Winona Ryder In 2001, Winona Ryder starred on a security video showing her flitting around Saks Fifth Avenue in Wilshire Boulevard. “The best beloved of all things in my sight is justice,” says the sign on the inside of the main Beverly Hills court building, but it has been hard to keep sight of it over the last couple of weeks. Ryder was arrested … and accused of having stolen 20 items worth about $10,000 from the store. She was convicted of grand theft and vandalism… The first witness suggested that Ryder had told him that she was just rehearsing, on a director’s advice, for the part of a shoplifter in a film. This prompted one commentator, Steve Lopez, to write that “we should count our lucky stars Ryder doesn’t play a serial killer in this movie she’s preparing for, whatever it might be”.
