Famously... - Winona: 2. Boy Trouble

Actor and podcaster Maisie Williams presents the next chapter in the Winona Ryder story.

When Winona goes up for a part in 1989’s Heathers, the controversial black comedy about murderous high-schoolers, her agent begs her to reconsider.

But there’s no stopping Winona. She’ll trust her instincts, produce work that means something, and become the face of a generation.

Along the way, she’ll go through what we all go through. She’ll meet her first love, and question what it means to be true to herself.

But she’ll do it in the Wild West of the 90s tabloid culture. All eyes on her. And something will have to give.

A Cup and Nuzzle Production. Produced by Natalie Jamieson.
