Winona Ryder ‘Prides Herself’ on ‘Being Picky’ With Roles: Overwork Is ‘a Recipe for Disaster’
Winona Ryder can ease up with work a bit now that 'Stranger Things' has wrapped and can be pickier with her projects, a source exclusively tells Closer.
Winona Ryder has no shortage of offers now that Stranger Things has fully wrapped, but a source exclusively tells Closer she’s happy to stay under the radar and enjoy a private life with partner Scott MacKinlay Hahn far away from prying eyes. The source notes that staying out of the spotlight and hanging out at home with Scott is more than enough for the actress, who encountered some serious career setbacks in the early 2000s, including an arrest for shoplifting in December 2001 that made it difficult for studios to find insurance with her as a lead for a few years, before a huge resurgence in the 2010s. A second source previously discussed Winona’s future plans as she comes off the gas pedal a bit and begins to slow her work down, saying she intends “to grow her fortune into old age through traditional investments in residential real estate and even flipping homes.” That source added the actress is forever grateful for the television windfall in her career’s second act, but “just because Winona was one of the first people to even care about or believe in the potential of Stranger Things does not mean she’s foolish enough to think another hit of that magnitude will just fall in her lap.”
