Winona Laura Horowitz[1] (born October 29, 1971),[1] known professionally as Winona Ryder, is an American actress. Having come to attention with quirky roles in the late 1980s,[2] she achieved success with her more dramatic performances in the 1990s. Ryder's many accolades include a Golden Globe Award, as well as nominations for two Academy Awards, a BAFTA Award, and a Grammy Award.
Following her film debut in Lucas (1986), Ryder rose to prominence when she starred in the comedy Beetlejuice (1988). Major parts in Heathers (1989), Edward Scissorhands (1990), and Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) came next. She earned two consecutive Oscar nominations—Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress—for her portrayals of a socialite in The Age of Innocence (1993) and Jo March in Little Women (1994), respectively. Her subsequent work included starring roles in Reality Bites (1994), How to Make an American Quilt (1995), The Crucible (1996), Alien Resurrection (1997), Celebrity (1998), Girl, Interrupted (1999), and Mr. Deeds (2002).
Ryder took a break from acting in the early 2000s, after the significant negative media attention brought by her arrest in 2001 for shoplifting,[3] later returning with smaller appearances in films such as Star Trek (2009), Black Swan (2010), and The Dilemma (2011). She portrayed Lois Wilson in the Hallmark television film When Love Is Not Enough (2010). Since 2016, she has played Joyce Byers on the Netflix series Stranger Things, for which she received her third Golden Globe nomination. She has since starred in the HBO miniseries The Plot Against America (2020) and the comedy horror sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024).
