But for actress Jenna Ortega, the process took mere months.

The 20-year-old former child star first found fame on the Disney Channel before making a name for herself as an A-lister on the rise in movies such as The Fallout before being cast in the rebooted Scream franchise.
But the public adoration for her really soared following the launch of her Netflix series Wednesday, where Jenna's portrayal of the beloved Addams Family character, coupled with a dance scene that went viral on TikTok, led to the series breaking a streaming record in its first week.
