Although 'Heathers' (1988) is considered a cult classic, it was a career liability for star Winona Ryder after its release.

The two-time Oscar nominee lost out on the chance to work with the acting icon due to a controversial role earlier in her career.

In “Heathers,” Ryder played Veronica Sawyer, who is involved in her high school’s mean girl clique. She becomes romantically involved with JD Dean (Christian Slater), who goes on a revenge tour by killing his classmates and staging their deaths as suicides.
