Winona Ryder, the darling of a new wave of indie cinema currently emanating from the US, sits down for a chat with Terry Wogan about her forthcoming movie, Mermaids, which she co-stars alongside Cher and child-actor Christina Ricci.
She discusses how Cher helped her cope with some of the weirder press coverage she’s been getting, and how it feels to be the target of the tabloids – particularly now that she is engaged to another high-profile actor, Johnny Depp. Ryder stresses the importance of having stability in her personal life, to counteract the topsy-turvy world of show business.
As Hollywood’s current go-to actor for coming-of-age and right-of-passage movies, how does she feel about the way teenagers are portrayed on the big screen?
