Winona: 3. Feeling 22

Actor and podcaster Maisie Williams presents the next chapter in the Winona Ryder story.

Winona’s at an age that Taylor Swift described as “happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time". And as the pressures of success pile on, she’ll experience all those emotions with a new intensity.

When she drops out of a huge movie due to burnout, the tabloids have a field day. Add that to a high-profile break-up, and a society with an unforgiving attitude to mental health, and you’ve got a recipe for a bad time.

But even when she’s down, Winona’s never beaten. She’s on the cusp of some of her most important, generation-defining work. And nobody’s going to take that away from her.
