One of Winona Ryder's most popular films is Heathers. Director Michael Lehmann's subservie satire stars the then-teenaged Beetlejuice star as a character who wants her best friends, all named Heather, dead. So she teams up with her toxic boyfriend JD (CHristian Slater) and kills each of the girls in her clique and makes it look like a suicide.

Reminiscing the audition for the film, Ryder stated in a clip for Harper’s Bazaar that she "wasn’t considered pretty enough, so I went across the street to the Beverly Center, to the Macy’s counter. They had them do a makeover on me. Then I went back and I was like, ‘Please!’

She added, “But my agent at the time literally got down on her knees, she’s like, ‘Please, you’re gonna destroy any chance of a career'.But I actually did lose a job right when it was coming out. I had been cast in a movie, and the director took great offense to it. I think I made the right call.”

Ryder's latest film is Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the sequel to her 1988 film with director Tim Burton and actor Michael Keaton. Her upcoming projects include Stranger Things season 5.
