In 2001, Winona Ryder was arrested on shoplifting charges, she was accused of stealing $5000 dollars worth of designer clothes from Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills. This essentially got her blacklisted by Hollywood and she didn't really have a popular acting role until Stranger Things. Winona stood trial in 2002 and made several court appearances, in which she would always be dressed in stunning outfits. Her taste in fashion was so compelling that it earned her a campaign with one of the designers whose merchandise she stole.

"She may be a shoplifter, but she has impeccable taste," - Robin Givhan for the Washington Post.

If I were a man it wouldn’t frighten you! You’d think it was right for me to go out and get anything I could out of life, and use anything I had to get it. Why should men be so different? All they’ve got are their brains and they’re not afraid to use them. Well neither am I!

Joan Crawford as Marian Martin POSSESSED (1931), dir. Clarence Brown
