Winona Ryder Never Thought Lydia Deetz Would Be a Mom in ‘Beetlejuice 2’ and Predicted ‘She’d Be This Spinster by Choice in the Attic’ Instead
Winona Ryder never thought her "Beetlejuice" character Lydia Deetz would be a mother in the sequel.
Ryder was only 15 years old when she filmed the original “Beetlejuice,” and she recently told Entertainment Weekly that she never predicted her character would become a mother in the sequel. While the plot of the “Beetlejuice” sequel remains largely under wraps, the film’s emotional through line is the strained relationship between Ryder’s Lydia and her daughter Astrid, played by Jenna Ortega. Original cast members Michal Keaton and Catherine O’Hara are also back for the sequel, with newcomers including Willem Dafoe, Justin Theroux and Monica Bellucci.
