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

Winona Ryder opted to stand by her iconic dark comedy "Heathers," and it ultimately cost her a gig starring alongside Matthew Broderick and Marlon Brando. Ryder has long been open that she decided to star in the 1989 dark comedy "Heathers" against warnings from her agents at the time.

Winona Ryder recalls how her work in the 1988 dark comedy film, Heathers, had impacted her career. Speaking to Elle UK, the actor reminisces about that phase in her career, and claims that she lost an opportunity to work with the legendary Marlon Brando in an ambitious film due to her association with the teenage dark comedy film.
