Revision as of 20:01, 29 November 2007

Template:Realworld Winona Laura Horowitz (born 29 October 1971; age 52), better known as Winona Ryder, is the popular actress who will be playing Spock's mother, Amanda Grayson, in Star Trek. [1] The role was originated by the late Jane Wyatt in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Journey to Babel".

Hailing from Olmsted County, Minnesota, Ryder made her film debut in the 1986 comedy Lucas and acquired recognition for her role as Lydia in director Tim Burton's Beetle Juice in 1988. She would later reteam with Burton for 1990's Edward Scissorhands, which also featured Aaron Lustig and Biff Yeager. Her breakthrough came when she starred opposite Christian Slater in the cult 1989 black comedy Heathers.

She earned Academy Award nominations for her performances in 1993's The Age of Innocence (also featuring Norman Lloyd) and 1994's Little Women (co-starring Kirsten Dunst). She also won a Golden Globe and a National Board of Review Award for The Age of Innocence. In addition, she has become known for starring in such films as Mermaids (for which she earned a Golden Globe nomination and won a National Board of Review award), Bram Stoker's Dracula (featuring Jay Robinson), Ben Stiller's Reality Bites (featuring Bill Bolender and Andy Dick), How to Make an American Quilt (co-starring Jean Simmons, Gail Strickland and Alfre Woodard), 1996's The Crucible (opposite Bruce Davison), Alien: Resurrection (co-starring Raymond Cruz, Brad Dourif, Leland Orser and Ron Perlman), Girl, Interrupted (co-starring Whoopi Goldberg and Kurtwood Smith), Lost Souls (with Brad Greenquist and Alfre Woodard), and Mr. Deeds (with Erick Avari, Scott Thompson Baker, Bruce French and Harve Presnell).

Early in her career, Ryder co-starred with Mariette Hartley and Joanna Cassidy in 1969, a 1988 dramatic film. In 1996, Ryder worked with Matt Malloy in Boys and with Harris Yulin in Al Pacino's Looking for Richard. In addition, Ryder has appeared in two films with Star Trek: The Next Generation guest star Famke Janssen: Woody Allen's Celebrity (also starring Bebe Neuwirth) in 1998 and David Wain's The Ten in 2007. Her rare television works include voicing in the "Lisa's Rival" episode of the long-running animated series The Simpsons and guest-starring on an episode of the popular sitcom Friends (in the episode "The One with Rachel's Big Kiss").

On 12 December 2001, Ryder was arrested on shoplifting and illegal drug possession charges in Beverly Hills, California, in what became a worldwide media frenzy.[2] The following year, she was convicted of grand theft and vandalism and sentenced to three years' probation and 480 hours of community service, in addition to being ordered to pay over $10,000 in fines and restitutions and to attend psychological and drug counseling.[3][4] In June of 2004, her case was reviewed and her felony charges were dropped to misdemeanors.[5]

After the shoplifting incident, Ryder took a brief hiatus from the spotlight and her film career slowed down considerably. She returned in 2004 for a supporting role in Finn Taylor's The Darwin Awards and Richard Linklater's A Scanner Darkly.
