Winona Ryder’s ‘creepy’ stalker was an extra in her films
Either way, you’ve finished Stranger Things, Netflix’s surprise hit series.
Winona Ryder, a person whose entire career is based on a nuanced understanding of human emotion, would like people to stop giving her – and all womankind – sh*t for having feelings.
‘You have to be careful, ‘ she warned to the New York Magazine, added: ‘I told the director, because he was kinda creepy’.
The ’90s icon has weathered a hard public image that only got tougher following her 2001 arrest for shoplifting.
“I’ve been called a c- to my face by someone who was just saying they were a fan”, she said. “And I’ve realized recently it’s literally impossible to try to change that story”.
During the interview, she also tackled another issue that she’s plagued by, and that’s the perception that she’s “supersensitive”.
“I know nothing could compare, and I haven’t had that experience, but when my niece was born, I felt like I would jump in front of a auto and die for this little person I didn’t even know yet”, Ryder said. “It’s so freakish to me”.
Ryder, who now stars in Netflix’s “Stranger Things”, said she’s been labeled as “supersensitive and fragile”. “To do what I do, I have to remain open”, she says, arguing that those terms – sensitive, vulnerable – are often used as shorthand for weakness.
According to Matt, the show is one of the most popular and most highly rated shows on IMDB as of the time being which would indicate that the show is getting renewed soon despite the fact that Netflix did not announce season 2 during the Television Critics Association panel.
The Oscar-nominated actress says anxiety has an unnecessary negative connation: “Even that word, anxious“. She says that sensitive is so often used as a bad word – a euphemism for weak or insane.
The day after Will vanishes, the boys encounter a mysterious girl with supernatural abilities who just so happens to know where Will is.
Ryder went public about her battles with depression and anxiety in a candid 1999 interview with Diane Sawyer, speaking out while publicising the mental health drama Girl, Interrupted, which she starred in and executive produced. She stated that some think her character is “crazy” and defended her character, “I’m like, ‘OK, wait a second, she’s struggling”. Two kids, deadbeat dad, working her ass off.
