Winona Ryder might be best known to younger audiences of today for her part in 'Stranger Things,' but for her older fans, it's strange to see her playing a mother. She was always the cool-but-awkward teenager in the films of the late 1980s and early 1990s, with a girl-next-door vibe to her. She played similar roles in a lot of films, but the one that spoke the most to teenagers of the era was probably 'Heathers.' It's something of a cult film, but if you've seen it, you'll have vivid memories of Ryder playing 'Veronica.'
As a gifted character actress, Ryder always disappears inside the parts she plays, so in our minds, she and Veronica are one of the same. That makes it hard to imagine anyone else in the role, but if you can, try to picture Jennifer Connelly there instead. Not only was she the first choice for the part, but writer Daniel Walters had her specifically in mind when he wrote it.

Perhaps the most well-known celebrity that loves Lake Como is George Clooney. He has a villa with over a dozen rooms here so he can bring all his friends along to relax, get away, and party. Villa d’Este is another popular place celebrities choose to stay because of its attention to privacy. Just ask Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bette Midler, or Sylvester Stallone!
Sure, there are plenty of celebrities that call Sydney home year-around, but there are lots of others who like to visit for a surfing and sailing getaway. Sydney’s Bondi Beach has been a top vacation pick for Leonardo DiCaprio and Hugh Jackman, and some A-list accommodations are the InterContinental Hotel and the Park Hyatt in the Rocks.
