One movie would have added another milestone in Winona Ryder's career in retrospect. The actor was offered the lead in a remake of Sabrina but she turned down that role.
Winona Ryder revealed she was offered to star in 1995's Sabrina but she declined it. In an interview with Esquire, she said she just wasn't into the prospect, despite her talent agency's protests. Directed by Sydney Pollack, Sabrina takes after the 1954 romantic comedy that starred cinema icons Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn, and William Holden. That film has since seen multiple adaptations including the 1995 remake. Ryder asserted she would have loved to work with Pollack, but she opted out knowing it was Audrey Hepburn's shoes she was going to fill; the role went to Julia Ormond. Ryder's decision might have been for the best in retrospect, since the Pollack version was ruthlessly compared to the original.
