Christina Ricci has been sporting a longer hairstyle these days with the help of a wig — but she’s looking great and quite happy.

The 29-year-old actress was all smiles as she made her way out of a spa in Los Angeles on Wednesday (November 25) ahead of Thanksgiving festivities.

Meanwhile, Christina says she is still embarrassed by her performance in The Ice Storm 12 years ago — because she was totally unprepared for the sexually-charged role.

She was only 17-years-old when she began the transition into more adult movies, starting with Ang Lee’s 1997 film. And the starlet insists she deserves no credit for the critically acclaimed picture, because she didn’t do enough background work to play troubled, sexually-curious Wendy Hood.

She tells the New York Daily News, “All of the actors did their research for that movie, but I didn’t do my homework. People always compliment me on my performance in the movie, but I cannot take credit for it at all because I truly had no idea what the film was about.”
