Personal Quote:

I don't feel threatened like Julia Roberts. Pretty Woman turned her into an overnight celebrity rather than an actress. Now her whole career is about box- office - - if her movies don't break $l00-million. It's not a burden I'd ever want to carry. See more »

According to Francis Ford Coppola, much of the cast for Dracula was assembled as Winona's "dream cast". See more »
