Winona Ryder, whose filmography is aboutFifty films, many of which have become popular since their release on the screen, have been nominated twice for the Oscar. In 1993, she became the winner of the Golden Globe. In October 2000, for her contribution to the development of cinema, this woman with a charming childish face was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Актриса Вайнона Райдер, настоящее имя которой - Laura Horowitz, was born in 1971 in a small American town in Minnesota with parents - prominent representatives of the underground culture of that time. Michael and Cynthia were descendants of Jewish immigrants from Romania and Russia. Her grandmother Ethel was an immigrant from the Russian hinterland. Parents Winona were ardent activists of such a movement 60-x, like hippies. They were called "intellectuals and psychedelic scientists." The father of the future actress at that time worked as a personal secretary and biographer of the famous American philosopher, who was called the seller of "expansion of consciousness" - Timothy Lary. It was he who became the godfather for the little girl. Winona’s father had a bookstore called Flashback Books; he was simply shifted to Eastern philosophy, as well as psychotropic and hallucinogenic substances. At the same time, Michael and Cynthia were terribly proud of the fact that they have, perhaps, the only library in the world assembled from books about drugs. Another well-known friend of the family was a well-known beat poet, as well as a preacher of hippie ideas Ginsberg.
Winona Ryder, whose filmography does not includenot a single film about this movement of the sixties grew up in a commune of representatives of the “generation of love” on a ranch where very free customs reigned, but there were no elementary conditions, including electricity. When the girl was eight years old, her family moved to California. Winona Ryder, whose films were watched all over the world, did not go to school, but studied at home.
From this young age she, at the insistenceparents, did not look at the "Wizard of Oz", like all children, but the works of John Cassavetes, and from that time her favorite actress was Gina Rowlands. She spent most of the day with great benefit, in her opinion, at the Theater of the American Conservatory, where very soon the talented girl was noticed by agents from the film studio. They offered her samples for the role in the film "Flowering in the desert." But despite the fact that Winona Ryder, whose filmography - more than fifty main roles, never received this small role, however, this attempt failed for her to no avail. The film with its film samples somehow fell into the hands of the representative of “Triad Artists”, who very soon invited the girl to play in a comedy melodrama called “Lucas”. From now on, the girl’s screen name, “Rider,” chosen for her by her father, has been assigned to the girl.
However, in spite of everything, the actress from year to yearyear became more popular. Success enjoyed almost all films with Winona Ryder. The list is quite impressive: these are “Dracula”, “The Age of Innocence”, “Reality Bites” and “Little Women”, “In Search of Richard”, as well as “Alien 4: Resurrection”, etc. The peak of the actress’s popularity came in the late nineties . Then Ryder was even honored to be a member of the jury of the Cannes Film Festival. Around the same time, she debuted as a producer of the film "Interrupted Life", in which she performed the main role. After that, Ryder performed about two dozen major roles in films, many of which failed at the box office. The girl endured a long series of failures quite steadfastly, confident that she would still have the best images.
The People magazine of Winona Ryder was included inlist of fifty beauties of the world. To her were not indifferent Christian Slater, Daniel Day-Lewis, musician David Pirner, David Duchovny. However, the actress considers her relationship with Johnny Depp the brightest novel. After their break, the girl even spent five days in a psychiatric hospital. And this experience was useful to her on the set of the film called “Interrupted Life”, based on the book written by Winona’s father, Michael Horowitz.
The girl suffers from hydrophobia, and for this she has a reason: as a child she almost drowned.
