Winona Laura Horowitz

Winona Ryder is a Hollywood star who won a Golden Globe for her supporting role in The Age of Innocence and a Screen Actors Guild Award for her participation in Stranger Things. Raised in hippie culture, she became the sex symbol of the 90s and the most famous kleptomaniac actress, whose trial is still heard today.

Winona Laura Horowitz, or Winona Ryder, was born in October 1971 in Minnesota. The history of the name of the future actress is quite interesting. The name of Winona was taken from the name of the neighboring town, and Laura was the name of the wife of the writer Aldous Huxley, with whom his father was friends. Winona's parents are writers and publicists. Michael Horowitz and his wife Cynthia have Russian and Romanian roots.

Once their parents, Jews by birth, moved to America. Cynthia Horowitz was fond of Buddhism in her youth. Her two children from her first marriage are named Shunyata and Jubal. Michael Horowitz, whose ancestors bore the name Tomchins, owned a considerable library of psychedelic literature.

Friends of the Horowitz family were just as unusual: the poets Allen Ginsberg and Lawrence Ferlinghetti are famous representatives of the beat generation, and the godfather of the future actress was the American writer, developer of the first psychological tests on computers, Timothy Leary. Winona has a brother, Uri Horowitz, named after Yuri Gagarin.

In 1978, when Winone was 7 years old, the family moved to California, where they chose the Rainbow hippie agricultural commune. Besides them, 7 more families lived in the settlement. There was no electricity or television. On the territory, which occupied more than a kilometer, complete unity with nature reigned. During this period of her life, Winona became addicted to reading. Her favorite book was Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye.

When she was 10 years old, the family moved again. This time to Petaluma, a California city. The girl went to school, where she was mistaken for a boy and immediately beaten. Winona studied at home for a year. At the age of 12, the girl, without interrupting her studies at Petaluma High School, attended acting courses at the Conservatory Theater in San Francisco. She moved to this city in 1989, after graduating from school.

In 1985, Winona participated in screen tests for the role in the film "Desert Flower". Then the girl gave in to another applicant. But during the auditions, director David Seltzer noticed her and invited Lucas to his project. The tape was released in 1986. It is in this year that Winona's cinematic biography begins. This film opened the audience to a new actress, who took the stage name Ryder - from the name of her father's favorite performer, Mitch Ryder.

The second film, entitled "Quadrille", drew attention to the aspiring artist. The Los Angeles Times called her appearance "a wonderful debut." And in 1988, the rising movie star played in the film "Beetlejuice" a young seer who had the gift of discerning ghosts. Alec Baldwin and Michael Keaton appeared here with her.

After the release of 1969, Deadly Attraction and The Hathers Clan, The Washington Post named Winona “the most impressive ingenue (naive girl) in Hollywood”. The last film, although it flopped at the box office, eventually became a cult movie for American teenagers.

In 1990, Ryder played 13-year-old Myra, the cousin whom musician Jerry Lee Lewis married. This brilliant role in the film "Balls of Fire" brought the artist her first award - the Young Artist Awards.

The 1990s became a turning point in Ryder's career. During these years, she played the main role with Johnny Depp in the film "Edward Scissorhands". This is the last project where a fragile artist with expressive eyes reincarnated as a teenager. The tape grossed $ 56 million and brought incredible popularity to the main performers. This was followed by the same brilliant role in the film "Mermaids". For this work, Winona received a nomination for her first Golden Globe.

In the first half of the 1990s, the artist appeared in the form of Mina Harker in the film by the famous Francis Ford Coppola "Bram Stoker's Dracula". She then played the niece of Salvador Allende in House of Spirits. With the existing star composition, the picture failed at the box office. But participation in Martin Scorsese's project "The Age of Innocence" brought the actress "Golden Globe" and the first nomination for the "Oscar".

In 1997, Ryder appeared in the thriller Alien 4: Resurrection. And in 1999 she played the main role in the drama film, Interrupted Life. In this project, she made her debut as a producer. Winona starred opposite Angelina Jolie. The film did not bring the creators a generous box office, but it received high marks from film critics.

