From the New York Times, this is the interview. I'm Lulu Garcia Navarro.

This week I sat down with Jenna Ortega, and if you have a tween daughter like I do, this is a very big deal.

In 2022, Ortega starred as the title character in Wednesday,

the Adams Family reboot produced by Tim Burton for Netflix.

And she became an instant hero to both kids

and adults like me, who adored her snarky dark and brutally honest personality.

Suddenly Wednesday and by extension Ortega was everywhere on merch, Halloween

costumes all over the internet doing her endlessly mimmable dance moves.

It was the kind of star-making, culture-saturated event that is life-changing for a young actor.

But Ortega didn't just suddenly appear out of nowhere.

She's been working since she was a kid herself,

on the Disney Channel, and in shows like Jane the Virgin.

where she plays the daughter of Winona Writers' character.

is all while dealing with the glare of a massive spotlight.
