The ultimate ’90s alt girl, Winona Ryder defined a decade in a way few other actors ever have. With her quirky charm, effortlessly cool goth-grunge aesthetic, and magnetic mix of wide-eyed sincerity and self-aware irony, Ryder channeled the youthful angst and rebellion of the era in Gen X touchstones like HEATHERS and REALITY BITES, while projecting timeless emotional depth in acclaimed period pieces like THE AGE OF INNOCENCE (which scored her an Academy Award nomination) and THE CRUCIBLE. Perhaps more than any other actor, Ryder captured what it felt like to be young in the final years of the twentieth century.
