With the new film 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' out soon, the star's career is coming full circle
It is a warm afternoon in late spring, and Winona Ryder and I are walking through the Oakland Cemetery, a Victorian-style graveyard located in the center of Atlanta. Large oak and magnolia trees shade the manicured paths as we stroll between the grand mausoleums and tombstones. Ryder is wearing a straw bonnet, with a well-worn Leonard Cohen T-shirt under a black chore jacket that has a pin of a cartoon drawing of Jim Jarmusch affixed to its lapel.
As Lydia puts it so well in the first film: “I myself am strange and unusual.” Burton had made his directorial debut a few years prior with Pee-wee’s Big Adventure. Ryder was a virtual unknown, with just Lucas under her belt, a role for which she had dyed her hair black. It’s a style choice she has more or less maintained throughout her career. If you watch Lucas, you can see flickers of Lydia Deetz in Ryder’s Rina: Both are young women in possession of an innate sense of cool.
