Winona Ryder Reveals She Lost Out On ‘Eternal Sunshine’ Role Due To Excessive Media Attention
Winona Ryder said excessive media attention made her lose out on 'a lot of parts,' including 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.'
“It was such a brilliant script and [director Michel Gondry and I] were at this little restaurant and people kept coming up to me and there was a random paparazzi guy outside, which was kind of unusual for me, but I just remember [Gondry’s] face, and trying to convince him that this isn’t normal, and I know it’s not normal,” she said in a recent cover story with Esquire. The casting meeting was just one of many opportunities the two-time Oscar nominee said she lost out on because of a media circus surrounding her personal life, including her romantic relationships, mental health and shoplifting incident. Her most well-known credits include Edward Scissorhands, Heathers, Black Swan, The Age of Innocence, Reality Bites, Little Women, Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Girl, Interrupted.
