Christina Ricci, 42, had an old friend supporting her from afar at the 2022 Emmy Awards, where she was nominated for her role in Yellowjackets. Christina’s former Casper co-star, Devon Sawa, 44, shared a photo of the actress on the red carpet to Twitter and gushed over her success. Devon played the human version of the iconic ghost who romances 13-year-old Kat Harvey, played by Christina, in the beloved 1995 film. More Christina Ricci News:

Sadly, Christina didn’t win Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series at this year’s Emmys. That honor went to Ozark star Julia Garner for the third time. Christina was nominated for her performance in Yellowjackets, where she plays the adult version of Misty Quigley opposite Melanie Lynskey, Juliette Lewis, and Tawny Cypress.
