Winona was the IT girl in the 90s & she still is. She’s got such a unique quality about her. Her films are iconic Ps. Some of her best not even mentioned: Edward Scissorhands, Dracula, although small role very memorable, Black Swan.
I remember her in a tiny role in Simone, a film with Al Pacino. Remember? She completely stole the moments she was onscreen and made me wish for more films featuring her.
It's such a rare occurrence to see Winona do any press or any type of media exposure especially on UA-cam that when it actually happens it's an absolute delight for me and her biggest fans. And as such I do know Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is coming in a few months so let's all plan accordingly and support our Mother as the kids would say lol.
It was such a treat for me to watch this spectacular interview and listen to Winona's insightful and phenomenal commentary on the roles that she has portrayed over the years. I have admired her ever since I was a very young child and she has always inspired me to be myself.
I’m a true crime nut, and I’ve been following the Alec Baldwin trial. I recently realized I’ve had an unopened Adam Maitland action figure from the 90s, sitting facing my bed 😮 I can’t wait for the release of that sequel. The original came out when I was 21. Saw it in the theater. It’s part of my soul 🖤♥️🖤♥️🖤
It a shame they skipped over Dracula, Edward Scissorhands & Mermaids.. Winona is truly an icon❤ she was treated horribly by Hollywood & the press, i’m glad she’s back & doing more interviews
She didn't do much in those movies, nor did they mean much to her. I personally loved her in Alien Resurrection but she's never say that was an important role
Such a talent. I got so much hate for loving her work. My family always made fun of me, my preppy friend told me she was "so totally dark." I loved her. I love her still. In fact it was Winona and Ms. Lydia Deetz who won the heart of my daughter. Together she and I have watched all her movies connecting through her awesome talent and betrayal of women throughout time and troubles. Thank you for sharing your gift.
Heathers is STILL underrated and underwatched despite fanatics like me shouting its praises! If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and give it a go. Love Winona!
I remember in High school, everybody was in love with Winona. Now that we are adults, I realized that she gave us iconic films and Characters imposible to FORGET. ALL thanks to her talent and fantastic work in the film industry. ❤❤❤❤🎉
This woman has like 300 roles she could talk about. Off the top of my head: how to make an American quilt, reality bites, Mermaids, Dracula, age of INNOCENCE, Edward Scissorhands, THE CRUCIDBLE, need I go on.
I adore Winona Ryder. She's not had an 'easy' life - and she has fallen from grace a few times - BUT - she is authentic, warm, human, and extremely, extremely talented. I am so happy that she is on top of her craft and life again! Love You Winona! 💝
@endlessnameless6494 Agreed. IMHO there was never a “fall from grace”… there was paparazzi harassing and magnifying every move she made, and we all have our moments when we were not at our best. She deserved to work through those in privacy, it was none of our business.

I find this woman so fascinating not just the way she speaks and thinks but even her physical features. For example, I love the shape of her eyes and how every time she says something she always appears so SHOCKED or EXASPERATED. I find it so incredible enthralling. She is such an iconic actress for my generation.
I love her facial expressions and I think part of why they seen fascinating to us is that we’re not used to actresses over 50 who can still… move their face that much 🫣
You often find people are saying the usual things when they get interviewed. Winona seems to just say it from the heart. She's someone you'd love to chat with over coffee. This was good. Thanks Harper's and Winona.
Winona is a legend. She’s THE actress I grew up watching (and enriched my angsty 90s teen soul for the better). I’ll always feel a strong connection to her characters and films. ♥️
My favorite actress. Thanks for the video. I wish it had been longer and had covered other classics in her career like Dracula, Age of Innocence, mermaids, Reality Bites, Alien Resurrection, Black Swan, etc. So good to see her back on the spotlight.
i love how you really know winona ryder cares about her craft and it’s causes and effects, shes such a genuine actor and person in a time where being genuine in the entertainment industry is hard to come by
This could have, and should have, been twice as long. Winona has a crazy career of iconic performance one after another. The fact that she then picks up Stranger Things later on in her career is just a testament to her longevity and her stance as an immortal icon in the business.
@@shawncarter5434 She wasn't. Which is a shame. Angelina won because she had the showier role, but Winona had to play the timid little wallflower who observes what's going on from the sides, which is a much more difficult thing to do as an actress.
@@SpaceCatttttI love Winona (her birthday is a day before mine and 2 years before as well) I've been a big fan and followed her career for many years but I've read the book and seen the movie many times and Angelina was truly deserving of that award.
I love Winona. She seems so sweet, authentic, just an all around humble and kind person with her own interests and follows her heart. She seems like a person you could just talk to...down to earth.
