Who is Jenna Ortega?
Born September 27, 2002, Jenna Ortega is known as an American actress.
She first stepped into the entertainment industry back in the early 2010s after appearing in films like Iron Man 3 and Insidious: Chapter 2.

She has also lent her voice to the popular Disney series, Elena of Avalor.
In May 2023 Jenna Ortega was caught smoking while out and about with a friend.
The star and fellow actress Gideon Aldon were spotted in Notting Hill, West London.
The two American actresses enjoyed a day out while enjoying drinks and having a smoke — despite a no-smoking sign above them.
The pair were also spotted having a conversation while sitting at a table while taking a few selfies.
Jenna wore a see-through long-sleeved shirt with a blank tank top underneath as well as green cargo pants and boots.
The Wednesday star wore her hair in a ponytail with her bangs flowing in the wind and a pair of sunglasses on top of her head.
A video of Jenna smoking went viral in an online forum to share their thoughts on the actress taking part in the bad habit.
Jenna's mom Natalie, a nurse, slammed her daughter's smoking habit in an Instagram Story.
She posted a series of photos on her Instagram story that explain the health risks of smoking.
Natalie listed lung cancer, cigarette stench, damaged teeth and gums, cataracts, brittle bones, and oral cancer.
Before she went into the details, she posted a meme of Gollum from Lord of the Rings.
The meme said: "Don't believe those lies about cigarettes being bad for you. I've been smoking for most my 21 years and I feel great!"
She also posted a screenshot that said: "The problem with smoking is that most people find the smell to be repulsive. That quickly counters anything about the visuals that look 'cool.'"
Another post read: "No matter who you are and how big you get, always surround yourself with the people who will tell you the truth."
