Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder

For Johnny Depp, laying eyes on Winona Ryder was love at first sight during the premiere of Great Balls of Fire! in New York City back in 1989. The pair caught a glance at each other while Winona was getting a Coke. Johnny poetically described the first time he laid eyes on the 17-year-old Ryder, “a classic glance,” movie fan Depp then added “the zoom lenses in West Side Story, and everything else gets foggy.”

The two were formally introduced months later through a mutual friend in an arranged meeting at the Chateau Marmont. Five months into their relationship, the smitten Depp proposed to Ryder. The couple split in the summer of 1993, with the couple’s representative saying they were too young and simply grew apart. Ending on a sweet note after the breakup, Winona gave credit to Johnny for being her first “everything.”
