Winona Ryder (born Winona Laura Horowitz on October 29, 1971 in Olmsted County, Minnesota) is an Academy Award-nominated and Golden Globe Award winning American actress. She is widely known for her work in the cult classic Heathers, and many other films such as Girl, Interrupted; Little Women; Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands.
Ryder was born in Olmsted County, Minnesota and was named after the nearby city of Winona, and was given her middle-name, Laura, because of her parent's friendship with Aldous Huxley's wife, Laura Huxley.
Ryder's breakthrough film is arguably Tim Burton's 1988 film Beetlejuice, in which she played a goth teenager named Lydia who is suffering from depression induced by the extreme consumer worldview her parents represent. Lydia's family move to a haunted house populated by ghosts played by Geena Davis, Alec Baldwin and Michael Keaton and Lydia is the only human with a strong empathy and sympathy towards the ghosts and their situation. The movie went on to become a huge success.
In 1989, Ryder starred in the cult movie Heathers. Although it is now regarded as her best film, her agent initially opposed her taking the role. Her character is opposed to violence as a way to resolve conflicts and is able to express her views by stopping major violent accidents from happening.
In 2006, After a long dry spell, Ryder appeared in Richard Linklater's A Scanner Darkly, a futuristic movie based on Philip K. Dick's famous novel. Ryder portrayed Donna Hawthorne also starring are Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey Jr and Woody Harrelson. Live action scenes were transformed with rotoscope software and the film was entirely animated.