There's just something about her ...some people are just born with natural charisma. Growing up she was one of my favorite actresses. Her voice is so recognizable. Kids today have no idea how huge she was back then.
I guess she isn’t a conventional beauty for the industry. Seems like she only gets oddball characters. Only a few movies she seems to”normal” attractive like in The Crucible or Age of Innocence.
Little Women was my introduction to Winona Ryder. As an enthusiast of Little Women, it is the only version that I can watch and truly connect with. Every actor and actress was perfect, and Winona is the perfect Jo in each and every way. So happy to hear her perspective on the film!
Yeah like most of Winona’s movies, you don’t see them made like that anymore. There’s this innocent, classic feel to Little Women that I just don’t think can be replicated. The newest Little Women was a mess, in my opinion.
God, I've always felt Winona Ryder is one of the most sublimely beautiful women I've ever seen as well as one of the most talented actresses (actors? 🤔)
I always thought Winona was so beautiful, she reminded me of a young Elizabeth Taylor. I have seen most of her movies and the way she was treated by the press is unfortunate. Girl Interrupted is the movie of hers I have probably seen the most. If she does not win an Oscar in her lifetime then she deserves a Lifetime Achievement Oscar .
@624radicalham some people on here on not in their right mind. I just try to ignore bizarre comments that make no sense. Thanks for asking them what they are talking about. Lol
I have been a huge fan of Winona since I was a small child. Ive grown up with somany of her movies. She's such a genuine person, an icon, so beautiful. Winona puts a smile on my face anytime I see her. What a kind and loving woman. I cant wait to see her in Beetlejuice 2 and the finale of Stranger Things. Love you Noni
She was nominated for a Grammy for reading "Diary of a Young Girl". I used to have the audio book. I believe it was late 90s when it came out. She lost the Grammy to Patrick Stewart.
@@myajanell2504she voiced a character in frankenweenie and we watched it at school and i was like freaking out when we were watching it because yes she would be such a great voice actress
I like the transition from "it doesn't necessarily mean you're crazy" talking about Girl Interrupted to immediately holding Christmas lights trying to talk to Will in Stranger Things lol
@@ExpectantHarvest you are everywhere in these Winona threads. You should hyper focus on why you have this one particular video in your crosshairs and handle that privately instead of online.
I think I've enjoyed Winona Ryder in every role I've seen. I don't remember if I saw Beetlejuice or Heathers first, but they were both good movies, and Winona Ryder was so special in both of those roles. She disappeared for a while, but when she came back as Joyce in Stranger Things, I was just so amazed that she was so darned good!
Same here. I even read the novel. It was highly underrated film. Overrated by Angelina but Winona And Brittany were incredible as well. It's such a female empowering movie in many ways. These weren't perfect women trying to be perfect, they were more honest and broken.
Winona have been part of most of my life being in iconic movies I absolutely love ( Edward Scissorhands, Dracula, Little women ). I think her, Demi Moore, Johnny Depp, Keanu Reeves, Brad Pitt and Patrick Swayze literally personify the late 80´s/90’s to me, just like their movies they always remind me of good old times, when things were just light and fun. I was so overjoyed to reconnect with her trough Stranger things, she really deserved a second chance at success and it was just a full circle moment that she made it through Stranger Things which also surfs on the 80’s nostalgia ❤
Love her so much. She’s been in so many of my favorite films. Girl, Interrupted is a a movie I can watch so many times and still find something beautiful about it.
WOW!!! These comments are amazing!! 🎉Her role in the Crucible was powerful yet underrated. So much love for Winona! She is more gifted than her 90s peers, by far, and wiser about choosing well written scripts. She made me feel like I wasn’t alone back then, being a weird and deep insomniac. She is a natural beauty and so well spoken, choosing her words well. She doesn’t overexpose herself either. I wish her the best! ❤🎉
@@tneowapl1-bv6grtheyre not harming anyone, theyre simply appreciating an insanely talented well loved actress. if you don't like the way they express it then I don't think the internet is the place for you
She is one of my favourite actresses, so talented, intelligent and just incredible. I am so so happy she is finally getting to rebuild her career after the media destroyed her.
Growing up in the 2000s I felt so misunderstood every time I said my favorite actress was Winona Ryder. Stranger things really gave her that longevity 🖤
I am pretty young. I was born long after her glory days of the ninties, so I feel so weird every time I tell my friends my favorite actress is Winona Ryder. They have no idea, so I have to say she's wills mom
Winona Ryder was my whole teenage years and beyond! She is a fantastic actor! She doesn't even touch all of her great movies. Edward Scissorhands, Reality Bites, How to Make an American Quilt, Bram Stokers Dracula, The Age of Innocence, Great Balls of Fire, these are just a few, in addition to what she mentioned, there are many more! She was the 90's! I hated that the paparazzi treated her so horribly! I'm glad she made a comeback!
