Blind Items Revealed - Kindness

May 1, 2014

This former A list mostly movie actress has had a turbulent ride through Hollywood and is not even that old, but it feels as if she has been around forever. Her A list name recognition is the only thing that is keeping her in the B range. Her history and personal life have kind of hindered her ability to get parts. Despite all of that, she is practically bankrupting herself because of all the money she gives to two or three different charities and spends almost a thousand hours a year volunteering at them too.

Winona Ryder

  5. I've had to put my maths hat on - that's like 2 working days a week. Wow. Good on her.

  6. Aw Winona, I really like her acting style, I wish she would get more roles.
    If she is nuts, as has been reported, it's not bad that her craziness directs her towards philanthropy.

  13. I dont think so French Girl its only been up 5 weeks. There was another one similar with Britney Spears revealed but not the same one.

  14. This warms my heart. I love Winona.

  15. She could probably raise money for charities and not just spend her own, if she wasn't such a hot mess. People would probably be leery of anything collecting money she attaches her name too.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I still don't like her, but I'm glad she's doing something good with her dough

    ReplyDelete
  17. @talk why dont you like her? She seems harmless beside the robbing and shit lol

  18. At least she's doing something good out there. Wonder what charities she works on.

    1. Sherry -

      I went to google with your question, have we no answer. I didn't read that far, to be fair ;)

      BUT after the infamous shoplifting incident I did discover that Wino wanted to

      - auction the goods for charity (instead of burning then per the store's concept)
      - did her community service
      - did extra community service and kept working there, the judge got 'multiple calls from the centre'

      Wino Forever!

      Delete
    2. Sorry - I mean she kept working there after her time was up, and her trial.

      I reiterate: Wino Forever!

      Delete
  19. That's sweet. This should make people want to hire her. We all know they put up with crazy from plenty who are not as generous and not as loved by fans.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Lainey has been trying to make WannaRideHer happen for the longest time, but her ship has sailed.

    ReplyDelete
  21. She was treated very badly, punished for what most of them do all the time..

    ReplyDelete
  22. The question of the day is "who has serviced more singers, Winona or Giada?"

    ReplyDelete
  23. I'm not disrespecting her charitable efforts, but good gosh, when you have the sort of assets WR had, why couldn't a smart financial advisor set it up so the money works in ways that continuously grow and interest steadily flows into the fund rather than consciously take on bankruptcy?

    ReplyDelete
  24. I bet she's fine financially and has a simple lifestyle. I've loved her from the start but many blinds say she is a rude mega bitch.

    ReplyDelete
  25. jmo nope she's not realy.. she's living out of helen mirren's guesthouse. she own's nothing. she needs to start saving something for herself someday. if none of her friends helped her out then they won't help her out in the future.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I don't think WannaRideHer was "punished." She had many breaks and amazing directors, like Francis Copola, who put their necks out for her to get screwed over. She was the one who decided that bad boys, drugs, and not dealing with her issues was the way to play the game. She lost.

    ReplyDelete
  27. @sugarbreadmaker
    Hmm, that was a piece of cute press she put out. WannaRideHer owns a beautiful house in the Cow Hollow section of San Francisco. Do you know how expansive it is to own property in San Francisco? Don't believe the cute sound bites. Just look at this from 2010 real http://realestalker.blogspot.com/2010/10/winona-ryder-does-not-live-here-anymore.htmlestate.

  28. yeah she gave an interview last fall promoting homefront where she said she was relying on thr kindness of friends and living in hm and taylor hackfords guesthouse for free.
    she blew threw all her money. i know she wants to help the poor, but she is the poor.. snap out of it winona you need to invest in something stat

    ReplyDelete
  29. Winona has mad coin but she is generous. Generous and complicated. She s great--I have always loved her. Look at her film resume compared to the "A" listers like Sandra Bullocks. I cant name one Sandra Bullock movie I love but I can name 10 Winonas. We all can. She use to be a mega bitch though. Fame does that to people.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Lainey is a bitch that is OBSESSED with Winona---it is embarrassing actually. Heathers, Reality Bites, Edward Scissor Hands, Reality Bites, Girl Interuppted, Black Swan, Great Balls of Fire, Little Women-----can Charlize compare to that? nope. Will Shaielene Woodley ever? nope. Perhaps Portman and Kiki...

