Winona F o r e v e r...
Appreciation thread for the vibrant Lives/Careers of Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder

The advantage of being an Actor, in their words:

"I feel really good about my (film) characters in the sense that I at least tried something.
If it works, great. If it doesn't work, I tried."
- Johnny [x]
"I'm grateful I got to start at the time I did. As much as I love it,
I don't know if I would even have become an actor" (young, and under today's public scrutiny).
- Winona [x]

Bask in the memories of their romantic relationship which spanned four years (1989-1993) ❤

"Johnny comes bounding in like a wild puppy, in cut-off T-shirt, bovver boots and ripped jeans, looking like a British pop singer.
They hug and kiss.
His taste and looks seem in complete contradiction to Winona's.
He likes clothes that have a Dickensian, dandified feel - ruffled shirts, frock-coats, morning suits.
Everything about this couple seems very English:
Debutante girl meets eccentric Bohemian boy.
Their home, their clothes and the way they are together are very romantic;
There is a feeling that they are living in the wrong era in the wrong country."
- Sarajane Hoare for Vogue (UK), May 1991 [x]

"Before we wrapped CRY-BABY, Depp's lawyers did the paperwork to get me ordained as a minister in the Universal Life Church because (he and Ryder) wanted me to perform the marriage ceremony, but I gently talked them out of it because Winona was so young." - John Waters [x]

"Their split was during the filming of ED WOOD and there were days he would come crying. I felt so bad. I asked him why it happened but all he said was, 'It wasn't her fault, it was mine.' When he met Kate (Moss), it wasn't the same as Winona. I felt weird to be around him. He wasn't acting like Johnny anymore. It's almost like Winona took Johnny's soul, Johnny's love." - Tim Burton

"Crazy For You by Madonna describes our relationship." - Winona
"There's been nothing in my 27 years that's comparable to the feeling I have with Winona." - Johnny [x]

I'll start the thread with some overdue appreciation for their acting

Loved Johnny so much as Ichabod Crane and his on-screen chemistry with Christina Ricci in Sleepy Hollow

Winona as Mina was dazzling as Mina in Bram Stoker's DRACULA with the superbly talented Gary Oldman as her screen partner

And both films were exactly to my taste - well-acted Gothic romances.

This romance was beautiful

Great comparison!

Their styles were remarkably similar

That 90's Gothic style.

Plus, I will never be happy that Rory and Jess were robbed of endgame, even in the reboot.

these 2 30 years ago

I can’t get over how cute they were

**Crystal Clear** · 10-23-2020, 04:07 PM

^ I always loved when he told reporters "we've been married for years."

atwoodsmariano · 10-23-2020, 04:24 PM

same

sad it didn’t work out

**Crystal Clear** · 10-23-2020, 04:28 PM

Tim Burton said some pretty powerful things about their relationship. I remember him saying that Johnny didn't act like himself when he was with Kate Moss, and it was like he lost his soul when he lost Winona

atwoodsmariano · 10-23-2020, 05:40 PM

I watched an old interview from after the breakup and I could definitely hear/see the sadness

idk if you’ve heard about this but glad I’m not the only one who thought this

Yes I have!

Haven't seen it in years but I remember loving Christina Ricci and Winona playing sisters.

Also, cool that Ricci ended up playing Johnny's love interest in Sleepy Hollow
