Ryder's escape to the Twin Cities had little to do with a desire to be close to the city she was born in — she only spent six months in Winona before her family relocated to California — and everything to do with a different sort of longing.
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.

However, despite remaining friends after the break-up, things took a slight turn when Depp started dating Amber Heard. “[Ryder] had a respectful relationship with Johnny for years [after their split], but she soured on any idea of an acting reunion after Johnny hooked up with Amber,” an insider source said.
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 , 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. Actor Winona Ryder says she feels like a mother to her young Stranger Things co-stars.
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.
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.
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.
Winona Ryder spent part of her childhood – from age seven to 11 – on the Rainbow commune in Mendocino, California. Her parents were “not these crazy hippies,” Ryder once said, but they weren't exactly white picket fence workaday types either.
Ryder moved with her parents to Petaluma, California when she was ten and enrolled in acting classes at the American Conservatory Theater. At age 13, she had a video audition to the film Desert Bloom (1986), but did not get the role. However, director David Seltzer spotted her and cast her in Lucas (1986).
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.
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.
''She`s very girlie,'' says Nonie. ''She thinks too much,'' says Cher. So it is that the 44-year-old Cher, dressed in black, and the 18-year-old Winona Ryder, dressed in black, are busy pushing their new film, ''Mermaids,'' which opened Friday. ''It was, in the beginning,'' Cher says, ''a nightmare.
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.
Early life. Depp was born at Lady of Mercy Hospital in Owensboro, Kentucky,He is the youngest child of an engineer and a waiter. He is of Belgian (Flemish), Dutch, English, French, and German descent.
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'.
Depp, for his part, appeared to indict the media for his failed engagement, telling the Los Angeles Times, "It's very hard to have a personal life in this town. My relationship with Winona, it was my mistake to be as open as we were, but I thought if we were honest it would destroy that curiosity monster.
