Her next starring role was in How to Make an American Quilt (1995). This film was followed by Boys, (1996), a film in which self seems to be pitted against the whole world, with love her only true friend and guide. The movie also considered the credibility of different interpretations of reality, a theme she later explored in Lost Souls.

2001-2005

On December 12, 2001, Ryder was arrested for shoplifting thousands of dollars’ worth of designer clothes and accessories at Saks Fifth Avenue department store in Beverly Hills, California. Los Angeles District Attorney Stephen Cooley set up a team of eight prosecutors and seized the opportunity to prosecute the actress aggressively. He filed four felony charges against her in what was described by The Guardian (UK) as a show-trial since the prosecution demanded the trial be televised. Ryder hired noted defense attorney Mark Geragos.

The charges were eventually reviewed, and on June 18, 2004 the felonies were reduced to misdemeanors.

After a two-year hiatus, she returned to the big screen in the Adam Sandler comedy Mr. Deeds.

Then, she produced and narrated the child sex slave trade documentary The Day My God Died (2003) before returning to fiction in a small part in Asia Argento’s The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things (2004).

Second, Ryder is reuniting with Daniel Waters, who wrote Heathers, for the surreal dark comedy Sex and Death 101 (2007). Filming wrapped July 6, 2006, and is set for release in early mid-Spring 2007.

Winona’s future is anybody’s guess. One thing is clear: Winona would probably prefer to stay out of the headlines. I feel there’s a tendency towards over-exposure,” she said. “I know there are some actors that I don’t want to see for a while, and I don’t want to become one of them myself.
