Winona Ryder, a star of “Stranger Things,” revealed some information about her life after her 1993 relationship with Johnny Depp.
According to the 50-year-old in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, she was in “immense anguish.” The couple dated for four years before ending their high-profile relationship.
For a while, they were also engaged, and Depp inked Ryder’s name on his arm during that time. The ink bore the phrase “Winona Forever.” After the couple called off their wedding, Depp updated the tattoo to read “Wino Forever.” In 2020, Ryder even testified in Depp’s favor during his libel case against the British tabloid The Sun. Years ago, Johnny and I were close friends. For the first four years of our relationship, I considered him to be my best friend and a member of my family. I consider us to be one of my most important relationships in my life,” she said.

The writers of the hit Netflix series “Stranger Things” unanimously praised Ryder for constantly offering encouragement to the young performers on the set. Ross Duffer stated, “She’s talked to the kids about what fame is like, how the media can be, and the fear and bewilderment that come along with fame.” “I believe she has greatly aided them. I’m aware of how much she personally assisted Millie [Bobby Brown] in getting through it. And since so few people have gone through it, nobody else really can assist with it. I’m not sure I get it.
