Winona ryder where is she

Though outdoor space tends to be limited in San Francisco, Ryder's home boasts a lush garden and expansive deck area with seating. When asked in if wedding bells were in her future with Hahn, Ryder simply noted that divorce could never be an option to her. I don't know. I'd rather never have been married than been divorced a few times. Not that there's anything wrong with divorce, but I don't think I could do it if that was a possibility," she explained at the time.

By Hannah Chubb. Actually, if you think about it, I don't think I would be an actress if Beetlejuice hadn't come along, because I really wasn't thriving in those auditions. I'd just done a couple things, but I had black hair and was very pale, and that movie led to other things. So yeah, he gave me a career. I don't know if it's a cold - it's just that my voice was kind of going. But it's back, so I'm actually okay.

In a weird way, I was actually hoping that whatever voice thing I've got could stay so that I could sort of have a Debra Winger thing going on. I've always loved her voice. But it's getting better, so I'm going to sound like me. Looking back - and this is all in retrospect - I did have a lot of success and a lot of great opportunities earlier in my career.

But I did also have this thing that was sort of happening in my late twenties where, whether it was because of how I looked or because I started so young, even though I was the right age for things, people didn't think that I was old enough.

I was starting to have some trouble before that. I think a lot of people think that that is what sort of sent me off in another direction, but I was actually starting to have some trouble a few years before.

And then there were also a couple of movies that I was going to do, that were all set up, and then, at the last minute, they fell apart And with what happened I was living up in San Francisco and I really needed the time off, which ended up being a couple of years.

In a weird way, it was almost like the best thing that could have happened because I'd never asked myself the question before of, "Is it okay if I'm not going to act? Is there anything else? I have to admit, though, that every time I hear "comeback, blah, blah, blah", it's kind of hard for me.

I'm not trying to be super-sensitive at all, but there is a little bit of defensiveness because I do feel like I have contributed. Even if I'd just made Beetlejuice and Heathers , I put in work. I'm in Brooklyn. I'm actually trying to do the bi-coastal thing now for real. I did it before, but not really. My home is San Francisco - that is definitely what I consider my home.

But I have a little place for when I'm in L. He came to visit It's just so hip now. I remember one time in particular. I was in the middle of auditioning, and I was mid-sentence when the casting director said, "Listen, kid. You should not be an actress. You are not pretty enough. You should go back to wherever you came from and you should go to school.

You don't have it. I was too young to know who he was. I got in trouble because I gave something to his son Sean. I get told all these amazing stories, but at that time, they were just grown-ups. Now I'm older, I'm like "What!? Because now I have the appreciation. And I was so psyched by that, and I think I secretly like getting older and it's so cool to be in a "old Goldie".

I don't know. Maybe people thought that because of [ Johnny Depp ] and I, but we were fine at that point. We did go through the whole year of, you know So maybe people thought that was still an issue. It was a dramatic relationship because it was my first and they're always dramatic, but the press made it so much more.

But I was interested to see it, because it was [ Christina Ricci ]'s first grown-up role - my little sister from Mermaids But then I read an interview with Tina Fey and she said, "Oh no, it has nothing to do with it.

I remember doing interviews with her and she would talk about things I never would. She's a completely different person these days and I have the utmost respect for her. And I think, at the time, she was also battling her looks because she's so beautiful.

She wanted very much to be taken seriously and not just judged on her looks. And she conquered that. There was a girl at my school who was kind of a Goth, and she got really picked on, absolutely tortured. People called her a witch. And she committed suicide. As soon as she did, all the kids who tormented her were like, "Oh, she was such a wonderful person.

I got the script for Heathers that week. I thought it was a great commentary on that aspect of school life. I was kind of thinking I'd be like Marlon Brando in Superman Not that I'd ever compare myself to Brando!

I always loved the Patti Smith lyric, "Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine. I'm on the board of human rights organizations. One is for the West Memphis Three.

We have to get these kids out because they are innocent. It's about justice. We have finally got permission to do a DNA test, which should have been automatic in the first place but was denied.

There were so many inconsistencies in the case against them dental impressions didn't match the three boys in prison. But the trial happened so fast - the state wanted a result. Right now, they are saying DNA has been tampered with and is not admissible as evidence. It's a catch 22 situation. The case needs serious funding. It's a gross miscarriage of justice, I hope to see them freed soon.

In every article I've ever read - and my parents keep everything - it's like 'waif, pixie, waif, pixie'. There are worse things to be called, but I feel a little stronger than people may perceive me. I tend to binge watch shows that were on a long time ago, but I don't know that, so I start telling everybody. Like I love Damages and I thought it was still on There was a whole era where I got linked to everybody. People that I had never met.

I was like "How? I'm home alone reading chapter 12 of a book. There were times where people might have seen me and said, "Wow, she's so lucky. That time I went through led me to make Girl, Interrupted Most girls go through that at around that age - 20, It's much more common than we think, which is why I wanted to make that movie.

It worked in the sense that I still have girls come up to me and say that it really helped them, and that was nice to hear. In my first apartment in L. She's so smart. She told me to resist doing things that other people say you should do. Don't be 'strategic'! I was up for this movie, Mobsters , and everyone said I should do it. But Jodie said, "You have to feel very connected to something before you do it. And it was a flop. I get asked a lot, "What does it feel like to be a '90s icon?

I did feel like it was a little bit of a struggle because when you achieve a lot of success when you're that age, in your late teens and early 20s, it was then harder to play roles when I was a little bit older that I was the right age for. People just thought of me as this person from Reality Bites , or whatever. My thirties were a little bit tough, for various reasons.

But I do remember work-wise, people thought of me as the ingenue. But I was too old for that. I know there's a lot of conversations right now about ageism, and I know a lot of actresses who have a tough time, and I've gotten offered those mom parts.

But you can make something of it. For me, I'm finally getting to play my own age, and it's liberating. I would not want to go back to playing the ingenue.

I'm not someone like Norma Desmond who's harking back to her younger days. I think because I started so young, I secretly wanted to be older all the time. I can't imagine starting as an actress now. In my day, you did it because you loved acting. I know everyone says, "Well, the press harassment goes hand in hand, you can't complain about it", but I just never believed that.

I worked with Meryl Streep when I was 19 or 20 and she said, "That's just bullshit. You're not signing up for that.

It's interesting because The First Wives Club was the first movie that made a shitload of money that starred all women over a certain age. That was a milestone that made you think, "Oh, things are going to change. I binge-watched this show Damages Glenn Close and Rose Byrne are so good. Lily Tomlin is in it. You see all these great actors and the writing is terrific.

There are a lot of shows like that. And there are all these conversations right now about roles for women and being paid equally and all of that, but I think what it really is, is opportunity.
