Winona Ryder says she was once told she looked “too Jewish” for a movie role.
The actor, who is Jewish, was asked during an interview with The Sunday Times if she has ever experienced anti-semitism.
Speaking about her Jewish heritage, Ryder described herself as “not religious, but I do identify”.
“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.”
