Winona Ryder full length movies
| Biography: |
Winona Ryder was born Winona Horowitz and named after her the town in which she was born, Winona Minnesota. She grew up in a ranch commune in Northern California where there was no electricity. She is the Goddaughter of Timothy Leary and her parents were friends of Beat poet Allen Ginsberg and once edited a book called "Shaman Woman Mainline Lady" an anthology of writings on the drug experience in literature - this included one piece by Louisa May Alcott. Winona Ryder was later to star as Jo in this author's "The Little Women (1994)". She moved with her parents to Petaluma (near San Francisco) when she was ten and enrolled in acting classes at the American Conservatory Theater. At 13 she had a video audition to the film "Desert Bloom (1986)", but didn't get the part. Director David Seltzer , however, spotted her and cast her in "Lucas (1986)". When telephoned to ask how she'd like to have her name appear on the credits, she suggested Ryder as her father's Mitch Ryder album was playing the background. Ryder was selected for the part of Mary Corleone in "Godfather: Part III (1990)", but had to drop out of the role after catching the flu from the strain of doing the films "The Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael (1990)" and "Mermaids (1990)" back to back. She said she didn't want to let everyone down by doing a substandard performance. She later made "Age of Innocence (1993)" which was directed by Martin Scorsese, who she believes to be "the best director in the world".

This screen interpretation of vampire literature classic is the most well-known and, more to say, brilliant one. Set in London, this spectacular picture closely follows the book, but is even more dramatic. This eye-catching movie tells about Johnathan (Keanu Reeves) and Mina (Wynona Ryder), young pair which soon will face the ancient vampire - count Dracula (Gary Oldmen). When John heads to Transylvania for the business travel, he has to communicate with the famous Count and the monster accidentally sees John's medallion with the picture of Mina. This film is not simply an eye-candy due to its exquisite visual aesthetics, but it is also a profound story, which tells what it takes to be an immortal monster... and to love forever, hopelessly. |

Lucas is a promising kid, bright, inquisitive, knowledgeable, industrious, but for a boy aged 14 those qualities don't count for much socially, his daily life in high school is a brave but hopeless struggle against cruel ridicule (nicknamed 'leukoplakia') and abuse on account of his frail figure, 'miniature' size and athletic ineptitude, while any demonstration of precocious erudition is frowned upon by his ignorant, dumber peers and seniors, fortunately with one remarkable exception: the studly football team captain, generally known as Cappie, gallantly protects the 'shrimp' and as soon as he gets to know Lucas appreciates his mind and courage, eager to learn from him. The arrival of an attractive new girl in his school and neighborhood proves a mixed blessing: Maggie becomes his best friend and companion, admiring his many talents, but inevitably she soon falls for Cappie the other way, so now his 'big brother' and protector seems little Lucas's rival, however hard the hunk tries to stay friends... |