In 2000, 2 tapes were released at once, which failed at the box office. Melodrama "Autumn in New York", where Ryder starred with Richard Gere, brought the actors the anti-award "Golden Raspberry". Nevertheless, the film was warmly received by the audience. The second project, Lost Souls, was less successful. In this tape, for the first time, Winona's brother, Uri Horowitz, appeared on the screens.

In October 2000, the actress received a personal star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

In 2002 - again the Golden Raspberry anti-award for the role of Winona in the movie “The Reluctant Millionaire”. Nevertheless, the film grossed more than $ 170 million worldwide.

After a long break, the actress reappears on the screens in the film "Blurred" (2006) and comedy films "Darwin Prize" and "Ten Commandments". In these projects, Winona Ryder's partners were Jessica Alba and the Dutch woman Famke Boemer Janssen.

In 2009, two projects were released that attracted the attention of viewers and film critics. In the first film "Only Calm" Winona Ryder played with actress Hilary Duff, in the second - "The Frequent Life of Pippa Lee" - with Keanu Reeves. The following year, the artist delighted her fans by starring in the film When Love Is Not Enough: The Lois Wilson Story. For this work, Ryder was awarded the Screen Actors Guild of America Award.

One of the last projects in the filmography of the actress was the main role in the mystical series Stranger Things, where Winona was reincarnated as the mother of a missing boy. The film, created in the style of the 80s, received high viewing ratings. As a result, Netflix renewed it for the next season. Winona has received a Screen Actors Guild Award and several prestigious nominations for her work.

In her youth, Winona was considered a real style icon. She was called the "90s grunge godmother" or "gothic princess" for her love of black in her wardrobe and for her quirky, admirable outfits, in which Ryder's fragile figure looked particularly defenseless. Bulky cardigans, dresses with thin straps made the actress, whose height reached 161 cm and weight - 52 kg, especially attractive. Despite the performer's love for deep cleavage, she did not participate in photo shoots in lingerie or a swimsuit.

The artist's impeccable taste was noted by her colleague, the legendary Audrey Hepburn, who once presented a rising star with silk gloves. Not many people know that in fact Ryder is a blonde who, since her youth, is constantly dyed into a brunette. As the star of the screen assures, in matters of fashion, she always acts contrary to generally accepted opinion. Choosing a style of clothing, the performer focuses on Hollywood films of the past, this helps her perceive life as a film.

On the set of Edward Scissorhands, Winona met Johnny Depp. Their flamboyant romance began in 1989 and ended in 1993. Then there was a short romantic relationship with rock musician Dave Pirner and actor Matt Damon. With the latter, the artist was even engaged.

Later, the press discussed her connections with actors Peter Jorn, Conor Oberst and Henry-Alex Rubin. Although Ryder's personal life seemed eventful, it can hardly be called happy. The actress deliberately refuses to have children, believing that the child will become a hindrance in her career.

Ryder suffers from kleptomania. The scandal erupted in December 2001, when the actress was caught stealing jewelry and clothes. Ryder's fans organized an action in support of their favorite called "Free Winona".

Winona Ryder shared that she finally met a real man. It is designer Scott McKinley Hahn. The couple has been living in a civil marriage since 2011.

However, as the actress herself jokingly assures, she has an official husband - this is Keanu Reeves, with whom Winona had a real wedding ceremony on the stage of the film about Dracula. For the filming of the wedding scene of the heroes Ryder and Reeves, a real priest was invited, who performed the entire ritual from start to finish.

The actress does not use social networks to increase her popularity, so she communicates only through her Facebook profile, and Ryder has a fan page on Instagram, where fans post photos of the artist related to her work.

In 2018, with the participation of Winona, the romantic comedy "How to Marry a Bachelor" was shown. This is a conversational melodrama in which the entire plot is focused on two main characters. A couple of the actress on the screen was Keanu Reeves. This is the fourth collaboration between the two stars. Their characters become guests at a wedding, where instead of friendly communication, they begin to bicker with each other.

The actress is currently working on the creation of the third season of the television series Stranger Things. The rating project will appear on screens in mid-2019. Ryder's fee for filming one episode of the new season increased by $ 200 thousand against the previous $ 150 thousand.
