Jenna Ortega biography
Jenna Ortega had been interested in acting since she was six years old. She began receiving auditions at the age of eight, with the help of her mother and agents, and soon made her acting debut in 2012, with a guest appearance for Rob in the episode “Baby Bug.”
Following that, she appeared as Aimee Moore on CSI: NY in the episode “Unspoken.” In 2013, she made her film debut as the vice president’s daughter in the superhero film Iron Man 3.
From 2016 to 2018, Ortega starred as Harley Diaz, the middle child of the seven Diaz siblings and an aspiring inventor, in the Disney Channel sitcom Stuck in the Middle.
The show was well received, and Ortega received an Imagen Award and was nominated for two others for her performance. In the same year, she joined the cast of Disney’s Elena of Avalor as Princess Isabel’s voice, a role she held until 2020.
The show was well received, and she and the cast shared another Imagen Award win and nomination in 2019. She appeared in the music video for Jacob Sartorius’ “Chapstick” in 2017, alongside the singer.

The high-school drama film The Fallout, in which Ortega played the lead role of Vada, was released in March 2021; it was released on HBO Max on January 27, 2022. Cast in February 2020, filming took place in August and September of the same year.
It was well received by critics, and Ortega’s performance was praised, with several critics dubbing it her “breakout” film role.
The chemistry between her and her co-star Maddie Ziegler was praised by CinemaBlend, who stated that the two girls at the center of it all also look phenomenal, as a true bond can be sensed in the process of bringing this story to life.
She has used her platforms to advocate for immigrants and issues concerning them. Ortega is a supporter of the Pride Over Prejudice campaign, which promotes acceptance of the LGBT community; she has been an advocate for the organization since she was 13 years old.
She is pro-immigrant and anti-discrimination, as she explained to Teen Vogue: “Because there are so many different ethnicities in America today, it is critical to embrace your culture. You are, at the end of the day, you. You must remain true to yourself; you cannot change yourself in order to fit in or make someone else feel at ease.”

However, it’s not known what exactly the 20-year-old will receive in compensation on Wednesday. Yet, according to Deadline, the starting pay for actors on Netflix series like 13 Reasons Why and Stranger Things ranged from $20,000 to $60,000 for each episode.
She has made a fortune thus far as a result of all she has done. Jenna’s current net worth is estimated by Celebrity Net Worth to be $3 million. But we believe that this number will continue to increase, much like her Instagram account.
It appears probable that Jenna’s starting pay was in the top half of that range given that she was an established, recognizable actress by the time Wednesday debuted and that she was the show’s exceptional lead actress.
It is predicted that Wednesday’s remuneration would increase given the success of the first season. It’s not unlikely that Jenna might someday make the same as the stars of 13 Reasons Why and Stranger Things if Wednesday is renewed because they started making up to $200,000 and $300,000 per episode, respectively, in later seasons of those shows.
But keep in mind that Jenna was an actress long before she played Wednesday Addams. She appeared in a Rob episode on the CBS television network in 2012.
