We cannot imagine Stranger Things without Joyce Byers, played by Winona Ryder. She plays a fierce, strong and emotional mother in this Netflix series. Not to forget, she is one of the key characters in the supernatural drama which has kids playing the lead roles. Just like this, the talented actress has done some amazing work in the past.
When we talk about Winona Ryder, her wonderful filmography always comes to our head. In her career of almost 3 decades, the gorgeous actress has done some great work. Some of her noted works include Heathers, Girl, Interrupted, The Age of Innocence, Little Women, How To Make An American Quilt, The Iceman and the list goes on and on. But the Stranger Things actress made a shocking revelation that she was once told she looked “too Jewish” for a role in a period film.
In an interview with Sunday Times, Winona Ryder shared, “There are times when people have said, ‘Wait, you’re Jewish? But you’re so pretty!’ There was a movie that I was up for a long time ago, it was a period piece, and the studio head, who was Jewish, said I looked ‘too Jewish’ to be in a blue-blooded family.”

The actress also spoke about her Jewish heritage. The Stranger Things actress had lost family members to the Nazi regime back in the time. About the same, Winona said, “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.”
Meanwhile, all her fans are waiting to know what will happen next for Joyce Byers. In the last episode of Stranger Things 3, we got to see some romance spark between her character and Jim Hopper (played by David Harbour). The duo even planned to go on a date. Unfortunately, Jim Hoppers dies in a blast. But the teaser for the fourth season revealed that he’s still alive. Now that Joyce and her family have left the town of Hawkins, fans can’t wait to see how the story shapes up.
