Of his time playing the evil Dr Brenner, Modine said, "It made me sick to my stomach, especially during the scene when I tortured him [Venca] for having harmed Eleven. It was very upsetting. It makes me sick to my stomach. I have a hard time separating, and I don’t like it."
Winona Ryder

/granite-web-prod/83/a4/83a4bc7b850f4181be56a5324d2ce3a7.jpeg)
If "Stranger Things" had been a series 30 years ago, there's a very good chance Winona Ryder would have had something to do with it then — except she would have been one of the teens at Hawkins High.
Ryder's career actually began in the '80s. Her first film role was in the 1986 film "Lucas." Two years later, she became a household name after starring in "Beetlejuice" opposite Michael Keaton and "Heathers" opposite Christian Slater.
After that, Ryder was the "It" girl of 1990s and starred in hits such as "Edward Scissorhands," "Reality Bites," "Dracula," "The Age of Innocence" and "Girl Interrupted," among others.
As well as "Stranger Things," Ryder stars in "Gone in the Night," a sci-fi thriller released in July 2022.
