Winona Ryder Reveals Rejected Advances from Al Pacino at 22

Winona Ryder, known for her roles in Stranger Things and her 1990s film career, has candidly shared her past romantic experiences, including her unrequited love for veteran actor Al Pacino. In her early 20s, while working with Pacino on a Shakespeare workshop that led to the film Looking for Richard, Ryder confessed she was "absolutely in love" with him, but he gently rejected her advances. Despite the rejection, the two maintained a friendly relationship, occasionally playing poker together. Ryder also reflected on her high-profile past relationships, notably her engagement to Johnny Depp in the early 1990s, describing it as her first real heartbreak. Currently, Ryder is in a long-term relationship with fashion designer Scott Mackinlay Hahn. Her career remains active as the final season of Stranger Things approaches release.