    ReplyDelete
  31. @Henriette---Say what? That's not the way to win the game? Finally somebody told me----off to Youth Group then!

    ReplyDelete
  32. @Sugarbread---she is living in Helen Mirrens guesthouse actually

    ReplyDelete
  33. that's exactly what my 2nd and 3rd comments said.. hm guesthouse

    ReplyDelete
  34. well how am I suppose to run my mouth off if I am reading other peoples comments? *jokes*. You must be a true fan like I...

    ReplyDelete
  35. She's also a two time Oscar nominee. In the span of a year she worked with Coppola and Scorsese. How many other actresses can claim that?

    ReplyDelete
  36. actually Chloe Moretz is building up herself a nice resume--and she has stated Winona is her favourite living actor/actress

    and lets not forget her face...She is honestly my fav. Sorry for fan girling.

    In a perfect world she would get a regular part on GIRLS

    I actually went to the youth ACT with WannaRideHer, so I'm well acquainted with her "poor me" big brown eye persona. Anyhoo, she is NOT living in Helen Mirren's guest house, but in a beautiful home in San Francisco. Many in these parts, the SF Bay Area, see her ALL the time.

    She "lost" the game by screwing over directors by being a flake.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Always adored her.

    ReplyDelete
  39. well people make mistakes. Didn't realize 20 something yr olds were perfect and never made bad decisions and let attention go to their head...its cool at @Henriette--I was just joking--

    ReplyDelete
  40. i gleefully remember the reveal about her screwing the bonesworth's director then fiance now hubby michael polish just to piss her off.
    that was really a kindness blind for the rest of us
    @derek you're forgiven

    ReplyDelete
  41. oh well well don't I feel special ; ) I am normal---90 percent of the time I swear lol

    ReplyDelete
  42. @derekharvey
    I speak from personal experience, she is a class a c*nt. Being a bitch would be a compliment for her. I'm glad Hollyweird continues to spurn her and will continually do so. She's just lucky she missed the Internet age by a few years.

    ReplyDelete
  43. @Henriette and I really do believe you. But don't you think her charitable work should be thought upon with respect. Especially since she is doing so under the radar these days? My friends aunt worked with her mom in Toronto---I cant say where etc but her mother is a true humanitarian

    ReplyDelete
  44. to be honest Henriette just sounds like your jealous *shrugs* and HWood will always welcome her with open-arms. So you can go watch your Michelle William movies now and move ON. The past is in the past people...

    ReplyDelete
  45. and ALSO Henriette I can get Winona over here to defend herself.

    ReplyDelete
  46. she figured out to use a computer btw

    ReplyDelete
  47. What is the charitable organization - Shoplifters Anonymous??

    ReplyDelete
  48. Always loved Winona. @ Henrietta, I have no doubt you had a bad experience/s with her but statements based on experiences from 30 odd years ago are pretty harsh and making out like she still behaves that way comes across as petty, incredibly bitchy and smacks of jealously.

  49. @Texas do not start with me about Texans rape---I am gonna go see Ringo---so I shall take my "my right meds" and mosey on down-------------------people shoplift ***big deal****

    ReplyDelete
  50. I love Winona...I won't hear a bad word! It must have been humiliating for her to have her personal issues so public...good on her for doing her volunteer work...that will balance the karma out. I don't care what anyone else says reality bites is one great movie. And she was enaged to johnny depp when he was actually cool and hot...hes still cool now i guess but you know...amber try as you may you and johnny are no nona and johnny or kate and johnny ... Those couplings were legendary...That reminds me I really need to get a Winona T-shirt!

  52. She was in the Star Trek movie for about 3 minutes, and I thought she gave a very memorable performance.
