take me seriously and like to presume I’m silly prior to I open my mouth,” she stated. “And I’m a starlet who didn’t go to college, so I need to be truly dumb. I handle my anger in an extremely passive-aggressive method also when I’m out in public or in the streets or handling somebody in the parking area who’s cut me off.”

Misty appearances quite various from IRL Ricci– the character rocks big glasses and a curly grayish blonde wig. Ricci stated she and star Sammi Hanratty, who plays teenager Misty, both discovered that getting into hair and makeup supplied even more insight into the character.

” When we placed on the glasses and the wigs, suddenly individuals would begin treating us in a different way,” she stated. “Individuals would begin teasing me and making corny jokes, dismissing me. … [Sammi] and I discussed how it’s so useful to be dealt with that method and to then use that to playing a character that’s been treated in this manner her entire life.”

The “Yellowjackets” Season 1 ending airs on Sunday at 10 p.m. ET on Showtime.
