Winona Ryder

Winona Ryder is a minor character in the novel "最佳影星" inspired by the celebrity persona of Winona Ryder.

Volume 1 (1999)
Winona Ryder used her status as a producer of Girl, Interrupted to cut many individual scenes of Angelina Jolie to sabotage her role so that the limelight would remain on herself. She also heard that an extra named Matthew Horner had created the crew thanks to Angelina Jolie's recommendation so she decided to cause trouble for him.

Later, when Jolie confronted her about her scenes being deleted, Ryder claimed that as a named-producer in the crew it was within her rights to remove insignificant scenes. The two continued arguing until it reached the point where the production manager was forced to call an early day off. Winona Ryder left while Angelina Jolie remained annoyed.

The next day, Jolie showed Ryder a video of her stealing stealing a magazine from a library. Winona Ryder turned pale from fear while watching the video and asked Angelina Jolie what she wanted. Jolie didn't ask for money but stated that this footage would be sent directly to the media if Ryder ever attempted to cut her scenes or suppress her with her status.

She also told her to upgrade Mathew Horner's role. Winona Ryder had to accept this condition for the sake of her career but she ensured that Angelina Jolie and Mathew Horner both signed an NDA regarding the footage. In addition, due to the condition involving Matthew Horner's role up-gradation, she realized that he probably had something to do with Angelina Jolie getting her hands on the footage.

That night, she was unable to sleep due to the sheer amount of annoyance and anger she felt towards Matthew Horner. Her boyfriend, Matt Damon, asked her why she was so annoyed but she didn't say anything other than naming Matthew Horner.

The next day, he confronted Matthew while he was leaving the set to question him about what exactly happened between his girlfriend and him. However, Matthew was unable to answer him due to the confidentiality agreement signed by both him and Angelina Jolie. Damon let him after he realized that Matthew Horner was unable to speak on this matter for some reason.

Volume 2 (2000)
The next year, Winona Ryder was caught stealing jewelry and clothes worth over $5,000 from a high-fashion store and was convicted for grand-theft. As a result, her reputation plummeted and her acting career effectively ended.
