Jenna also talked about how she felt meeting Christina Ricci, the original actress who played Wednesday in the 90s. “It was really intimidating because I have so much respect for her as an actress, and being dressed up how she was 30 years ago, it was a little awkward,” she said. “But I felt safe with her on set almost immediately.”
