Winona Ryder has a strong relationship with fantasy. She has acted in many movies of this genre. It is enough to mention “Beetle Juice”, “Edward Nożycoręki”, “Dracula” or the newer “Stranger Things”.
On October 29, 1971, Winona Horowitz, better known as Winona Ryder, the superstar of the 1990s, was born. Her unusual name comes from the city in which she was born (and the name of the city comes from the daughter of the Dakota chieftain who jumped off a rock).
Her family was associated with interesting personalities (the writers and promoters of LSD Timothy Leary, Laura and Aldous Huxley) and Philip K. Dick. In 1978, her parents took little Winona to California, where they lived with others in a hippie commune. After a few years, they moved again, and the girl went to a regular school. She did not win the sympathy of her colleagues and experienced persecution from her peers in the following years.
Her film debut was Lucas (1986), but it was Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice, filmed two years later, that began her great career. Other successes include beloved by many fans Edward Scissorhands with the great role of Johnny Depp, Dracula Coppola with poignant music by Wojciech Kilar, star-studded Ghost House , Alien: Awakening , where she played an android. She briefly appeared in the weird fantasy comedy Being John Malkovich, starring in the psychiatric-set Girl, Interrupted , the horror movie Lost Souls, and the costumed Witches of Salem .
Acting at an early age and amazing successes made her depressed, had anxiety states, and was taking very strong drugs illegally. When she was caught robbing a clothing store in 2001, her career collapsed. She was sentenced to three years’ probation, a fine and community service. After this incident, she appeared sporadically in films for several years, then starred in several major roles, but it was not the same.
She finally starred in the 2009 Star Trek Oscars nominated for 4 and also had a role in the famous psychological horror movie Black Swan (2010). Her career began to gain momentum again. As Elsa van Helsing, she voiced Tim Burton in Frankenween .
She had great intuition, agreeing to take part in the science fiction series Stranger Things (since 2016). There he plays the somewhat neglected mother of a missing boy, who tries to find out what happened to her child. The project, appreciated by viewers, is her first major role in the internet project. On the Netflix platform, he gathered a record audience and was simply showered with nominations and awards.
Ethereal beauty, innocent facial expression and big eyes have seduced countless fans around the world and film partners. The actress was associated with such celebrities as Johnny Depp (the actress was only 19 at the time), Matt Damon and Soul Asylum member Dave Pirner. In 2011, Winona found a safe haven alongside designer Scott Mackinlay Hahn.
But I’ve always felt the need for a life that is completely separate – at least as much as possible – from the illusory lifestyle that comes with being a celebrity.
Most of my wardrobe is vintage and I wore dresses for $ 10 to the Oscars.
When we look at movie stars, we think we are really looking up into the sky and real stars. And these are ordinary people who have followed this path of life, not any other. What do you think about it?
We wish you peace of mind, work-life balance and many more successes to Winonie!
