WHy is Winona Ryder an Infamous Hottie?
From Wikipedia.com: Ryder has had many high profile relationships with actors. She was engaged to actor Johnny Depp for three years beginning in July 1990.[26] During their relationship, Depp had a tattoo placed on his arm reading "Winona Forever," which he had altered to "Wino Forever" after their separation. Ryder later had serious relationships with Soul Asylum's Dave Pirner and actor Matt Damon. Ryder also told W Magazine in a July, 2002 issue that she is close friends with comedian and actor Jimmy Fallon.[27] She was also close friends with actress Gwyneth Paltrow, until they reportedly "grew apart".[28] In 1993, Ryder became involved in the Polly Klaas kidnapping case.[29] Klaas lived in the same town where Ryder grew up, Petaluma. Ryder offered a $200,000 reward for the 12 year-old kidnap victim's safe return. After Polly's death, Ryder starred in the 1994 film adaptation of Little Women by Louisa May Alcott and dedicated it to her memory. Little Women was one of Polly's favorite novels. The producers at first wanted to remove the dedication, but Ryder said she would not do any publicity for the film if it was removed, so it was retained.[30] In December of 2002, during Ryder's sentencing for shoplifting, her attorney Mark Geragos detailed Ryder's efforts in the Klaas kidnapping during his defense arguments.[citation needed] DA assistant Ann Rundle then accused Ryder of "building her career over the body of a dead child." Ryder was visibly upset by the accusation. Mark Klaas, Polly's father, was expelled from the courtroom while attempting to voice protest. On December 12, 2001, Ryder was arrested for shoplifting $5,500 USD worth of designer clothes and accessories at a Saks Fifth Avenue department store in Beverly Hills, California.[31][32][33] Los Angeles District Attorney Stephen Cooley produced a team of eight prosecutors. Cooley filed four felony charges against her in what was described by a British newspaper The Guardian as a "show-trial", since the prosecution demanded the trial be televised. Ryder hired noted celebrity defense attorney Mark Geragos. Negotiations for a plea-bargain failed at the end of summer 2002.[34] As noted by Joel Mowbray from the National Review, the prosecution was not ready to offer the actress what was given to 5000 other defendants in similar cases, an open door to a no-contest plea on misdemeanor charges. During the trial, she was also accused of using drugs without valid prescriptions. According to a probation report, Ryder had filled up to 37 prescriptions written by 20 doctors, using six different aliases, in a three-year period.[citation needed] The defense produced the written prescriptions for the drugs that the police found in her purse, and the prosecution consequently dropped the charge.[citation needed] Ryder was convicted of grand theft and vandalism, but was acquitted on the third felony charge, burglary.[35] In December of 2002, she was sentenced to three years' probation, 480 hours of community service, US$3,700 in fines, and US$6,355 in restitution to the Saks Fifth Avenue store—and was ordered to attend psychological and drug counselling by the judge.[36] The charges were eventually reviewed, and on June 18, 2004 the felonies were reduced to misdemeanors.[37][38] |
