10 Amazing Actresses Hollywood Don't Know What To Do With

4. Winona Ryder

Winona Ryder may be a convicted kleptomaniac and a kook, but they forgave RDJ, and now he's the highest paid actor on Earth. For Ryder, a two-time Oscar nominee that was regarded as an exciting, vibrant talent in her youth, thankless roles in films like Star Trek (which was a major critical and commercial success, but it gave Ryder nothing to do) and Homefront (a Jason Statham action vehicle? Come on!) is the best she can currently get. Only supporting roles in The Iceman, in which Ryder easily holds her own against the powerhouse that is Michael Shannon, and Black Swan, which finds the actress scarily parodying her lot as a faded former star, have given her much to do post-arrest. It's difficult to know whether the 2001 trial for shoplifting has been the sole reason for Ryder's fall from grace, or if it's her stubborn refusal to stay in her 20s forever that's seen the offers dry up, but she certainly has the acting skills to get back to where she once was.
