Winona Ryder is an American actress. Having come to attention with quirky roles in the late 1980s, she achieved success with her more dramatic performances in the 1990s. Ryder's many accolades include a Golden Globe Award, as well as nominations for two Academy Awards, a BAFTA Award, and a Grammy Award.


After Ryder's film debut in Lucas (1986), Ryder rose to prominence when she starred in the comedy Beetlejuice (1988), a role she reprised in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024). Other major roles included Edward Scissorhands (1990). She earned two consecutive Oscar nominations—Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress—for her portrayals of a socialite in The Age of Innocence (1993) and Jo March in Little Women (1994), respectively. Her subsequent work included starring roles in Reality Bites (1994), How to Make an American Quilt (1995), The Crucible (1996), Girl, Interrupted (1999), and Mr. Deeds (2002).


Ryder took a break from acting in the early 2000s, later returning with smaller appearances in films such as Star Trek (2009), and The Dilemma (2011). She portrayed Lois Wilson in the Hallmark television film When Love Is Not Enough (2010). Since 2016, she has played Joyce Byers on the Netflix series Stranger Things (2016-), for which she received her third Golden Globe nomination.
