Winona Ryder ruled the world of cinema in the 90s, starring in blockbuster hits like Edward Scissorhands, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Little Women, and Heathers. However, breaking into Hollywood wasn't easy. People thought she didn’t fit the typical mainstream actress stereotype of having a tall stature and blonde hair.
