Winona Ryder…looking wow

PopSugar – Winona Ryder stars on the cover of the latest issue of Elle magazine, and inside she talks to the mag about her new movie The Private Lives Of Pippa Lee (out July 10) as well as her childhood, acting, beauty and what she describes as her “extra large breakdown”. Here’s a few extracts from her interview:

• On being bullied:“We only shopped at the Salvation Army, and I would get these three-piece, 1970s little boy suits. I had really short hair, and the third day of seventh grade, these kids basically jumped me in the hall because they thought I was a gay boy, and they roughed me up… I think when that happened, I kind of went into a movie in my head because I couldn’t deal with what was happening. Kids would say, “You’re a witch, you’re creepy, you’re crazy.” I was in the number-one movie in the country and I was still being bullied in school.”
• On her ‘extra-large breakdown’: “I had just done Dracula and Edward Scissorhands. I had just had my first real break-up, the first heartbreak. And I think it was really ironic because, like, everybody else just thought I had everything in the world, you know, I had no reason to be depressed, everything was sort of at its peak, but inside I was completely lost. I remember feeling, ‘I can’t complain about anything, because I’m so lucky, I’m so lucky…’ After that I realised I needed to take time off more [regularly]. I’m so lucky because I really love doing what I do. There have been times when I’ve wanted to stop, but it wasn’t forever. It was just like I needed to stop and get my life together.”

• On being the leading lady: “For a few years after Beetlejuice I was cast as the outcast, so I thought that was my path. I sort of had it in my head that I was going to be a character actress. Then I did Heathers and it was the first time I had convinced people I could play [a pretty girl]. I went to get my make-up done for the audition. And then after that I got more substantial roles. And it’s funny in your career, you’re a leading lady for a while and then you end up wanting the character roles again.”
• On her beauty: “I thought it was cooler to be interesting than to be pretty. I must have got that from my parents, who felt strongly about being an individual and being your own person and that looks aren’t everything. I always knew that I wasn’t, you know, beautiful. I never wanted to be beautiful, I never wanted to be a cheerleader.”

Hey Winona Ryder: C’mom…hurry….

Winona Ryder Recently seen on her way to the Metropolitan Museum of Art

WENN – WINONA RYDER will never forget the day she first met director TIM BURTON – because she mistook him for a crewmember.The actress arrived for work on the set of 1990 cult hit Edward Scissorhands and was eager to meet the edgy filmmaker who was helming the oddball project.
And while looking for her new boss, Ryder hit it off with a member of the movie’s art department – who turned out to be Burton himself.
She tells film bible Empire magazine, “When I first met him, I didn’t know he was the director. I thought he was some guy from the art department. We were just talking and eventually, I said, ‘So where’s this Tim Burton guy?’ And he was like, ‘Er, that’s me.’  “I always wonder why I have such a clear memory of that, because I was so young. And I think it’s because it’s so rare to bond with someone so quickly. “I was this alienated kid who got picked on at school. I thought he was just some guy I could talk to about music. He was a kindred spirit straight away.”

Meanwhile, From Gossip Girl – Winona Ryder: Happy Finding Balance

She’s been out of the spotlight for quite some time, but it looks like Winona Ryder is making her way back in.The “Beetlejuice” actress’ comeback is thanks to her role in “Star Trek” and the release of another movie, “The Private Lives of Pippa Lee,” which will be opening in the U.S. this fall.In a recent interview, Ms Ryder admits she’s had some ups and downs, but since then has been able to find a balance in her life. She says, “I have really tried to develop a whole life so when I work I can come home to something [else].” The 37-year-old also mentioned that she’s always admired fellow actress, Kate Winslet, for her ability to have it all.

Um. I love you in a movie star way. This is SO understandable…

I was driving down Sunset Blvd. with a friend, and passed by Sachs. The camera crews were staked out there…it was all about that stupid forgettable incident…that continues to make NO sense to this day.

Regardless, You deserve so much more than that….

A post from SIS - Winona Ryder = Ugly Bitch/Devil - (Sis like you, its just she really, really, reaaaaaly, reaaaaaaaly likes Keanu Reeves)

For Elle UK’s July issue, writer/director Rebecca Miller interviewed Winona Ryder, who stars in Miller’s upcoming film, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee. As Miller writes, “I feel like I grew up with Winona Ryder without meeting her.” Don’t we all?

Something about the actress (who is now 37) seems eternally youthful, [Wait!Theres Tons More…]
