Eventhough I adore Winona's beauty and acting, the best actress in the world anywhere today is Kate Winslet IMO. Her performance in Heavenly Creatures is my favorite. Winona hasn't been able to play challenging roles to display her acting abilities the last years. Mr. Deeds? Embers sounds like the movie that could stage her talents.

Lia, I understand this poll isn't about comparing Winona with other actresses. The WRFP is a messageboard for Winonafans. And I'm a huge fan and wish her all the best in love and work. And I understand Grackleman's polls normally are in a jest. At least I hope they are. But I wouldn't want to call Winona the best actress ever. Winona has displayed superb acting in Girl, interrupted and The Crucible, and other movies. And I hope she will get other opportunities to display her talents again. But none of her roles so far has reached the level of acting as Ellen Burstyn in 'Requiem for a Dream' or Kate Winslet in 'Heavenly Creatures, to name two. This is all my opinion, of course. Winona is of course one of the best, from what I've seen anyway. I guess I don't belong on a fanboard if it requires to change your opinion on other actresses. But this discussion is way to serious for a poll made in a jest.

Never forget that Kate Winslet has done nudity in "Jude", hehe...

Hi Zooey,
I think your thoughts on actress are quite interesting. I agree to an extent. I do think that Winona is the most beautiful, because "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." But regarding "Best Actress," I tend to agree that she has all the ingredients, but she hasn't done the jaw-dropping, masterstroke performance yet. Of course, having triumphed and grown with her recent ordeal, I think she is once again focused on excellence in her performances and soon (perhaps, very soon) we shall see some astonishing work from her.
Frankly, Winona's incredible accomplishment is her body of excellent work. She is prolific, consistent, and masterful. Now that she is refocused again, I suspect that within the next 6-8 years we are going to see some amazing performances, with at least one being of the jaw-dropping variety. In many ways that is why I like being a fan at this point in her life -- she has this amazing body of work and she is once again aspiring for excellence in her choice of roles and her performances.
Cheers, Charles

Hey, Rusty, where are you? I need your help, hehe! ;D I'm right here I voted for Winona, of course, but don't get upset if some people like other actresses and their movies. We are open to everyone's opinions and I for one will respect everyones opinion. (but at the same time if someone likes another actress more than Winona Ryder I will question their sanity) --------------------- Rusty

Hi Charles, well put. I agree with almost everything you posted. Winona is a great, beautiful actress. I didn't mean to hurt WRFP members feelings or anything. I just don't like talking in hyperboles. Nevertheless, Winona is a treasure.
Hi Grackleman, yes Kate Winslet has done nudity. Maybe you dimiss nudity on religious grounds, or morally. That's cool. But it doesn't bother me at all. Kate Winslet is still great...just like Winona.
Did you know Winona shot a nude scene for Autumn in New York, but it was later edited out (apparently). Apparently Winona is prepared to do a nude scene as well...Yes, I know, it's irrelevant.

Lia, don´t forget I love Noni , so does Rusty! . Zooey, Winona has done a nude scene? Isn´t that a rumor? I have always thought that Winona would NOT like that... but "nudity" also could be interpreted in very different ways... what do you "define" as "nudity"?

Hi Grackleman, it's not a rumour,the scene was shot through a glass,but old women* wouldn't like to see her naked(i guess you all now why).
Keep on loving her man. ;D
*Gere's fans.

.Winona isn’t the best actress in the world yet. This could happend in the future years. Even when being beauty is neccesary to being a Cinema actress. The best performance of the last decade was made by an almost 70 year old Brazilian Actress Fernanda Montengro, who never was beautiful (despite the fact she had a pretty daughter) she won for Central Station the Golden Bear and nominated to the Oscar, Unfortunately she didn’t won, we know who won... If Winona focus in her carreer in a long time and not drunk, smoke and have lot of plastic cirugiess she would be a nice mature actress. I tihough at first that Ms. Ryder was british, I think she would be much happier there, where are better role for actors (specially actresses). I’ve also like very much the English Cinema, specially the angry cinema. I think that there are lot of Winona’s Ryder there: there names are Hellena Bonham Carter, Kate Winslet, Samantha Morton and Kiera Knightley (a kind of Winona Clon) that made all the films that Winona would made if she was born in England. Talking about her nudity scenes. Winona Hasn’t made nudes yet. In fact she had very few sex escenes, maybe her most nudity scene was in The house of Spirits in where she was not totally nude. That was in 1993 I think she show her boots. I supposed if she made Lilly she had to do a complety nude scene, because the plot and her co star. For being the most beautiful actress I don’t know there were lot of Winona Ryder in the past and there are in the future. In the past were Natalie Wood, Elizabeth Taylor , and Olivia Hussey (who come back in a mini of Mother Teresa). Now are actress that have a Noni look but aren’t as pretty as Winona these are Pheobe Cates, Virgiene Ledoyen, Jenniffer Conelly andHalle Berry
