Another article from June 23, 1997 ---------- Kenneth Branagh, Winona Ryder to Star in Woody Allen Film ----- Kenneth Branagh, who will soon be seen in the steamy "Shakespeare's Sister", has reportedly agreed to star in Woody Allen's fall project. Variety reports that Allen, notorious for keeping information on his films under wraps, has also offered Winona Ryder a lead role. No plot information is available, but chances are good that at least one of the characters will be intensely neurotic. "Deconstructing Harry" Allen's upcoming film, tracks forty-eight hours in the life of a New York City writer as his fantasy life collides with his real life. It stars a boatload of A-list talent, including Robin Williams, Elisabeth Shue, Demi Moore and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. --------- Rusty

From June 23, 1999 ----- "Winona in Talks to Replace Drew in Woody's Film" ----- Drew Barrymore is out of Woody Allen's fall project -- and she has a glass slipper to blame. Variety reports that the actress has been forced to vacate one of the lead roles in the still-untitled picture because of a scheduling conflict with "Cinderella", which begins next month in Europe. But Allen won't be without a beautiful female lead for long. ----- Rusty

Winona Ryder, who the director had tried to woo early on, is once again in talks to join the picture. Ryder apparently bowed out initially because she thought she'd be unavailable. The "Crucible" actress had planned to star in a film about the life and murder of Irish journalist Veronica Guerin, but script revisions have delayed the picture's start, leaving Ryder's dance card free. ----- Rusty

All this is bad news for Barrymore, who worked with Allen on 1996's "Everyone Says I Love You". She was one of the first to sign on to the cast, which also includes Kenneth Branagh and Leonardo DiCaprio. But the shooting schedule of "Cinderella", in which she'll play the title role, made it logistically impossible to do two pictures at the same time on different continents. "The decision was very difficult for Drew," a spokesman tells Variety. "She had a tremendous experience working for Mr. Allen last time and hopes to work with him again in the very near future." Allen's latest film, "Deconstructing Harry", opens in late fall. ----- End of the article ----- Rusty

Another article from August 15, 1997 ----- "Woody Allen, Winona Ryder Issue Denials ----- Denial is not just a river in Egypt. Woody Allen and Winona Ryder have both issued denials about recent rumors making the rounds. Allen's reps tell the New York Daily News that there's no truth to a story in the National Enquirer that he and Soon-Yi Previn, adopted daughter of Allen's former flame Mia Farrow, are getting married sometime in the near future. But, the paper reports, the director was recently spotted buying her a ring at Tiffany's. Draw your own conclusions. And Winona Ryder's publicist tells the paper that there's no truth to the report that she and singer Chris Isaak were swapping spit at Disneyland.The rep says that Winona was indeed at the Happiest Place on Earth with the "Wicked Game" singer, but so was his girlfriend. Ryder is currently still single. ----- Rusty

"I shook his hand, that is all." The actress added, "I assume when people react strongly [to reports that they are seeing each other], there's got to be some truth to it, but there isn't in this case." Now let's hear from Jenkins: "I've been called and asked about this many times. My entire involvement with Winona Ryder is that I met her once. She was very smart, very funny ..... She's one of these people who is going to be seen. These kinds of associations are made." Ryder also denies that she has been romantically linked to Evan Dando of the Lemonheads and Jay Kay of Jaminoquai. ----- Rusty

More from June 23, 1999 --------- Winona Ryder Dating Matt Damon? -------- No sooner do we hear that Matt Damon and Minnie Driver have gone their separate ways than word comes that Hollywood's latest "It" boy has already paired off.

More from March 23, 1998 ----- Winona Needs Her Space ---- Reality sure doesn't bite for Winona Ryder. The Los Angeles Times reports that the Oscar-nominated actress, who was last seen battling gooey Aliens with Sigourney Weaver in "Alien Resurrection", has plunked down a cool $2.5 million for a Beverly Hills home. The twenty-six-year-old star will reside in a 1930's four-thousand-square-foot, four bedroom house, which features city-to-ocean views. Ryder currently resides nearby, but that home is a mere two thousand square feet. No word on whether her new squeeze, Oscar-nominated actor-writer Matt Damon, will be spending time in her new abode. Ryder's temporary New York roomie, Gwyneth Paltrow, who is dating Damon's pal, Ben Affleck, introduced the two. ----- Rusty

Here's the end of "Matt Damon and Winona Ryder Get Serious" ---------- Her pal Gwyneth Paltrow, who's seeing Matt Damon's buddy Ben Affleck, introduced them. Winona says that contrary to what the gossip columns say, she really doesn't go out much: "I had like two dates in the last year, and they weren't with anyone famous," she explains. "If I was getting all the action they say, I would die." ----- One person who won't be wishing the happy couple well is Matt's ex and "Good Will Hunting" co-star, Minnie Driver, who lost the Best Supporting Actress Oscar to Kim Basinger. The New York Daily News reports that Driver's already disappointing Oscar night ended on a low note, with her in tears after bumping into Matt and Winona at a party. The paper says that the actress can console herself with the knowledge that the cute couple didn't leave together. ----- End of the article ----- Rusty
