A dance Jenna Ortega performs as Wednesday Adams on the Netflix series “Wednesday” has gone viral. On “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” the actress explained how it came together.
Ortega said to prepare for the dance, she watched videos of '70s rock band Siouxsie and the Banshees and rock singers Lene Lovich and Nina Hagen,"archival footage of goth kids dancing in clubs in the '80s" and of French actor Denis Lavant in the 1999 film "Beau Travail."
With her dance, the actress also paid tribute to Lisa Loring, who, at age 6, originated the onscreen role of Wednesday Addams in the '60s comedy series "The Addams Family.""I did a little bit of her shuffle that she does," Ortega said."And, of course, they cut out of camera when I did do it, but it's there, I know it is."
Ortega said Netflix officials told her that her dance was"gonna be a thing on TikTok." She added,"And then they were right." Jenna Ortega is making Wednesday Addams her own. "This is a different Wednesday. She's a different person from previous iterations," she told Access Hollywood at the premiere for the series. The 20-year-old wowed on the red carpet at the event in a black Versace dress with a matching veil. She also shared the story behind one of her first red carpet styles.
