The stunning Winona Ryder is one of those actresses that seems to defy time with her ageless looks over the years. Born Winona Laura Horowitz on October 29, 1971, she barely looks like her mid-40s self. If you were to put a recent picture side by side with this picture, it would be very hard to tell just how many years have passed since this early headshot of her was snapped!
Children of the 80s and 90s will recognize Ryder from her roles in Tim Burton's "Beetlejuice" (1988) and "Edward Scissorhands" (1990) where she starred alongside Johnny Depp. While her much-publicized 2001 arrest for shoplifting at a Saks Fifth Avenue store in Beverly Hills is the subject of much tabloid fanfare, it's good to see that her time away from the spotlight in the early-2000s has done her good and that she's kept out of trouble over the last decade.

One of the cities featured in Booking.com’s travel trends for 2020, Urugay’s capital Montevideo is a stable and LGBT-friendly destination to visit in South America—a continent that’s seen dips in tourism of late thanks to political instability in travel destinations like Brazil, Chile, and Argentina. Travelers identified the city as a trending travel destination for anyone seeking an immersive, one-stop escape; according to the study, “over half (54 percent) of global travelers say they want to go on one long trip to a place that has all of their favorite activities and sights close together.” Montevideo’s offerings include beaches, nightlife, markets, theaters, culinary prowess, and festive Gay Pride Day celebrations in September.
