Winona Ryder has a confession: The dark-haired Generation X movie star is really a blonde.

Ryder tells Harper's Bazaar she started dying her hair blue and purple when she was 11 or 12.

"When I auditioned for (the movie) 'Lucas,' my hair was black and they wanted to keep it," she said in the magazine's August issue. Ryder appears in the forthcoming movie "Autumn in New York" opposite Richard Gere.
