I know I’m not alone when I say that in my teenage years I formed a massive crush on the pixie like Winona Ryder. There was something so utterly charming about her work in such films at HEATHERS, BEETLEJUICE and EDWARD SCISSORHANDS that she was simply impossible to resist. I’m happy to say that we are seeing a return for this solid actress thanks to films like BLACK SWAN and her recent turn as real life wife to Mafia hit man Richard Kuklinski in THE ICEMAN opposite the great Michael Shannon.
Although I had briefly met the actress before, sitting down with her this time made me a little nervous. She certainly made me feel at ease and of course I appreciated her Leonard Cohen t-shirt that she was wearing. Talking about her latest, we discussed the character she played and her take on the real life person. We spoke about the possibility that the real Deborah might have known more about her husband than she claimed, which of course is purely conjecture on our part. Either way, Winona is terrific in the role and thankfully, she was absolutely incredible to chat with.
