Winona Ryder - Winona Ryder Tried To Be Normal

Winona Ryder Tried To Be Normal

Winona Ryder tried to rebel against her free spirited parents by being normal.

The 'Black Swan' actress moved to Rainbow, a hippie commune in California with her parents Cynthia Palmer and Michael Horowitz when she was seven years old but admitted she wasn't entirely happy with the lifestyle.

She said: "I went through this stage where I was really square. We lived on this commune, and there was this beautiful waterfall. And there'd be a lot of kids that were naked. But I was in a bathing suit."

Winona has admitted to having a "semi breakdown" in her twenties but the actress thinks accessing her inner emotions when she was preparing for tough roles could have been partly responsible for it.

She said: "I think, yeah, there's a lot of danger in that. And I think that made me freak out a little bit. I think I was playing with fire there, for a while. I did, definitely, but I also loved it."