Love this and Winona Ryder. She’s made so many great films. This should’ve been longer as her body of work is huge. Where’s “Reality Bites” and “Mermaids”. Would have loved to hear her talk about “The Age of Innocence” and “Alien Resurrection”. And of course, “Bram Stokers Dracula”. She had the rights to the book and brought the script to Francis Ford Coppola and asked him to direct it. It was her way of making up for having to drop out of Godfather 3 at the final hour due to being sick. It left him in a bind having to cast his daughter Sofia in it, which critics said was a disastrous move. Winona felt bad and came back to Coppola with Dracula and to make peace. Would love to have heard her take on all that.
The 80's had the Brat pack, a talented mix of male and female actors.The 90's had Winona Ryder and several launching actors.She carried that eras teen movies...she was always there❤
So many amazing and impactful films - Winona, you chose films not to be famous, but to help young women understand themselves better and be more comfortable to own their individual quirkiness. Dark comedy is a lighter way to tackle heavy topics and you manage to do it gently but powerfully all at the same time - awesome 🤩
@@arwenmoczygemba4842Little Women (1994) is absolutely my favorite adaptation and one of my favorite films. I remember seeing it in theaters when I was so young that I didn’t fully comprehend how long ago the 1860s were (I vividly remember believing my grandmother, who was born in 1925, grew up like the March sisters 😂). Now it is the film I regularly revisit when I need to feel that soothing balm of familiarity, family and love.
It’s been so wonderful following so many of her movies since I was a kid, she’s been in so many amazing girl roles, she’s just my lifelong favourite ❤❤
Winona is so real for constantly talking about how important it was to her that the movies were accurate to the time/people they were meant to portray. Someone needed to get her on the 2019 little women set 😭
Winona was the one for me growing up. She is an otherworldly beautiful! i am completely in awe of her and her movies. I wished Reality Bites was included, that had a lot of influence on me in my adolescence years.
I grew up with these movies and I tell people, I was goth before goth was goth. They called some of us dirtballs but we actually added style. My alltime favorite story now though, is Little Women because she took a time that was difficult and different for women, and made her character shine in such a supreme human way. It just makes my whole heart smile. I'm trying to share this with my kids too.
She was treated horribly by the press in the 90s. She is a gift to this world and continues to do incredible work.
I 100% agree but it was more early/mid 2000s. The ‘scandal’

She's always been my favorite Jo, and that film is my favorite version.
God, I've always felt Winona Ryder is one of the most sublimely beautiful women I've ever seen as well as one of the most talented actresses (actors? 🤔)
Winona Ryder running down the steps in the rain in the movie Dracula is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.
Now I'm curious. I haven't seen it.

@@jro3213 OMG it is gorgeous
that's a bit crippy of you
@@itdobelikedattho8112 I dont think so. Men like women, they always have.
I always thought Winona was so beautiful, she reminded me of a young Elizabeth Taylor. I have seen most of her movies and the way she was treated by the press is unfortunate. Girl Interrupted is the movie of hers I have probably seen the most. If she does not win an Oscar in her lifetime then she deserves a Lifetime Achievement Oscar .
@@nickey66 bully for you
@@delg1211 What does that mean? Come back and explain it
@624radicalham some people on here on not in their right mind. I just try to ignore bizarre comments that make no sense. Thanks for asking them what they are talking about. Lol
@@nickey66 Right on!
i am getting so emotional!!!!! Winona is such a classic !!!!
Winona is one of the greatest actresses to ever live. Such a talent and ever so lovely!
yes!!!
I have been a huge fan of Winona since I was a small child. Ive grown up with somany of her movies. She's such a genuine person, an icon, so beautiful. Winona puts a smile on my face anytime I see her. What a kind and loving woman. I cant wait to see her in Beetlejuice 2 and the finale of Stranger Things. Love you Noni
man, if Winona wrote a book, or narrated audiobooks, or had a fashion line... I would be ON that sh1t so fast and giving her my money
She was nominated for a Grammy for reading "Diary of a Young Girl". I used to have the audio book. I believe it was late 90s when it came out. She lost the Grammy to Patrick Stewart.
@@professionalbystander2574 Everyone loses to Patrick Stewart. He just makes it so.
