Christina Ricci Does Blackbook Magazine

Child actors turned Hollywood sex pots like Natalie Portman and Christina Ricci are living proof that you can grow up in the spotlight without becoming a drug-addicted trainwreck with a penchant for drama.

But while Natalie has maintained consistently beautiful, indie queen Christina has undeniably gone through some awkward looking phases.

Still that hasn’t deterred the actress from remaining a popular and sexy in the eyes of Hollywood. Especially as she’s really come into her own the older she’s gotten.

Now at the age of 28, Christina Ricci shows off her more mature, still beautiful look in the May ’08 issue of BlackBook Magazine.

In short: Christina Ricci is child actor turned adult hottie without ever letting her ego or career get off track.
