Winona Ryder was the quirky Oscar-nominated "it girl" of the 90s.
She was in a slew of iconic movies like
Heathers,
Edward Scissorhands,
Little Women and
Girl, Interrupted. Ryder was able to hold her own against powerhouse costars like Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and Angelina Jolie and did it all with style. Then a certain unnamed event happened that caused her to be the laughing stock of Hollywood and she kind of faded into the background (she was still making movies but not with the same clout). But I'm ready for her to make a big comeback! Aren't you?
Ryder has a few movies slated for 2009 including the highly anticipated
Star Trek where she'll be playing Spock's mother. But I'm more excited about her roles in
Stay Cool and
The Private Lives of Pippa Lee. She plays the romantic lead in
Stay Cool and in
Pippa she'll be part of an all-star cast (Robin Wright Penn, Alan Arkin and Julianne Moore) that could gain some serious momentum come awards season.
