Jenna Ortega is showing love to her Beetlejuice Beetlejuice co-star Winona Ryder for helping her tackle fame.

The Wednesday star, who first met Ryder as her profile rose due to the hit Netflix series, recently spoke to Harpers Bazaar about how the actor definitely helped her feel less alone.

Its a very isolating experience and a scary one, said Ortega, who spoke to the magazine for a profile on her co-star.

The 21-year-old continued, Being able to speak to somebody who had witnessed that firsthand, maybe even more, was a great source of comfort for me, and I cant thank her enough for that.

Ryder saw a number of breakthrough roles including Heathers and Bram Stokers Dracula arrive in her late teens and early 20s as the Lydia Deetz actor was just 16 when Beetlejuice hit theaters in 1988.

Ortega, who plays Lydia Deetz daughter, Astrid, in the sequel film, described her characters relationship with her fictional mother as very important during an interview with Vanity Fair earlier this year.

And its also really strange because its a lot of catching up and putting the pieces together of whats gone on in Lydias life since, which is nice, I think, for anybody who loves the character and is excited to see her again, Ortega revealed.
