The world of big movies is quite mysterious and unpredictable. Sometimes, in the abyss of obscurity, seemingly promising actors drown. Sometimes people manage to stay at the top of success and don't even see God's spark in them. There are a lot of such groups, and somehow one actress stands out - Winona Ryder.
She cannot be called a standard classical beauty: her whole appearance is a special magic, some kind of nerve. Winona never puts beauty at the top of the game, because Red's main accent is precisely acting. Due to her natural charisma, a woman is able to incarnate a variety of roles – from a capricious lady to a mature and wise mother.
Winona was special as a child. The girl was born into a real hippie family: there was an "acid 70s" in the yard, and it was then that there was a specific atmosphere. The parents of the future actress belong to a certain bohemian: they are engaged in publishing, but they use material things as a hobby. Loyalty to drugs does not stop.
Despite the prosperity of her family, Winona spent all of her childhood in the hippie commune. There is no electricity there, but there are dozens of strange specific people around. Given her love of literature, Ryder could say that her childhood was very specific: she read mystery novels in the hope of isolating herself from the world around her, which scared her.
For her environment, despite the discomfort, Ryder understood. She thinks her parents are big kids, babies, but she can't be angry with them for too long. The future actress played the role of a certain "mom": she followed her younger brother, paid utility bills, and her parents could do something in the midst of a drug frenzy.
Such a childhood cannot help but traumatize Winona: she doesn't like hippie culture, she doesn't like music, she doesn't like the people around her. The girl spends almost all of her free time in the attic, reading old books.
At school, relationships with classmates also do not get along: always in tattered clothes, funny, scared. She was bullied and abused, and some even called her a man because of her short hair.
Winona's parents decided to take a very interesting step. Since their child was not like others around, they decided to send her to drama school. That's where Ryder first found friends and felt comfortable.
Winona dreams of becoming an actress, but due to her shy nature, she is afraid to cast. However, the girl found a way out of the situation - she recorded a video with her performance. No, the director didn't even notice the inconspicuous Ryder, but a year later the tape accidentally "surfaced" during an audition. So Winona got her first role in the movie Lucas. Thanks to that videotape, she was noticed by the famous director Tim Burton, who was looking for an actress for the film Beatlejuice.
Young Winona's performance impressed Burton so much that he called the girl Edward Scissorhands in his next film. Thus, the actress became one of those who were not at all afraid to try roles in which she was not the most ordinary and non-standard. Moreover, she has no competitors in Hollywood, and Winona is one of them.
The second wave of popularity came to a woman 45 years later, thanks to filming in the Stranger Things series. Another retro image, a sea of mysticism and a little charm – about Ryder started talking again.
Still just as fragile, selfless, with big black eyes – Winona, who to this day is considered the queen of the mysterious genre, is delightful in her performances.
