Book Description
Depp takes fans on a wild ride through Johnny's life, its ups and its downs, its pinnacles and its 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. Edward Scissorhands, What's Eating Gilbert Grape?, Donnie Brasco, Ed Wood, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas-no other actor his age has such an incredibly diverse resume. Depp explores his roles in these films and his relationships with their directors. Also provided as context are the details of Depp's personal life-from his young marriage, through his years as tattooed Winona Ryder escort and as Kate Moss's paramour to his current 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.
