Diminutive Winona Ryder, with her innocent brown eyes, may have one of the summer’s most dicey roles - playing Jerry Lee Lewis’ 13-year-old cousin and bride. Even though she’s all of 17, she worried about her love-making scenes with 34-year-old leading man Dennis Quaid.
“I look about 11 years old,” she says. “My hair’s back in a ponytail and I’m wearing these little Peter Pan-collar things. I was really concerned that people were going to see it and go, ‘This is so perverted - 34 and 17.’

Riding shotgun, Winona Ryder kicked up her feet on the dashboard and pumped up the volume on KROQ-FM, ebulliently crooning to the Dead Milkmen’s “Punk Rock Girl.” It was time for her favorite pursuit - exploring abandoned houses.

Winona Ryder is doing something totally illegal. The sunny, dark-haired actress is blithelt motoring around Los Angeles in her friend’s rental car — and, at age seventeen, she’s too young to drive it. It’s early March, only three weeks since Ryder moved out of her parents’ house in Petaluma, California, and her own car is still up there, along with her collages, her bible — The Catcher in the Rye — her vast collection of handbags, socks, charm bracelets, Barbie dolls, Twilight Zone and Monty Python tapes. Oh, and the screenplay she wrote and sold. So just by driving to the mall, she’s flirting with danger.
