Winona Ryder Isn’t Pretty Enough

Winona Ryder was too ugly to be an actress. According to her.

I was in the middle of auditioning, and I was mid-sentence when the casting director said, ‘Listen, kid. You should not be an actress. You are not pretty enough.

This is a new take on the bullshit model line about being the ugly duckling in high school. Bullshit both because it wasn’t true and also because they didn’t really go to high school. Neither did Winona Ryder. But she persevered despite being only pretty good looking and made her mark in Hollywood. A real triumph of the human spirit.

Here’s Winona Ryder in Interview magazine. The guy who took the pictures probably told her she wasn’t pretty enough to be in Interview magazine, but, nothing can stop this only average good looking woman.
