Winona Ryder is an American actress known for her career spanning decades, beginning as a prominent "It Girl" in the late 1980s and 1990s. She initially gained attention playing quirky, often offbeat outsider characters, particularly in films like Beetlejuice (1988), Heathers (1989), and Edward Scissorhands (1990).
She successfully transitioned into more dramatic and critically acclaimed roles in the 1990s, receiving two consecutive Academy Award nominations for her work in The Age of Innocence (1993) and Little Women (1994). Other notable films from this period include Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), Reality Bites (1994), and Girl, Interrupted (1999).
Following a period of fewer roles in the early 2000s, Ryder experienced a major career resurgence by starring as the fiercely devoted mother Joyce Byers in the hit Netflix science-fiction horror series Stranger Things (2016–present), which introduced her work to a new generation of fans.
