Winona Ryder's Secret Scorsese Note Revealed

Winona Ryder recently recalled a profound directorial note from Martin Scorsese during the filming of the 1993 drama, The Age of Innocence. Scorsese discreetly provided Ryder with a handwritten message that read, 'Kiss him twice,' which she found to be an invaluable piece of guidance.

This specific instruction, given during a scene where Ryder's character, May Welland, confronts Newland Archer (Daniel Day-Lewis), transformed the emotional weight of their interaction. Ryder interpreted the note as a definitive statement, asserting control and finality to the scene, which she felt added immense depth to her performance.
