In the Liberal Stronghold: Most of the world knows Winona Ryder as Winona Rider, but her real name - Winona Horowitz, reveals her Jewish origins, which often hit her in Hollywood, which is considered the American liberation stronghold.

In an interview published Sunday (Sunday) in the British Sunday Times, the actress told the movie star "Edward's Scissors", BeatleJos and the series "Strange Things" and "The conspiracy against America" ​​about the anti-Semitic remarks made about her and the roles she lost due to her origins. "Before, there was a movie I was supposed to be attending, period drama," Ryder revealed, adding, "The studio head - who was Jewish himself, said I looked 'too Jewish' to be part of a family with blue blood." 

Another case Raider said happened in 1995, when director and actor Mel Gibson, who had previously expressed anti-Semitism and refused to condemn his father who is a Christian member accusing the Jews of killing Jesus, asked her "the stove evaporator?" Referring to the Holocaust.

Ryder defines herself as Jewish, though not religious, and said in an interview that, for her, "Judaism is the same." The actress commented on Gibson's comment: "It was difficult for me to talk about the issue because I had a family murdered in the camps."

Ryder also told how the anti-Semitism she experienced sometimes sounded in the compliments she had received in the past: "There were times when people asked me, 'Wait, are you Jewish? But you are so beautiful.'"
