Winona Ryder, born Winona Laura Horowitz on October 29, 1971, in Winona County, Minnesota, is an American actress known for her versatile performances and iconic roles in both film and television.
Her parents, Cynthia Palmer and Michael Horowitz, were both authors and editors, and her father was also a bookseller. Growing up, she was surrounded by literature and creativity, which likely influenced her career path. She has a younger brother named Urie and two older half-siblings from her mother's previous marriage.
Her stage name was inspired by her father's favorite soul and rock singer, Mitch Ryder. She began her acting career with a small role in the film "Lucas" (1986) and quickly rose to prominence with her role in the comedy "Beetlejuice" (1988).
Her career continued to flourish in the 1990s with notable performances in films such as "Heathers" (1989), "Edward Scissorhands" (1990), "Bram Stoker's Dracula" (1992), and "The Age of Innocence" (1993), for which she received her first Academy Award nomination.
She was in a high-profile relationship with actor Johnny Depp from 1989 to 1993, and later had a series of relationships that she has described as "disastrous." In 2011, she began dating fashion designer Scott Mackinlay Hahn, and the couple has been together ever since.
