Jenna Marie Ortega (born September 27, 2002) is an American actress. Known for her work in horror, Ortega has been called "Gen Z's scream queen" by media publications. She was featured on The Hollywood Reporter's Power 100 list in 2023 and the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in 2024.
Ortega began acting professionally at age nine, appearing in television commercials and national campaigns. She made her acting debut in the sitcom Rob (2012) and received recognition for her role as a younger version of Jane in The CW comedy-drama series Jane the Virgin (2014–2019). From 2016 to 2018, she had a leading role as Harley Diaz in the Disney Channel series Stuck in the Middle, for which she won an Imagen Award. She expanded into more mature projects afterward, playing Ellie Alves in the thriller series You (2019) and co-starring in the horror-comedy film The Babysitter: Killer Queen (2020), both for Netflix. She received praise for her performance as a traumatized high school student in the drama film The Fallout (2021).
Ortega rose to wider prominence as a scream queen after co-starring in the slasher films Scream (2022), X (2022), and Scream VI (2023). She gained international recognition and critical plaudits for her portrayal of Wednesday Addams in the Netflix horror comedy series Wednesday (2022–present), for which she received nominations at the Golden Globe, Primetime Emmy, and Screen Actors Guild awards. After starring in the commercially successful blockbuster fantasy Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024), she played a troubled young woman in the thriller Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025) and the titular android in the science fiction film Klara and the Sun (2026). Aside from acting, Ortega has been noted for her goth glam style and her support of various charitable causes.
