Respectfully, that's what all good actors and actresses do and that's what makes it a job. Things have come allot easier for the newer aged "celebrities" we see now a days so when we see someone actually doing what they are supposed to be doing, people tend to glorify it, but to me, this is the "norm" I grew up with artists like Michael Jackson and Prince. I love to see Young talent like Jenna actually put in work, it's refreshing to see. 😊

Jenna Ortega is an incredible human being! It still blows my mind that weird and goth and geek and all these things that when I was a kid were SHAMEFUL and embarrassing are now mainstream and cool. I was obsessed with Tim Burton when I was a kid, especially Betelgeuse, as well as vampires and other things people thought was weird. I even remember convincing myself I was a missing member of the Addams Family that my actual family had adopted to which my mum responded, "if you were adopted we would have given you back!" 🤣 She portrayed Wednesday perfectly and her commitment to the character is unlike anything I've ever seen.

[@BrokeredHeart]

The dance scene was just so refreshing and took place at the right time in the season. Wednesday comes off as this sullen teenager with some very niche skills like fencing, and the cello, and archery, but she's been refusing to show too much of herself to the other Nevermore students. When she finally cuts loose, it reminded everyone that she is not a wallflower, or some shy character who is standoffish in social situations, she commands that dance floor by parking herself and her date right in the middle of it so she can show off, just like how her parents Gomez and Morticia would have done. Being a fan of dance, and a dance student for years, hearing Jenna list off her inspirations for the choreo she put together made me smile! She took some very quirky and iconic dance styles and made them feel new and exciting again, without breaking character for a second. Everything she drew from was totally in keeping with the Wednesday Addams we've known for decades. Bold, subversive, unique, a touch of humor, and totally entrancing. There's a good reason why so many people are drawn to that scene from the show.

I seen this interview live when it came on NBC and it was the first time I seen Jenna Ortega and I fell in love. I went straight to Google search on my phone and wanted to know more about this beautiful woman. Next I started seeing the dance vids and really thought it looked quite unique. LOVE YOU JENNA!!😍💖

Some people are just naturally gifted. If you love your work, it isn't work anymore. It becomes infatuation and you lose track of time because of your immersion. This is exactly how I perceive her preparation for this role. She will be a hot commodity for producers and directors for future projects because of it.

@@samusiran2243 Understand context. Understand the English language. There are 267 thumbs up from people that understand the intent of this post. But for the people, like you, that lack critical thinking skills, let me clarify. She was complimented entirely within the realm of her dedication to her craft and for her professionalism. Never once with reference to her sexuality or gender. It is YOU that made this connection and it shows where YOUR head is at. Not mine. Your lack of observation and comprehension is EXACTLY why there is a brewing "anti-woke" movement in America. A movement I don't necessarily agree with, but people like you make it easy for me to understand why. People, like you, that search for reasons to be offended. Small, petty reasons that don't exist anywhere else except for within your head. I suggest you learn a new word today. Look up the definition of Semantics.
