She was named after the nearby city of Winona.
When Ryder was seven years old, she and her family relocated to Rainbow, a commune near California, where they lived with seven other families on a 1.2 km² plot of land. As the remote property had no electricity or television sets. She began to devote her time to reading. Although there was no electricity her mother began to run an old movie theater in a nearby barn and would screen movies all day. She allowed Winona to miss school to watch movies with her. Winona suffers from insomnia and from aquaphobia due to a trauma she received when she nearly drowned at the age of 12. This caused problems when she had to act in some of the underwater scenes in Alien and the scenes had to be reshot numerous times.
Winona had one date with Rhett Miller and he wrote the song Rollerskate Skinny about her.
