I know it has been beaten to death for years, but for those of our members who still like to collect all magazines, articles, etc. with news about Winona, the special People magazine - The Scandals that Rocked America - mentions Winona's shoplifting on page 72. ----- With some of the horrendous crimes listed in the magazine, it still annoys me that a magazine like People still considers Winona's crime, news to print. ----- The magazine will be on newsstands until March 19, 2010 for those of you who would like to read the magazine. ----- :) Rusty

What is your take on why Winona did it, Rusty?
Was it just boredom? The dare? Excitement?
Or was it something about drugs? I h eard that all her money was being controlled so she couldn't buy more drugs without ready cash. So she would shoplift and then sell the clothes for cash to buy drugs.
What about the needles, the prescripton drugs all in different names from different locations in her purse? Was that blown out of porportion?
I'm not trying to bad mouth Winona, I do enjoy her movies and think she's adorable. Just trying to understand what happened.
Reasons that Winona did it ???? It's anyones guess. ----- Maybe it is a combination of everything you said OddBALL. ----- The strangest thing Winona did after she was nabbed outside of Sak's and taken back into the store was to give five different reasons why she did it to to several people whiie being detained. ----- 1. "I thought my assistant paid for the items". said to Colleen Rainey and Ernie Amaya. ----- 2. "The director of "Shopgirl" told me to do it". said to Colleen Rainey. ----- 3. "I'm not working with stupid services" said to Shirley Warren. ----- 4. "I'm rehearsing for my part in "White Jazz" said to Colleen Rainey. ----- 5. "I stole the items as of a way of getting into character for a movie. I wanted to see how it felt to shoplift". said to Mark Parker. ----- Why would she do that at all, under the influence of drugs or not, which just leads to more questions to an ancient crime that should be forgotten, but the tabloids still beat it to death, Afterall her felonies were dropped to misdemeanors, a few years later which just makes the whole incident something less serious than the other crimes commited which were printed in the copy of People "Scandals That Rocked America" ----- Rusty

...Better than being known as "hit-and-run Hallie (Berry)" and more likeable too. ;-)
It's interesting that you and I can recall Halle Berry's felony hit and run accident at about the same time that Winona was arrested for shoplifting. D. Stussy. But People magazine doesn't even mention the hit and run in the issue of "Scandals that Rocked America" ??? ---- A felony hit and run accident is very much more serious than shoplifting. But what do I know. People magazine called the shots on their recent issue about how serious crimes were in the magazine. ----- :) Rusty

I personally love that Winona is a counter-culture, well read, gorgeous, insomniac, psychiatric head case, drug-addicted, serial monogamous, rock-star groupie. As Paris Hilton might say, "That's hot."
I don't care that her "scandal" is mentioned in rags like People Mag ad nauseam. I don't care if her "crime" is so minor that it doesn't bare comparison with the Berrys and Grayhearts of the world. Every reminder of that episode in her life is welcome. Frankly, that episode was a huge turn-on. Almost as much as watching her smooch Jennifer Aniston. At the time, I remember hating the DA for turning the screws on her, especially after her Polly Klaas efforts and $200K reward offer. She should have gotten amnesty just for that, but hey, if you don't want to do the time, don't do the crime, eh?
