Stranger Things

Winona Ryder has seen a career renaissance thanks to Netflix’s “Stranger Things.”

“The reaction has been completely overwhelming, in the best possible way,” Ryder said of the thriller, which is her first TV series.

Ryder has been a household name for most of the past 30 years, thanks to roles in late-’80s hits such as “Beetlejuice,” “Heathers” and “Edward Scissorhands.” Her film debut came at age 14 in 1986’s “Lucas.”

The star, whose career took a tumble after a 2001 shoplifting arrest, has returned this summer with one of her biggest hits in years. The Netflix thriller centers on a young boy who mysteriously disappears in 1980s suburban America.
