Celebrity Travel: Go Away With Christina Ricci
Moviegoers have watched Christina Ricci grow up on screen. After earning rave reviews for her portrayal of Wednesday Addams in 1991's "The Addams Family," she transitioned into more mature parts in films such as "Sleepy Hollow," "Prozac Nation" and "Monster." Her latest role is portraying Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald in Amazon Prime Video's "Z: The Beginning of Everything." The fictionalized series focuses on Zelda and her future husband, F. Scott Fitzgerald. During a break from filming, Ricci did a phone interview to share some of her travel stories.
Q. You live and work in New York City. How would you describe the city?
A. New York has such a unique identity. The city definitely feels to me like I'm living and breathing history. There's so much history and so many secrets here. It's a really magical and romantic place in that there are so many stories here.
Q. Where are some of the locations you've traveled to for your work?
A. Oh, so many places. I've filmed in Canada, England, France, Australia, Bulgaria, Germany and Ireland. ... Within this country, I've shot in Montana, Arizona, Nevada, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee and, of course, New York for this series. I've been to a lot of places.
Q. You portrayed a flight attendant in "Pan Am." Having a taste of the glamorous days of flying, what's your take on our more casual approach to travel?
A. I like being comfortable and casual, but I also like when people look really put together. I don't like seeing people in jammies on the airplanes. When I was little, my mother always had a traveling outfit and it was her smartest look. I like the idea of having a sharp travel look. I don't do it well, but it's something that I strive for. When I see a woman who's put together, I want to go up to her and ask how she manages (Laughs). I think it may be all about the cashmere.
Q. What was the first trip you took as a child?
A. The first flight I ever took was when I was 8 years old. I flew to Los Angeles for a commercial. It was the first time I flew first class. It was the first time I ever stayed in a really fancy hotel and I remember every detail of that trip. It was so exciting. Nothing seemed more glamorous than when we stayed at the Sunset Marquis hotel. I felt really special. They had bunnies in the garden. That was heaven on earth for a little girl.
Q. Do you travel with your child often?
