Behind Her IRRISISTIBLE BeaUty




  Two days ago, the rain was pouring real hard and I was in our den watching television. There’s really nothing that interest me, just scanning the channels then something caught my attention, it was about WINONA RYDER (a.k.a Winona Laura Horowitz) featured in the BIOGRAPHY CHANNEL. I just find her fascinating since high school because of her innocent and fragile image not to mention I had a copy of her movie REALITY BITES. I bought it for the reason that I love the soundtrack behind it, FYI, Stay by Lisa Loeb.

  
So, anyway highways… to all Winona Ryder Fans out there fasten your seatbelts!

  Did you know that she’s been bullied while attending school? She was even mistakenly identified a male by her classmates because of how she dress and her bob cut hair. Because of that, her parents decided to home school her for a while. Until such time she was sent to a Conservatory School, an institution wherein you are taught about music or drama to a professional standard. This was the time that begun her interest into acting.

  Here’s the part that intrigued me about her… Did you also know that her first boyfriend in show business was the hailed SEXIEST MAN ALIVE, the hottie, funny, handsome JOHNNY DEPP? Yes! He even claimed that it was love at first sight the moment they met on the red carpet and the rest is history. Would you believe they both starred in EDWARD SCISSORHANDS which at the same time produced by Johnny depp? Ugh! I missed that part. I watched that movie but unaware they were real lovers all those times.shoot! Who cares? I guess you’d be telling me now how crazy I sound…=) you see, I’ve always been a big celebrity fanatic. My cousin told me once, way back when I was in high school. To continue with this revelation, their relationship lasted, if I’m not mistaken, four years. Johnny Depp met Kate Moss, nah! Just kidding! After the break up Winona started dating one of the front man of the famous rock band before she met MATT DAMON. She’s just undeniably very beautiful, attractive and intelligent rolled into one that guys couldn’t resist her! What I really like about this celeb was her generosity, kind heart and empathetic nature. She suppo
Winona now was one of the respected actresses in the Hollywood. She had her walk of fame in the Beverly Hills at an early age. She’d been nominated best actress in the OSCARS. She’s very devoted to her career, hard working person, and a very good actress that she didn’t even bother compromising her health. All those years she had been battling with insomnia and episodes of depression until she couldn’t endure the pain she’s been going through that made her decide to spend three days on the psychiatric unit. While on her confinement, her dad gave her a novel GIRL INTERRUPTED. Winona found the story interesting and insisted on doing a movie of it. It’s because she can relate with the story and to think that it was the one she’d been searching all her life. A year after, girl interrupted was released produced by her. She gave all her might for the success of that movie. During the release of the movie, what people kept on gushing about was her co-star ANGELINA JOLIE which also gave her a big break and won her a GOLDEN GLOBE AWARD that's supposedly a credit for Winona. Another frustration for Winona but she tried herself to keep up and focused on the movie instead. (This is what I’ve been telling to myself, that these occurrences are the one’s that we cannot escape. No matter where we are in the situation, there were always be stressors that would come in our way that could hinder us to function well and move on. It’s just a matter of how we cope with it, how we percieve it and how our attitude deals with it).

  After those episodes of depression, here comes another controversy that shocked the whole world. Winona was caught shoplifting. Even I could not believe it. That incident wasn’t Winona herself. I even heard from someone that Winona was kleptomaniac. I don’t know, but in bio channel they did not mention any of it. They only said that she was not in her normal self and found out that her bag has a lot of prescriptions in it. They mentioned one drug, a morphine, which in my knowledge it’s for pain and can cause addiction with large amount. This drug is used cautiously.

  After the incident, Winona was in the legal proceeding for committing the crime of felony. A very serious crime that could end you up in jail for the rest of your life, if found guilty. Because of that, all her insurances were lost, leaving Winona miserable but she remain making movies and even appeared in SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE making fun out of that incident as a public apology. More and more of her fans were rallying of freeing her. After the legal proceeding, Winona was found guilty. It must have been one of her toughest times but two years after the charges was dropped from felony to misdemeanors. That was very lucky of her. Now, she’s starting to get herself back. Her last movie was an animated sci-fi thriller starred  alongside Keanu Reeves and Robert Downey Jr way back in 2006.

  Loved your attitude Winona! Life goes on. I hope to see lots of movie of her in the future.
