# Talk:Winona Ryder

She has been accused of sexually abusing Haley Joel Osment in 1999.

She claims this along with a fictional 4.0 GPA, but as a member of the class of 1989, I can tell you she dropped out of our school several years before we graduated. There are newspaper articles with a list of class graduates from June 1989 and she is not listed. I know she claims this herself, but it is not true and is not supported by any independent evidence. I don't know why this continues to be allowed to stay in the article. Here's the top students that year whose GPA was above and below the one she claimed: https://cdnc.ucr.edu/?a=d&d=PAC19890527.1.13&srpos=1&e=------198-en--20-PAC-1--txt-txIN-Lisa+Ricci----1989---
Here is a full list of graduates of the class of 1989. Winona Ryder is not among them: https://cdnc.ucr.edu/?a=d&d=PAC19890527.1.13&srpos=2&e=------198-en--20-PAC-1--txt-txIN-Erik+Tellander----1989---
Therefore, I am removing this false claim from the article.
And now someone added a reference that she was bullied in high school and that people called her a witch? Not true. But of course this is just another part of her self-created myth about her childhood.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.203.107.191 (talk) 21:56, 4 July 2025 (UTC) 

There’s nothing mentioned in the Wikipedia article about her mother’s ethnicity other than American. Why not? M555333555M555333555M  (talk) 23:40, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

Judaism usually focused on the mother, unless its Reform Judaism. So, I find it strange that all the emphasis is on her father’s ancestry but nothing about her mother other than the surname, which is also not explained in the Wikipedia article.

Yeah it's strange. Only her father's ancestry is mentioned. Her mother was non-Jewish. She as much non-Jewish as Jewish. Therefore, at least include her proper descent in the bottom-tags. 128.62.67.154 (talk) 20:10, 6 October 2025 (UTC)
If you have any suggestions for improving the early life section, please let us know what should be changed and provide the necessary sources to support this change. Mellk (talk) 05:58, 7 October 2025 (UTC)
I think Winona Ryder’s Jewish, I was just wondering why the info was only one-sided, that’s all. M555333555M555333555M  (talk) 16:51, 7 October 2025 (UTC)
The cited sources refer to her father's side. If you can find sources that elaborate on her mother's background, feel free to mention them. Mellk (talk) 16:53, 7 October 2025 (UTC)
 Done. Sundayclose (talk) 17:32, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

In one section it’s “Urie”— later it’s “Uri” 104.35.7.213 (talk) 03:09, 25 June 2025 (UTC)

"Ryder met Johnny Depp at the Great Balls of Fire! premiere in June 1989. In February 1990, the 18-year-old Ryder began dating the 26-year-old Depp after they were reintroduced by a mutual friend. They became engaged in July of that year, but split up in June 1993." the assertion that depp waited until she was 18 is not supported by either of the linked sources 130.180.88.101 (talk) 14:52, 19 July 2025 (UTC)

Do the math using her date of birth. It's not complicated. Sundayclose (talk) 17:26, 19 July 2025 (UTC)
if the sources supported that they waited until february 1990, then they would also support that ryder was 18, sure. but since they don't, they don't. 130.180.88.101 (talk) 14:59, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

Do you have a reliable source that actually says that? The article currently mentions several movies she was in that were directed by Burton, and that she "has credited her career to director Tim Burton", but that's not the same as claiming that she is "known for her collaborations with Tim Burton". She has an extensive filmography, much of which did not involve Burton. Meters (talk) 00:03, 30 July 2025 (UTC)
