Winona Ryder
Winona Ryder is an actress famous for playing kooky, slightly awkward characters in a number of movies. Some of her most famous roles have been the Love Interest of Edward Scissorhands in the titular movie, Susanna Kaysen in Girl Interrupted, Veronica Sawyer in Heathers and, most recently, a starring role in The Private Lives of Pippa Lee (2009) and a supporting role in Black Swan (2010). She was involved with the actor Johnny Depp for three years before they later split, and was linked with Matt Damon in the early Noughties.
