Thirty-six years after Winona Ryder portrayed Lydia Deetz in the ultra-zany 1988 movie Beetlejuice, she is back for the upcoming Tim Burton sequel, in which she is expected to reprise her role.
For the first time in decades, images of Ryder wearing Lydia’s signature fringed jet-black wig and matching black clothing emerged while she was sitting in the passenger’s seat of a Tesla while filming a scene for the project.
