Did you know?!

  1. A role that slipped away

    Winstead was offered a part in A Cinderella Story, but she declined it because she had just finished school and had a cruise planned with friends.

  2. Own stunts

    Winstead co-starred with Michael Cera in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, directed by Edgar Wright. She played Ramona Flowers, a mysterious delivery girl, and trained for two months in fight work, doing most of her own stunts.

  3. Beyond film

    Winstead was in Death Proof in 2007, and Tarantino had her sing The Shirelles' "Baby It's You" a cappella. The request came with no warning, and the cast were reportedly "gob-smacked" by her singing.

  4. Beyond film

    Winstead told Complex magazine for the June/July 2012 issue that she and Dan the Automator were making a music album together. The next year they formed Got a Girl and put out the demo "You & Me" on May 21, 2013.
