Strange Behavior After Second Chance

[Blind Gossip] Given how many ups and downs this American actress has had in her life and in her career, you would think that she would go out of her way to be kind and grateful to people.

No.

She became a movie star during her teens. The 1980s and 1990s were good to her, and she landed role after role in hit films. She even landed one or two Oscar nominations.

Then her personal relationships  – with a couple of male movie stars – got messy.

Her relationship with her best friend – another female movie star – got messy.

Our actress started doing some dumb things that made it difficult to hire her. She could not get bonded for filming.

All in all, her life and career hit a low point in the early 2000s. She went from being a movie star… to being the punch line of a joke. 

A few years later, she staged a comeback.

She is currently starring on a popular TV series.

Good for her! It’s not a big movie, but it is one of those things that provides a steady income and the chance for good publicity.

You would think that she would be grateful for the opportunity, and be kind to the people who are still interested in her.

Nope.

We have a couple of things to tell you about her behavior both on and off the set.

She is very cranky on the set. She hates the wig she has to wear as her character and rips it off at the end of the day and throws it.

That is rather disrespectful to the people on set who have to maintain those things. But at least she didn’t try to steal the wig!

Also,

When she leaves the house, she does not want to be photographed at all. She wears a big hat and puts her head down so you can’t get a photo.

Well, some stars do like their privacy.

Someone tried to take her photograph as she was walking down the street. She gave them the ultimate death stare. Then she had one of her handlers go up to the person and yell at them and tell them they had better not take her photo ever again!

So, if you are a fan and you see our movie star walking down a public street, there are several things that you should not do.

You should not look at her.

You should not speak to her.

You should not expect her to be nice to you.

You should definitely not take her photo… or you will have to deal with one of her “handlers.”

For an actress who should be grateful about a second chance, that certainly is some strange behavior!

    This makes me sad because I love her – but unfortunately have heard of her diva-like behavior for years after she started making comebacks.

  4. Gold1984 says

    I’m thinking this is Laura Dern.
    Although I’m surprised if it is because I never really thought She went away.
    But more just had High and Low Periods like a lot of Actors do.
    But Maybe i’m wrong ?

    She feels entitled to be a star but doesn’t deserve the opportunity she’s getting

    [Optional] What do you think of her? Bless her heart, surrounding herself with “minders” when, let’s face it are unnecessary, makes her feel relevant. The insecurity is saddening.

  15. nadezhda says

    Noni, stranger things.
    Except for the wig part, I don’t think what she did was rude imagine having a bad day n have people taking pics without permission

  21. radmom says

    Wynona Ryder, “Stranger Things”. She should thank her lucky stars that she’s even slightly relevant again, but like a textbook narcissist, she’s not.

    Stranger Things
    I liked her early years but the drugs messed her up, she’s so forced. Hollyweird messes people up more than it makes them awesome.

  24. amagod121 says

    Gotta be Winona Ryder who also figures into the related blind.

    The Plot Against America.

    Maybe she is a witch with a capital B or maybe she has become paranoid and unpleasant due to the loss of the script and lead role in SiL plus the huge fallout over her theft and arrest. I really don’t know what to make of her.

    Thoughts? Really don’t have any. I’ve never watched the show but she should be grateful that people still hire her and that people would still care to want her picture. That’s more than a lot of aging actors and actresses get.

    She plays her characters well! She was iconic in little women!

  34. GooglyMoogly says

    Awwww….Winona Ryder and Stranger Things…(that wig is pretty ugly, but hey- its TV!)

    I’m sorry to hear this….I always liked her….

    Winona Ryder

    Stranger things

    Optional. I’m a 90s kid so I will always have a soft spot for her.

    Winona Ryder
    Stranger Things
    She’s always been quirky, to say the least. I loved “Beetlejuice”. It’s the only movie I liked that involved Alec Baldwin or Tim Burton or Winona Ryder in it. I’m just not a big fan of any of them. No, I do not like “Nightmare Before Christmas”.

    Winona Ryder, Stranger Things.

    Sad to hear she’s a diva. I always thought she seemed very nice.

  51. dahlia202049 says

    Winona
    That’s too bad. Life is too short to be cranky all the time! I’ve always liked her…I’m a 90s kid. She was a big part of pop culture for us. I loved her character/relationship with Ethan Hawke in Reality Bites.

