Quote

(When asked why is she always playing teenagers, during a press junket for Mermaids in 1990) "Like, I'm nineteen. What am I supposed to do, play a judge?!"
"I read biographies of the greats, and they were so messed up that I thought I'd better mess myself up. But I couldn't. I'm too small."
'For a long time I was almost ashamed of being an actress. I felt like it was a shallow occupation. People would be watching my every move.'(on Heathers (1989)) "It's a brilliant piece of literature, and I call it literature because it really is. I held it up next to 'Catcher in the Rye' and all the great books that I've read."

Biography from Leonard Maltin's Movie Encyclopedia: Raven-haired, mesmerizing young actress of considerable talent and range. The daughter of confirmed counterculture types (her godfather is Dr. Timothy Leary) who grew up on a California commune, Ryder performed on stage in small theaters as a preteen. Her fair skin, contrasted with dark, soulful eyes, made her a natural for sensitive teen types in Lucas (1986) and Square Dance (1987), but she really scored as the blackgarbed, death-obsessed daughter in Beetlejuice (1988), a high-profile hit comedy that opened doors for her. She was convincing as the child-bride cousin of Jerry Lee Lewis in Great Balls of Fire! a high-school conspirator in Heathers (both 1989), a small-town weirdo in Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael the longsuffering daughter of Cher in Mermaids and the sensitive blond girlfriend of Edward Scissorhands (all 1990). That nonstop work schedule caused her to bow out of The Godfather, Part III but her career picked up with the female lead in Francis Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), a project she brought to the director's attention. Martin Scorsese then chose her to play the deceptively docile fianc?e in The Age of Innocence (1993), for which she earned a Supporting Oscar nomination. She followed with The House of the Spirits (also 1993), then starred in Reality Bites and earned a Best Actress nomination for her enchanting work as Jo March in Little Women (both 1994), a pet project of hers.
