Ah, the 90’s. Home of the internet, Full House, and Nirvana.
It also birthed several of the hottest babes of all time. And who was to ride that wave all the way to the shore? Winona Ryder. While she may be best remembered these days for famously applying her own five fingered discount at a certain Hollywood boutique, back in the day she there was no babe like her.
From Beetlejuice onwards she was a juggernaut – neigh – a titan of pixie haircutted sexuality, with eyes as big as a Japanese drawing of a woodland creature. She appeared in deep dramas such as The Crucible, and then sci-fi dramas like Alien 3. Hell, she dated Johnny Depp, Matt Damon and Ryan Adams. The list of her ex boyfriends reads like the bedroom walls of a 17 year old girl at any given point in the last 15 years. When she was in ‘Girl, Interrupted’ (a.k.a your ex girlfriend’s favorite movie) she crossed the line from ‘Decade Long Fling’ to ‘Genuine Movie Star’. And then she probably got kind of stoned and tried to steal a bunch of things from a department store. C’est la vie.
I say we bring her back, petition Darren Aronofsky to put her in something, so she can have her own Mickey Rourke style comeback. Here’s to you, Winona.
