That said, she already has regained star-status with the success of Stranger Things. It makes you wonder how much the starlet is worth.

Her first film role was in Lucas, but roles like in Mermaids, Heathers, and The Crucible, as well as the aforementioned Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands, helped to make her a household name. In 2000, she was rewarded with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

In late 2001, Ryder had been arrested on charges of shoplifting in Beverly Hill, eventually leading to a conviction of grand theft, shoplifting, and vandalism, with felony charges that were later reduced to misdemeanors, back in 2004. During this time, she took a hiatus from her acting career. While having film roles throughout the 2000’s, her biggest break since the incident was arguably 2010’s Black Swan.

In a way, Ryder has recrafted the gothic image she made for herself in the 90’s, with a role in 2012’s Frankenweenie, directed by Tim Burton, and playing Joyce Byers in Strangers Things.