I wanna see her do voice acting if she hasn't jumped into that already😍
This was so great
@@myajanell2504she voiced a character in frankenweenie and we watched it at school and i was like freaking out when we were watching it because yes she would be such a great voice actress
I’m so glad she’s in a new stage of her career. I’ve been a huge admirer of her work since I was a kid.
I have so much respect for Winona Ryder. First saw her in Beetlejuice and after Heathers, she could do no wrong (for me).
She played a terrifying villain in “The Crucible.” I thought she did her best work in it and would have enjoyed hearing her discuss it.
Good shout. I actually don't find her particularly great an actor, but thought she nailed it in The Crucible.
Yes! I love her completely but I hated that character ferociously
Agreed.
Didn't want this interview to end!! 🥰
I absolutely adore Winona Ryder 😍
I like the transition from "it doesn't necessarily mean you're crazy" talking about Girl Interrupted to immediately holding Christmas lights trying to talk to Will in Stranger Things lol
people forget how talented and amazing she has always been. I have always loved her voice and tone. I have loved her in everything.
Winona Ryder is a national treasure and must be protected at all costs.
@@ExpectantHarvestwhy do you keep questioning?
@@ExpectantHarvest you are everywhere in these Winona threads. You should hyper focus on why you have this one particular video in your crosshairs and handle that privately instead of online.
@@ExpectantHarvestYou know this because you she told you?
WINONA FOREVER I LOVE YOU ❤️
This is such a great interview. I love Winona Ryder and how she speaks fondly about her career.
Man, every one of these films had such a massive impact on me. I watched Little Women and Heathers 1000 times growing up. Winona you are so important!
I had to watch this many times over and over again as I am in awe of Queen Winona Ryder. Thank you Harpers Bazaar.
I think I've enjoyed Winona Ryder in every role I've seen. I don't remember if I saw Beetlejuice or Heathers first, but they were both good movies, and Winona Ryder was so special in both of those roles.
She disappeared for a while, but when she came back as Joyce in Stranger Things, I was just so amazed that she was so darned good!
I watched Stranger Things for her.
Girl, Interrupted is one of my all time favourites. I can always rewatch, even if just to say the lines with them.
Same here. I even read the novel. It was highly underrated film. Overrated by Angelina but Winona And Brittany were incredible as well. It's such a female empowering movie in many ways. These weren't perfect women trying to be perfect, they were more honest and broken.
She truly is so beyond iconic, we love you forever Winona 🫶🫶
Winona have been part of most of my life being in iconic movies I absolutely love ( Edward Scissorhands, Dracula, Little women ). I think her, Demi Moore, Johnny Depp, Keanu Reeves, Brad Pitt and Patrick Swayze literally personify the late 80´s/90’s to me, just like their movies they always remind me of good old times, when things were just light and fun. I was so overjoyed to reconnect with her trough Stranger things, she really deserved a second chance at success and it was just a full circle moment that she made it through Stranger Things which also surfs on the 80’s nostalgia ❤
I love Winona Ryder's work. She's been in some great movies! Thank you, Winona for all your wonderful acting throughout the years.
She is in the well deserved pantheon of ICONIC actors💎👑 without the hyperbole of the current trend of naming everrrrything iconic
Love her so much. She’s been in so many of my favorite films. Girl, Interrupted is a a movie I can watch so many times and still find something beautiful about it.
WOW!!! These comments are amazing!! 🎉Her role in the Crucible was powerful yet underrated. So much love for Winona! She is more gifted than her 90s peers, by far, and wiser about choosing well written scripts. She made me feel like I wasn’t alone back then, being a weird and deep insomniac. She is a natural beauty and so well spoken, choosing her words well. She doesn’t overexpose herself either. I wish her the best! ❤🎉
The first thing I ever saw her in was the movie “Lucas”…she really stood out in that.
Yeah me as well
she looked like a boy
Such a good actress. Loved her in Heathers. God bless you Winona.
She is the most endearing and special person
MOTHER IS BACK
Omg do people have to talk like that about our generation
@@tneowapl1-bv6grmother is mothering
@@tneowapl1-bv6grtheyre not harming anyone, theyre simply appreciating an insanely talented well loved actress. if you don't like the way they express it then I don't think the internet is the place for you
SHES SO BACK🖤🖤🖤🖤
SHE LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT
Beautiful? How so?
She's a wonderful actress! Stranger Things wouldn't have been so great without her.
I never got her and did not see her movies after Beetlejuice. I am going back to see everyone now. Always loved her in Stranger Things! 😊😊❤❤
She is one of my favourite actresses, so talented, intelligent and just incredible. I am so so happy she is finally getting to rebuild her career after the media destroyed her.
