Winona Forever - Top 6 Roles

For any cinephile born in the 70s or 80s, you can guarantee they will all have an unusual kind of love for Winona Ryder. Not a fan of Hollywood and rarely partaking in interviews other than to promote her films, Ryder is the somewhat elusive actress that we adore to adore.

Her emotive eyes on screen are reminiscent to the actresses from the silent movie era and she has a genuine indie charm that always manages to shine through all of her roles. With the release of The Iceman, I thought it was only appropriate to look back at some of her roles:

1) The highly comical, nun obsessed teen, Charlotte Flax in Mermaids (1990) 

2) The fight for the good, Veronica in the edgy high school cult classic (and one of my favourite films of all time) , Heathers (1988)

3)The self obsessed heart-breaker, Nola, in Woody Allen's Celebrity (1998)

                                            

4) The highly intuitive, Susanna Kaysen, in Girl, Interrupted (1999) 

5) The ambitious and brave, Jo March in Little Women (1994)

6) Weird and wonderful teen, Lydia Deetz in Tim Burton's, Beetlejuice (1988)

The Iceman is out in cinema's now and follows the story (inspired heavily by true events) of notorious contract killer, Richard Kulkinski (Michael Shannon) from his early days in the mob until his arrest for killing over one hundred people. Appearing to be a slave to the American Dream, a father and husband, in reality Kulkinski was a ruthless killer whose wife and children had no idea.

Ryder will play Kulkinski's wife.
