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

Winona Ryder says that producers dropped her from a movie with Marlon Brando after they saw 'Heathers,' which they thought was making fun of teen suicide.

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.
