Jenna Ortega

Ortega's rise to fame includes notable roles such as young Jane in "Jane the Virgin" and the lead in the Disney Channel series "Stuck in the Middle," for which she won an Imagen Award. She gained further recognition for her performances in "You," "Yes Day," and "The Fallout." In 2022, she starred in the slasher films "Scream" and "X," which solidified her status as a scream queen.

She has also authored a book, "It's All Love: Reflections For Your Heart & Soul," published in 2020. Her career spans both film and television, and she continues to be a prominent figure in the entertainment industry.

Ortega's early life was marked by determination. From age six, she aspired to act, pleading with her mother to pursue it. Her mother eventually posted a video of her performing, which led to a casting director signing her. She moved to Los Angeles for auditions, sometimes traveling six hours each way. She initially faced challenges due to limited roles for Latinas, but this motivated her. She secured parts in 12 national commercials, including three for McDonald's. She dropped out of school during eighth grade to focus on acting in Disney projects. Her family has been a grounding influence. She followed a vegan diet for a long time but became pescatarian while filming "Wednesday." She has amassed 38.1 million Instagram followers.
