She’s only 20 still young so it’s not impossible for that age to remember details about their childhood. Now if she’s like in her late 20’s or 30’s and still remembers so much about her childhood now that would be really impressive
I have nothing against Millie Bobby Brown, but it feels so refreshing seeing someone else at the top of Netflix in stardom, amazing performance from Jenna.

She is terrible actress in the rest of the movies😂 yall find everyone talented nowadays
She soaked into her role very smoothly and naturally and she ATE IT. Needless to say her dancing performance is totally unforgettable moment of whole series in Wednesday.
Ok but her buying her sisters cheerleader costume is so wholesome 🥺🤍
I love the way she remembers everything. I would not be able to answer like 80% of this questions
The way she talked about her first Splurge wasn’t even for her it was for her sister 🥹 Cheerleading costumes are soooo expensive that’s so sweet
most down to earth interview of a actor treating her job as a job and nothing else, yet keeping clear how happy she is about working with this and having a supportive family around her. Well raised, Jenna. what a cool woman.
" I was eleven [...] and I went to work " such an amazing woman.
jenna's sister is actually really sweet for letting her go about her day without knowing about her fish, it would have really affected her at work being so young im sure
Jenna is soo beautiful as ever and I just love her voice and how she can relate to her characters and still be able to be in character even when she’s not on set and I just love that .
Jenna is such an underrated actress, she's so amazing.
It's so cute that she remember's her first fan's name🥺🥺
she seems like such a cool and interesting person to hang out with and the way she handles everything so professionally and calm is making her look more stunning than she already is. Love her with all my heart. Probably one of my biggest inspirations yet

Its a rare enough thing to see a young actress with humility, maturity and grace in hollywood these days.
I dont know how soooo many people slept on her before. But she is incredible hard working and so so professional. She is one of my inspirations for a long time. And I happy that her work finally exploded. This gurl was on so many projects. Like with 20 years woooow
This attitude and character will make her go far in this industry. Keep it up, Jenna!
Jenna is forever the cutest and most charming person, and I love that she even remembers the name of the first fan to notice her in public 🥰 Absolutely KILLED the role in Wednesday, can’t wait for more
Love how she was crying and laughing while she’s explaining her fish death! 😆
her answers are so wholesome and she seems very down to earth! love to see it

Jenna's first heartbreak is her fish unaliving itself. That's just on brand Wednesday vibes.
jenna is so sweet. she had tears in her eyes while talking about her fish...
The fact that she sobbed for her beta fish is so endearing🥹
jenna: my first heartbreak was a betta fish. *tells her story* *starts "crying"* every teen:
I’ve watched Jenna since her Disney channel days and I love how she’s growing so I still watch her shows in my teen years. Love her ❣️
I love how real she is, she definitely has a bright future ahead of her. One of thee California deserts’ talents, extremely proud of her and rooting for her always!! 🤍🤍
Jenna is such a breath of fresh air in Hollywood! She absolutely crushed her character. No disrespect to the previous , but Jenna just brought wednesday to life like nobody had done before. I’m 42, so I watched reruns as a kid, saw the movies in the 90s and now watched Wednesday and I’m watching it again with my kids this weekend.

I can listen to Jenna all day.. she has that voice.. is so friendly and kind and straightforward..
she's so humble it's so sweet
Jenna Ortega is very talented.
She's charming, funny and interesting I bet hanging out with her would be a blast and the perfect casting for a character like wednesday
I hope she is always loved and supported by people that truly have her best interest in mind and not their own. She doesn't need guidance on how or what she should be she has it in her to figure that out on her own. Glad she is well known now and landed this big role.

I haven't really heard alot of Jenna before maybe a little bit of Stuck in the Middle/You, but after watching Wednesday I hope she goes huge and keeps going because she seems so down to earth and is really sweet and straight driven...there is a certain vibe about her can't really put my finger on it but either way her portrayal of Wednesday is just beyond perfect!!
Jenna always does such an amazing job🖤
That’s nice that Jenna bought the cheerleading costume for her sister, especially as her first big “splurge” 🙂
She’s so authentic and charismatic. 🥹✨
The plot twist and structure of this series is so well done.All the caracters are perfected.
I’d never heard of Jenna until “Wednesday” but she absolutely owned it. Excellent.

Just a beautiful young lady. Love her style and her love for her family. I fell in love with the character portrayed by Christina Ricci and never thought anyone would ever come close to being Wednesday like CR, but Jenna nailed the role and now has a forever fan of her work.
2:00 the fact that she still remember the name of that fan is amazing
she makes me wanna become an actor ❤❤
So fresh and so wholesome! Everybody loves Jenna!
I’m glad she’s getting more recognition
Jenna is amazing!!! I love her acting 💗
Here's to a Season 2! I enjoyed it, and it was refreshing.
everything about jenna Ortega/wednesday you just love
She’s a very great actress and would love to see her in more things for the future
the way she's so well outspoken is so captivating
Me encanta Jenna para el papel de Miércoles, si hubiera un spin off de Miércoles adulto, para su papel sería bueno que escogieran a Emma Roberts, Ella Purnell, Lily Rose o Anya Taylor-Joy, me parece que capturan la esencia perfectamente como lo hizo Jenna.. Pues siento que las dos tienen características definitorias de Wednesday.
She’s so talented.. saw her for the first time on “YOU”
the awkward thing is so me, I feel like I make things awkward or I find myself in awkward situations sometimes and because of that I'm very afraid of one day having to go onto a set with people and actually have to speak to them and then making it this whole awkward thing that it isnt. I relate to so much stuff that Jenna says, awkwardness, being weird etc it's kinda bizarre.
