It's been too long - Winona Ryder on the cover of American Vogue

Winona turns up on the August cover of American Vogue

I couldn't help but buy Vogue this month, I thought the cover was really pretty, and the English garden 'look' really emphasises the whole nature and rejuvenation theme they have going on this August. It is hard to avoid the ageing and environment debates going on in 2007, so it is cool to see them join them together. The cycle of life hey?

The best thing about this though of course, is that they get to interview the very elusive and quite low-profile 90's cinema icon; Winona Ryder. I've always adored her, from Heathers, Dracula, Mermaids through to Girl Interrupted. I know she campaigned hard to have that film made and produced, so it was shame that Angelina Jolie stole the show. After this film, Winona seemed to slip into film limbo, making dud movies with Adam Sandler and Richard Gere. Ryder's oddball-zing seem to go, and her roles were taken by the new ingenues like Natalie Portman, Anne Hathaway, and I think the similar looking Keira Knightley. So now she is 35, and back to form and making films. I always remember her liking JD Salinger and she was always curious about his reclusive lifestyle, which she kind of leads now. In the interview we learn about Winona's dream book collection, clothes, and experiences and photos. She talks for first time about her shoplifting incident. Winona is a funny lady, but I like her, she seems a bit tortured with her thinking, but something about her still intrigues me and hope we get to see her in more films.
