Winona Ryder is often described as one of the most successful and iconic actresses of the nineties. But before the Beetlejuice star got her big break, she endured her share of negative feedback and criticism. According to her, while auditioning for a film role, a film director stopped her in mid-sentence and told her, “’Listen, kid. You should not be an actress. You are not pretty enough. You should go back.” She didn’t get the role, but she refused to let the rebuff get her down and vowed to continue pursuing her dream.
