In an honest confession, Stranger Things star Winona Ryder talked about the harsh criticism she got early in her career in Hollywood. The famous actress, who became famous in the late 1980s and early 1990s with movies like “Beetlejuice” and “Heathers,” said that casting directors once told her she was “unattractive” and that she wasn’t “pretty enough” to be a star.
The actress who won a Golden Globe talked about those painful times and how she was told not to pursue acting because she didn’t fit the beauty standards of the time. Ryder, on the other hand, didn’t give up and went on to become one of the most famous faces of Hollywood’s golden youth generation.
Even though she was turned down early on, Winona’s career took off with her roles in Edward Scissorhands, Reality Bites, and Girl, Interrupted. Today, people love her for her subtle acting and her long-running role in Netflix’s hit show Stranger Things, where she continues to win over new fans.
Fans and people in the business have praised Ryder for being honest and strong, saying that her story is an inspiring example of how to keep going and believe in yourself in an industry that often focuses on looks.
