Strange Things star Winona Ryder has opened up about her experiences with anti-semitism in the film industry, claiming she was once overlooked for a role because the producer said she looked “too Jewish.”
Ryder made the comments in an interview with The Sunday Times, where she opened up about her Jewish heritage and her family’s experience of the Holocaust. “[I am] not religious, but I do identify,” she said of her Jewish heritage. “It’s a hard thing for me to talk about because I had family who died in the camps, so I’ve always been fascinated with that time.”
The 49-year-old was then asked whether she had ever been the victim of antisemitism.
