Winona Ryder almost lost out on a role because she wasn't "pretty enough." The actress - who is regarded as one of the world's most beautiful women - underwent a dramatic makeover to convince movie bosses she was perfect to star in 1988 film "Heathers."
Talking about the movie, in which Winona plays a girl trying to join the popular group at school, said: "That was such as special movie for me, and still is. It was the first time I really went after a role. I'd really only done character roles up to that point, I'd never played a pretty girl.
