For a change of pace, A quote from Winona from "Winona on being Interviewed", "I wouldn't flirt with the people who interview me, but sometimes they write about me in kind of a sexual way, and that's really weird to me because I'm not like that when I'm interviewing. I save that for my private life. I don't try to show myself that way. Maybe because I'm young. they want to make me out like this Lolita, this woman-child. I don't know. I think it's kind of weird. That's why I'm much more careful now with the writers who are going to do a feature story on me. I really like kind of have them checked out, you know". -------Rusty

David Handleman from "Rolling Stone" magazine, May 18, 1989 ----- " Driving down Wilshire Blvd, Ryder passes a gaggle of elementary schoolers in uniform. "I can't wait until I'm grown up and have kids," she says, rubbing her tummy. "I want little boys. Want to hear the names I'm gonna make them? I like baseball names. Vida Blue Ryder. Cool Papa Ryder. Unless I marry some guy that has a better last name than me." She says she's "worshipped" Dodgers second baseman for years, to the point of writing (Winona Sax) on her school notebook. But the day he went to the Yankees, she says, "I burst into tears. The f*u*c*k*i*n*g Yankees. I would never do that, if I was a Dodger. It's morally reprehensible." (Besides she had already "bettered" her own last name, Horowitz, when the titles were being put on "Lucas". ----------- Rusty

Janet Cawley "She was named after the Minnesota town where she was born, spent part of her childhood living on a commune, and had Timothy Leary as her godfather. And let's not forget that her family drove a psychedelic bus nicknamed Veronica. If anyone seemed headed straight for a life of long hair, sandals, and tie-dyed T-shirts, it was Winona Ryder. But instead, this daughter of counterculture stalwarts became a screen star of the first magnitude, one of the few from Hollywood's Gen X set who can carry a film on her own. Not that she's disowned her past or even particularly distanced herself from it: She's imbued with a keen social consciousness, is passionate about books, averse to makeup, and indifferent to glitz and glamour. For that matter, she doesn't even bother to live in Hollywood, preferring her house in San Francisco ("the greatest city in the country", she insists)".

More from "Rolling Stone" May 1989. ---- Talent scout Deborah Lucchesi noticed, and she submitted a screen test of Ryder for the movie " Desert Bloom". Triad Artists saw the videotape and signed Winona without even meeting her. Director David Seltzer saw the tape when he was casting "Lucas"; after watching seven actresses doing the same scene, he suddendly sat up and stared at the screen. "There was Winona," he recalls, "this little frail bird. She has the kind of presence I have never seen -- an inner life. Whatever message was being said by her mouth was being condradicted by the eyes." ---------------- That is one enjoyable quote about Winona. Rusty

The black comedy "Heathers" is a bloody mess for it's producers ---- NO DOUBT ABOUT IT: "Heathers" is a tough sell. Yeah, it's a topical teenage comedy but the comedy is black, and the topic is suicide and murder. True, it has a time-tested movie setting of a high school but this is a school in which savagely materialistic students spend more time plotting to destroy one another than worrying about the prom. And yes, its lead is rising young star Winona Ryder, but Ryder, who begins the movie as a popular but sensitve junior, turns borderline psychotic within the first forty-five minutes. --------------- Rusty

Total Film A grungy kid. A murdering teenager. A mixed-up puritan temptress. The voise of Lisa Simpson's academic rival. A 14-year-old bride getting down to some uneasy cousin-lovin'. Assorted turn-of-the-century lovely young ladies in assorted costume dramas. No-one could ever accuse Winona ryder of sticking to what she's good at. Unless it's being gorgeous, that is.

From "Vogue" June 1989 ------ by Stephen Mansfield --- " Winona Ryder fishes through her 1950s thriftstore purse and pulls out a silver bracelet dangling with silver hearts. "I love charm bracelets," she says. She also loves spider pins, funky hats, vests, comic books (Batman in particular), antique pocket watches, vintage men's suits, and retro sunglasses. Offbeat and disarming, with a quirky charm and eceltric tomboy taste, she's part Annie Hall, part Holly Golightly. She is a haunting beauty remininiscent of a young Vivien Leigh who uses words like "rilly" and "funnest" and says she's just begun to discover her own "girliness". ----------- Rusty

Stephen Rebello "Years of evidence attest to the pleasures Ryder can bring to the screen. As the wraithlike goth suburban teen who preferred dancing the calypso with the undead to hanging out with her yucky white-bread family in Beetlejuice, she was Wednesday Addams hotwired with Lolita. She and Christian Slater teased out dark, outlaw sexuality from each other in the wickedly wry Heathers. (She was the only girl in that high school movie who seemed to get how fine a line there is between the popular pom-pom girl and the geeky outcast.) A few years later she was spectacular in The Age of Innocence as a clear-eyed, deceptively passive young wife who quietly manipulates her husband into forgoing the love of his life and languishing in a cul-de-sac of boring convention and unrealized desire."

Steve Pond "Winona Ryder turns 27 two days before Halloween; she won't be 30 until 2001. She's a movie star, a young woman, a kid--it's all mixed up in her as she sits here, huddled in the corner of a sofa in a quiet room off the bar at the Hotel Bel-Air. Her blue slacks are frayed at the bottom, her white T-shirt is loose, her burgundy cardigan hangs on her tiny frame. She pulls her legs up in front of her and looks vulnerable, fragile; a second later, she runs a hand through her spiky dark hair and lets it flop, and she looks boyish and spunky. When she sits up and looks across the room with those dark eyes, she is utterly luminous, every inch a star."
