About Winona Ryder
Meet Winona Laura Horowitz, known professionally as the talented Winona Ryder! Born on October 29, 1971, this American actress has won a Golden Globe Award and has been nominated for two Academy Awards. In her earlier career, she was admired for her unique and quirky roles, which eventually led to her taking on more prominent parts in the 1990s.
Ryder's film debut was in Lucas (1986), but it was her performance in Tim Burton's Beetlejuice (1988) that truly caught people's attention. This role was followed by her breakthrough performances in Heathers (1989), Mermaids (1990), Edward Scissorhands (1990), and Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992). Her critically acclaimed portrayals of May Welland in Martin Scorsese's The Age of Innocence (1993) and Jo March in the fifth film adaptation of Little Women (1994) earned her two consecutive Academy Award nominations.
Throughout the 1990s, Ryder continued to shine in films such as Reality Bites (1994), How to Make an American Quilt (1995), The Crucible (1996), Alien Resurrection (1997), Celebrity (1998), and Girl, Interrupted (1999), which she also executive-produced. However, her career took a turn after starring in the critically panned box office hit Mr. Deeds (2002). She then decided to take a break from films.
In 2009, Ryder made a comeback in the high-profile film Star Trek. She also received two Screen Actors Guild nominations in 2010 for her role in the television film When Love Is Not Enough: The Lois Wilson Story and as part of the cast of Black Swan. Additionally, she reunited with Tim Burton for Frankenweenie (2012). Ryder has been playing the character Joyce Byers in the Netflix science fiction horror series Stranger Things (2016–present), earning her Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild nominations. In 2020, she starred in the HBO drama miniseries The Plot Against America.
Besides her acting career, Ryder has had her fair share of personal struggles and media attention. Her relationship with Johnny Depp in the early 1990s and a 2001 arrest for shoplifting were both widely covered by tabloids. She has been open about her anxiety and depression, which led to her receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2000.
