Christina Ricci sent sexy photos to get role
Actress Christina Ricci was so keen to get the role of a promiscuous sexual abuse victim in director Craig Brewer's "Black Snake Moan" that she sent him graphic pictures of herself. According to contactmusic.com, Ricci knew it would be risky to send those kinds of pictures. She says she had to fight hard for the role and her audition went well but the filmmakers were not sure if she could bring out the character's carnal desires.
She said: "My agent started inundating Craig Brewer with photo shoots I had done that are pure sex shots." Ricci had to spend most of the film scantily clad and chained to a radiator and remained half-naked between shots to tap into the psyche of the character.
She modelled herself after Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson while playing the character.
She added: "She (her character) has Britney Spear's hair and Jessica Simpson's inappropriate wardrobe. This is just a microcosmic example of the over-sexualisation of young girls and children.
Even though she is not really a child, she looks like one."
