Because up until then she always came in with a group of friends and rented under one of their accounts. She also always stood in the back of the group. This was right after her whole court case thing. I remember my co-workers making jokes about spotting a box of Goobers in her purse and me getting all upset. Lmao in a playful way but STILL!

Would have loved to hear her talk about “The Age of Innocence” and “Alien Resurrection”. And of course, “Bram Stokers Dracula”. She had the rights to the book and brought the script to Francis Ford Coppola and asked him to direct it. It was her way of making up for having to drop out of Godfather 3 at the final hour due to being sick. It left him in a bind having to cast his daughter Sofia in it, which critics said was a disastrous move. Winona felt bad and came back to Coppola with Dracula and to make peace. Would love to have heard her take on all that.

Beetlejuice is my all time number one fav movie, since I was like 4 and again at 24

[@libbyjett3471]

Wahoo , less than 3 months until the new beetle Juice movie comes out

Mannnn, this lady.. Such an icon. A master at her craft. And I see her other movie roles but baby, her role in The Crucible was and still not talked about enough. I'm still not over it🤯 I hope she's given her flowers in the industry because everything she touches turns to gold❤️

I was a new student from out of town my freshman year in high school, I took Theater as an elective. A girl 2 grades older was in my Theater class, I’ll never forget her. Her name was Alice Grey Lewis & she was goth. She was, in my mind, so cool & mature. I was absolutely fascinated by her. She stood up in class one day & stated to the class “I saw a movie that I think every student in this school needs to see. It’s called Heathers.” She didn’t explain, just sat back down. After school I went to the Indie movie theater that was playing Heathers & watched it by myself. It completely blew my mind & changed how I viewed the cliques. Thank you Alice Grey! You showed me how to spot those girls, and more importantly, avoid them. 🌹

Love Winnona. She's so beautiful. My favorite movie of hers is An American Quilt. Not a blockbuster, but wonderful!

I love you, Winona Ryder! ❤

[@nad0862]

Winona have been part of most of my life being in iconic movies I absolutely love ( Edward Scissorhands, Dracula, Little women ). I think her, Demi Moore, Johnny Depp, Keanu Reeves, Brad Pitt and Patrick Swayze literally personify the late 80´s/90’s to me, just like their movies they always remind me of good old times, when things were just light and fun. I was so overjoyed to reconnect with her trough Stranger things, she really deserved a second chance at success and it was just a full circle moment that she made it through Stranger Things which also surfs on the 80’s nostalgia ❤

[@nickey66]

I always thought Winona was so beautiful, she reminded me of a young Elizabeth Taylor. I have seen most of her movies and the way she was treated by the press is unfortunate. Girl Interrupted is the movie of hers I have probably seen the most. If she does not win an Oscar in her lifetime then she deserves a Lifetime Achievement Oscar .

[@deeobrien5417]

It’s been so wonderful following so many of her movies since I was a kid, she’s been in so many amazing girl roles, she’s just my lifelong favourite ❤❤

[@NoopDoggz]

Thank you Winona... My eternal angel. Long live Noni.

[@ns4869]

I was really hoping she'd talk about Reality Bites, one of my favorite films! There will never be another Winona who can do what she did

[@erincollins3803]

I watched Little Women over & over again as a child. I loved Jo March & Ryder playing her. To this day it is one of my favorite movies♡

[@ogdvb]

The Icon if ever there was one🙌🏼 One of those truly unique actors who happens to be extremely interesting in both the roles that she chooses and as the human being! My heart will forever belong to this magnificent creature♥️♥️♥️

[@j2ster891219]

she is so incredible. i never clicked a video so fast. thank you for asking her these questions! and thank you winona for answering 😁

[@claire-ql1wq]

Me too

[@costasspartan1894]

Winonna Ryder is one of my favorite Actors she's so diverse. She's still as Stunning And Beautiful as she was back in the 80's😁xx

[@Pennysam]

So many amazing and impactful films - Winona, you chose films not to be famous, but to help young women understand themselves better and be more comfortable to own their individual quirkiness. Dark comedy is a lighter way to tackle heavy topics and you manage to do it gently but powerfully all at the same time - awesome 🤩

[@floatingalong]

She's so relatable, makes me think people like us (my case ptsd, insomnia, "weird") aren't alone.

[@mananimal3644]

My absolutely fav GenXer. She is totally awes!

[@btetschner]

[@tyson3577]

Dear god, I have loved seeing her in movies my entire life. She is just sooooooo good and it's even better to see her come back in such a classy way.

[@katdujka4760]

her collection of tom waits shirts I love it

[@natashab3412]

Interesting he lived/s close to where Winona grew up and where i lived for many yrs Her parents may have known him I've met Tw & fam a couple of times. Wish she had lived 10 mins North of the town where she went to hs Def wouldn't have experienced that type of isolating. Teasing But then , it was part of her story that makes her Winona. I guess

[@natashab3412]

Or could be a fashion collab w her bfs clothing Co
