Winona Ryder Says “No Resentment” Towards Angelina Jolie
Winona Ryder says she’s not resentful of Angelina Jolie for stealing the Girl,Interrupted spotlight.
“I knew from the outset that whoever played Lisa was going to get all the attention,” Ryder says in the July issue of Empire magazine.
Ryder served as the film’s executive producer and was offered the role that eventually earned Angelina an Oscar
“At one point they asked if I wanted to play Lisa and I said, ‘No, I want to be Susanna.’
“But there was no resentment,” Ryder adds. “When it came out, people almost felt bad for me. But I expected it all along. I was really happy with the film, and really proud of it.” What a lovely sentiment. Winona been through a great deal and has only just returned full force to the limelight.
I’ll admit that I’ve never actually seen the film that garnered Angelina so much critical acclaim. I wasn’t a big fan back then. In fact, I used to laugh at my friend Kelly because she as such a fan girl. My the times have changed. Enjoy the shots from the film and a few photos from the night Angelina won the Oscar. Gosh has it really been 10years?

You should definitely see this movie,KD!!!It’s one of my favorite movies(in general,not just Angie’s movies).
And I think Winona Ryder is right.Of course Angie was really great as Lisa(and sure deserve her Oscar) but whoever played that role was going to get all the attention!The character itself is really powerful!
Thanks for the news and the beautiful pics!

Thanks KD… I agree with stratoula, you have to see this film. I dont think at this point Winona would dare say anything bad about Angie.
