So we all know that Winona Ryder has been nominated for two Academy Awards. She also won a Golden Globe as well as a Screen Actors Guild Award. So what could possibly be wrong with Winona Ryder. Although she has been doing great on screen, off screen she has had a few problems with stealing and love life. Winona Ryder has been though many high profile relationships in Hollywood. At one point she was engaged to the actor Johnny Depp for over three years. One funny thing is that during this time Johnny Depp got a tattoo placed on this body that said Winona Forever. After they broke up he changed it to say Wino Forever. Of course, Winona Ryder did not stop there she also dated Matt Damon and Jimmy Fallon. However, in the end Winona Ryder still remains unmarried. Of course, her love life was not the hardest thing that Winona Ryder had to go through. On December 12, 2001 she was arrested for shoplifting. The amount she took was said to be worth more the 5,500 dollars. This has been a problem of Winona Ryder's for a long time. She has the money to buy this stuff, but she needs the thrill of shoplifting. She is not the only person that has a problem with this.
