About
the Book:
The truth behind Johnny Depp's bad-boy image in this
definitive biography.
Accidental actor? Bratty bad boy? Consummate craftsman? Take a
little of each, and a whole lot more, and you've got Johnny Depp.
Delectably dreamy, dramatically dynamic, and Depp-endably dedicated,
this actor is one of Hollywood's most popular leading men. Taking
Johnny Depp fans on a wild ride, this book chronicles the
actor's ups and downs, pinnacles and depths. Explored are Depp's
turbulent childhood in Kentucky, his leap into the limelight on TV's
21 Jump Street,
and, finally, his extraordinary success in some of his generation's
best films. From Edward
Scissorhands and What's
Eating Gilbert Grape? to Donnie
Brasco, Ed Wood,
and Fear and Loathing in Las
Vegas, no other actor his age has such an incredibly
diverse resume.
Exploring his roles in these films and his relationships with
their directors, this compelling book also provides the details of
Depp's personal life – from his young marriage, through his years
as tattooed Winona Ryder escort and as Kate Moss' paramour to his
status as proud Parisian papa and Vanessa Paradis' lover.
Scrutinizing Johnny's shifts as media darling and tabloid target and
sifting the truth from the trash in what's been said about him, Depp
is the definitive biography of one of this generation's most
important, most impassioned, and most independent stars.
