Winona Ryder “This is a little personal, but I'm 42 and…well, I was talking to my dad last year and saying, 'What if I can't have a kid?' and he said, 'There are other ways to have children in your life.' That's true—and I get these amazing doses with my brother's kids. But I've got to stop listening to other people.
Winona Ryder , who has no kids herself, said she found it “strange” to quickly develop a strong maternal bond with her on-screen children Noah Scnapp and Charlie Heaton.
While she's had many successful and long relationships, Ryder has never been married and doesn't appear to want to take that step. “I'm a serial monogamist,” she said to The Edit. “I'd rather never have been married than been divorced a few times.
Ryder has one full sibling, a younger brother, Uri, an older half-brother, Jubal, and an older half-sister, Sunyata. Ryder's family friends included her godfather, LSD guru Timothy Leary, beat poets Allen Ginsberg and Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and science fiction novelist Philip K.
For Ryder, much of her anxiety and depression came from the journey to stardom. She says of that overwhelming experience, “I'm a very lucky person and very privileged, but I also have the same pressures as any human being.”
Winona Ryder was born Winona Laura Horowitz in Olmsted County, Minnesota, and was named after a nearby town, Winona, Minnesota. She is the daughter of Cynthia (Istas), an author and video producer, and Michael Horowitz, a publisher and bookseller. Her father's family is Ukrainian Jewish and Romanian Jewish.
3. Winona Ryder. Winona Ryder is another example of an actress that feels comfortable in her own skin, regardless of her age, and has no intention whatsoever of undergoing plastic surgery, or at least none that we know of.
The actress changed her last name from Horowitz when asked how she would like to have her name appear on the credits of her first role. She suggested Ryder as Mitch Ryder's album was playing in the background.
Winona Ryder is fiercely private about her love life. The Stranger Things star has been dating Scott Mackinlay Hahn since 2011, and has kept many details about their relationship under wraps. In recent years, however, the actress has opened up on occasion about her long-term romance with Hahn.
The accidental marriage apparently happened on set while filming the critically acclaimed Bram Stoker's Dracula. In one particular scene, characters Johnathan Harker and Mina Murray, played by Reeves and Ryder, respectively, tied the knot.
Even though they haven't been romantically linked, they have joked about secretly being married in the presence of real priests and filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola.
After telling The Edit that she has “happily” been with her partner for “a while,” Ryder noted that she has never been married due to her high standards of love.
One of the most infamous celebrity shoplifting incidents involved Winona Ryder years before she ever starred in Stranger Things. In 2001, she was caught stealing $5,000 of merchandise, including clothing and accessories. The following year, she was sentenced to three years of probation.
Well, I was talking to my dad last year and saying, 'What if I can't have a kid? ' and he said, 'There are other ways to have children in your life,'” Stranger Things star Winona Ryder told The Telegraph in 2014. “That's true — and I get these amazing doses with my brother's kids.
Winona and Johnny Depp met at the premiere of Great Balls of Fire! in 1989 when she was 17 and he was 26. They were engaged for three years before their break up in 1993. Johnny famously got his 'Winona Forever' tattoo changed to 'Wino Forever'.
Ryder and Depp split iin 1993 after four years together. “They're young, and they grew apart,” a rep for Ryder told People at the time. Depp hinted to The Los Angeles Times at the time that the media attention was part of the reason his relationship with Ryder ended.
Depp got the tattoo in the 90s as a way to honour actress Winona Ryder whom he was dating at the time. However, once they broke up he changed the tattoo to say "Wino Forever". The Pirates of the Caribbean actor took the stand in court to share the story of the tattoo, saying: "I took off the last two letters.
Winona decided to break off the relationship because of the amount of backlash they were getting. Their relationship was constantly being criticised because of the age difference between the two (Johnny was 27, Winona 18, at the time.)
Winona's a heavy smoker and she was furious when the producers told her she's not allowed to take a smoke break anywhere near the set because of a confidentiality agreement she signed.
Speaking of her Judaism, Ryder said that she is “Not religious, but I do identify. It's a hard thing for me to talk about because I had family who died in the camps, so I've always been fascinated with that time.” She also said: “There are times when people have said, 'Wait, you're Jewish? But you're so pretty!
Ryder was born to Cynthia Palmer and Michael Horowitz, both authors and editors; her father was also a bookseller. Ryder identified as Jewish, following in her father's family heritage. At age seven Ryder moved with her family to Northern California, where her father owned land shared with multiple other families.
She may love it, but Winona has shown no signs of getting older. With her wrinkle-free face and youthful glow, it's hard to see how she's really changed over the years. But the Stranger Things star has stayed away from cosmetic surgery and previously stated that it's treated "almost like hygiene" these days.
While sharing about working together, Reeves jokingly revealed that he and Ryder got married due to a technical error. As they both have been some of the kindest Hollywood stars, they have starred in several films together.
