Jenna Ortega is only 21, but she’s earned massive fame in her career. She rose to prominence with her role in The CW comedy-drama series Jane the Virgin. Many wouldn’t know, but she struggled a lot during filming the Disney show Stuck In The Middle. And it was way more complicated than her stunts on Wednesday! Scroll below for all the details.
Ortega had to drop out of school in the 8th grade to pursue her love for acting. She bought an apartment in Los Angeles after securing the lead role in Stuck In The Middle (2016-2018).