Growing up in the 2000s I felt so misunderstood every time I said my favorite actress was Winona Ryder. Stranger things really gave her that longevity 🖤
I am pretty young. I was born long after her glory days of the ninties, so I feel so weird every time I tell my friends my favorite actress is Winona Ryder. They have no idea, so I have to say she's wills mom
@One-Heart-And-Mind omg same! i hate it so much. shes not wills mom, shes winona freaking ryder its so sad they dont know her
What a Queen, a legend, an icon, and she is the cutest and most down to earth celebrity ever ❤❤❤
The mention of Brit and how close they were, hit me deeply... You're AMAZING Winona
Winona Ryder was my whole teenage years and beyond! She is a fantastic actor! She doesn't even touch all of her great movies. Edward Scissorhands, Reality Bites, How to Make an American Quilt, Bram Stokers Dracula, The Age of Innocence, Great Balls of Fire, these are just a few, in addition to what she mentioned, there are many more! She was the 90's! I hated that the paparazzi treated her so horribly! I'm glad she made a comeback!
I LOVE YOU WINONA ❤
Love this and Winona Ryder. She’s made so many great films. This should’ve been longer as her body of work is huge. Where’s “Reality Bites” and “Mermaids”. Would have loved to hear her talk about “The Age of Innocence” and “Alien Resurrection”.
And of course, “Bram Stokers Dracula”. She had the rights to the book and brought the script to Francis Ford Coppola and asked him to direct it. It was her way of making up for having to drop out of Godfather 3 at the final hour due to being sick. It left him in a bind having to cast his daughter Sofia in it, which critics said was a disastrous move. Winona felt bad and came back to Coppola with Dracula and to make peace. Would love to have heard her take on all that.
The 80's had the Brat pack, a talented mix of male and female actors.The 90's had Winona Ryder and several launching actors.She carried that eras teen movies...she was always there❤
She was around in the 80s though. Lucas, Beetlejuice, Heathers and Great Balls of Fire were all in the 80s.
So many amazing and impactful films - Winona, you chose films not to be famous, but to help young women understand themselves better and be more comfortable to own their individual quirkiness. Dark comedy is a lighter way to tackle heavy topics and you manage to do it gently but powerfully all at the same time - awesome 🤩
one day i just woke up and she was one of my favourites, cant explain it thanks for sharing this interview
Winona forever! ❤ I love every single film she’s been in. Top 5
Reality bites. The Crucible. Night on Earth. Dracula. Little women.
I was looking for a Night on Earth comment! Love Winona in that
Thank you for mentioning little women! It took far longer than it should to find that movie mentioned in a comment
@@arwenmoczygemba4842Little Women (1994) is absolutely my favorite adaptation and one of my favorite films. I remember seeing it in theaters when I was so young that I didn’t fully comprehend how long ago the 1860s were (I vividly remember believing my grandmother, who was born in 1925, grew up like the March sisters 😂). Now it is the film I regularly revisit when I need to feel that soothing balm of familiarity, family and love.
It’s been so wonderful following so many of her movies since I was a kid, she’s been in so many amazing girl roles, she’s just my lifelong favourite ❤❤
and how Winona can be so gorgeous like no-one is and can be that much gorgeous as Winona
Gosh, she’s one of a kind! Thank you for such great movies!
She's one of my fav actresses. I have always loved Winona Ryder. 🥰
she is so incredible. i never clicked a video so fast. thank you for asking her these questions! and thank you winona for answering 😁
Me too
Dear god, I have loved seeing her in movies my entire life. She is just sooooooo good and it's even better to see her come back in such a classy way.
Winona Ryder is such an icon. I love all her films and series.❤👸😍
Thank you so much for ALL of it, Winonna!! ❤😊
Winona is so real for constantly talking about how important it was to her that the movies were accurate to the time/people they were meant to portray. Someone needed to get her on the 2019 little women set 😭
Beetlejuice is my all time number one fav movie, since I was like 4 and again at 24
Wahoo , less than 3 months until the new beetle Juice movie comes out
She is such an icon and phenomenal actress. Very underrated.
I watched Little Women over & over again as a child. I loved Jo March & Ryder playing her. To this day it is one of my favorite movies♡
Winona was the one for me growing up. She is an otherworldly beautiful! i am completely in awe of her and her movies. I wished Reality Bites was included, that had a lot of influence on me in my adolescence years.
I grew up with these movies and I tell people, I was goth before goth was goth. They called some of us dirtballs but we actually added style. My alltime favorite story now though, is Little Women because she took a time that was difficult and different for women, and made her character shine in such a supreme human way. It just makes my whole heart smile. I'm trying to share this with my kids too.
