Actress Winona Ryder paid tribute to her favorite director Tim Burton at his hand and footprint ceremony at TLC Theater in Hollywood.
The 44-year old actress introduced Burton and thanked him for giving her career a start back in the day with fantasy film Beetlejuice. Ryder would go on to star in Burton’s Edward Scissorhands and Frankenweenie.
According to ABC7, Ryder said: ‘Tim understands the human heart in a way I have never seen certainly on screen. He knows the pain of the misunderstood, of the odd and even of the mad. He celebrates them in a way that is both totally unique, so very, very tender, sometimes terrifying and very often hilarious.’
The award winning director’s resume includes Batman, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber, Sleepy Hollow, Alice in Wonderland, Ed Wood, and Pee Wee’s Big Adventure among many others.
