It is the funniest, most challenging role she’s had to date, and she wears a great pair of boots. After ordering a Shirley Temple and a side of fries, Ryder begins with her part as Cher’s exasperated daughter in Mermaids. The actress, who is Timothy Leary’s goddaughter and who lives in downtown New York, has come to a Chelsea restaurant to discuss her winter hat trick: Mermaids, Edward Scissorhands (blond again), and Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael. In person, Winona Ryder is all of those things. She’s a world-class eccentric, and she has played teenagers as many of them really are: sweet, smart, and geeky. Still, she stayed afloat even as those pictures slid into the sea. All this is not to say Ryder hasn’t figured in a few throwaway films, namely 1969 and Great Balls of Fire. In the video for Mojo Nixon’s song “ Debbie Gibson Is Pregnant with My Two-Headed Lovechild,” Ryder’s sublime romping as the teen pop singer belongs on any list of her memorable performances-it was as simple as a blond wig. In Heathers, it was the monocle she wore while scribbling fiercely in her diary.

In Beetlejuice, in which she played a death-obsessed schoolgirl who routinely goes to the dinner table in full mourning dress, it was a black hat roughly the size of a satellite dish.

In her career so far, the 19-year-old actress has been a teenager’s teenager-playing left-of-left-field characters who are constantly dying of boredom and humiliation. Nobody rolls her eyes like Winona Ryder does. Winona Ryder: “I don’t have anything left to offer in the teen-angst area. She sets the story straight about her adolescent years and discusses her many “coming of age” roles. Here, we return to simpler times, when Ryder was on the cover of Interview in December 1990. The internet, of course, took her facial expressions and ran with them. In the span of about 30 seconds, her face seemingly cycled through every stage of grief, happiness, and confusion that a single person could muster. When they took the stage to receive the honor, Ryder’s co-star, David Harbour, took the mic and delivered a speech, but it was Ryder’s meme-worthy expression that held our attention. Last weekend, at the 23rd Screen Actors Guild Awards, its cast earned Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series. Stranger Things has brought on many a binge watch, as well as snagged awards and praise for its performances. Though she’s kept busy ever since, with notable roles in Edward Scissorhands (1990), The Crucible (1996), Girl, Interrupted (1999), and Black Swan (2010), her recent appearance as Joyce Byers, the concerned mother of a missing child on Netflix’s Stranger Things, felt like a return, and a reminder of her unwavering ability. Over two decades have passed since Winona Ryder “accidentally” killed her best frenemy in Heathers, the late-’80s cult classic.