  60. aaateebz says

    Winona Ryder?

    I don’t feel strongly about her one way or the other, and while some of the behavior (esp on set) is rude, I can’t blame her reaction to the photo thing. She’s been pretty open about the mental struggles she’s had and I can’t imagine how invasive and paranoia inducing some of those interactions can be. I would HATE having strangers think I owe them a conversation or photo op while I’m just out on the street, just because they’d seen me in some movies. I’d be miserable…

  61. 4sixx2 says

    Winona Ryder. She always seemed to have an very high opinion of her weird self. She had a falling out with BFF Gwyneth Paltrow. She was arrested for stealing. Bad breakup with Depp. She wears a wig on “Strange”r Things, whatever, she’s replaceable. The last thing Millie Bobbi Brown (Drake issues) needs is a bad role model.

  62. spookie says

    Oh no, I think it’s Winona Ryder!

    I really liked her, even during the shoplifting fiasco – even though she was very rich it’s often something people do when things are going wrong in their life and they lack control. I’ve really been enjoying her comeback, as some of her films are among my favourites of all time (Beetlejuice, Heathers, Little Women).

  64. aaaDoggy says

    Winona Ryder!
    Stranger Things
    Love her in all her acting roles, fame can be tough stuff. Never meet your heroes.

  66. TeacherKat says

    Is this Winona Ryder? Obviously it would be Stranger Things

    Optional: I like her as an actress, no real opinion about her as a person.

  68. noblegiftfrommars says

    Actress: Winona Ryder

    TV Show: Stranger Things

    What do you think of her?
    I’ve enjoyed a few of her movies (HEATHERS!) but I don’t really think of her.

  75. MaryQuiteContrary says

    Winona Ryder
    Stranger Things

    She used to be my favorite actress but once she showed her true colors in the early 90s, she lost me as a fan. In retrospect, maybe she and Johnny Depp deserved each other.

    • MaryQuiteContrary says

      I meant early 2000s, not early 90s. When she got caught with stolen clothes and pills.

  77. cassadaga says

    Winona Ryder
    Stranger Things

    I think when she was younger, she was probably one of the most beautiful women in the world.

  79. deliajones says

    Poor Winona. After she was so out of it at the Emmys a few years ago I assumed she was using something to take the edge off. If I remember correctly, she was never comfortable with fame and has always had anxiety, so being back in the spotlight especially with the way Hollywood treats women’s aging (find an article about J Lo that doesn’t mention it!) it must be a lot of pressure. I don’t begrudge her her privacy, honestly, she has been entertaining me since I was 7 years old and I empathize!

  83. Summerborn says

    Winona Ryder (stealing, “strange”)
    Stranger Things

    Love her performance on the show, sorry to hear she’s created s so much drama behind the scenes.

  88. rodieb123 says

    Winona Ryder
    Stranger Things

    The wig throwing is a little bit bratty, but she’s always been a private person. I don’t think it seems too strange that she enjoys her anonymity.

    I love her and think she’s beautiful and so talented. I’m glad she’s getting work again!

  90. Jwoww123 says

    Winona Ryder-

    Not sure what to think of her. I remember reading she had mental problems and was a thief

  92. ginap702 says

    I’m thinking Winona Ryder from Stranger Things?
    I always liked her because she was off beat in a time when not many people were. I think she should be pretty grateful for her second chance.

  99. Midsomerfan says

    I am sorry to guess that this is Winona Ryder, based on the „strange“ clue for Stranger Things and the related blind.
    I have always liked her despite her ups and downs and still think she is a great actress. Very sorry though to hear how difficult she is on set. 🙁

  100. nattyrosebud says

    The wig thing is disrespectful to the hair & makeup team.

    But the quote of someone saying ‘when she leaves the house she doesn’t want to be photographed’?! Sounds like a paparazzi complaining and I wouldn’t blame her for death staring them. It’s different than Winona snubbing a fan at an event or something.

  112. gypsyjones says

    Winona Ryder, Stranger Things

    Optional: I don’t think of her! She’s an actress, pretending to be other people for a living. Best of luck to her in life.
