The Winona Effect
An under-researched phenomenon in which someone instantly, and increasingly, becomes infatuated with actress Winona Ryder. There is no one demographic this happens to, as many people of different ages, races, genders, sexualities, and nationalities have experienced this. The only thing they have in common is that they watched a movie or show starring Winona and fell in love.
