essay by lizzy4depp
by lizzy4depp
We are sure most of you know by now that Johnny and Tim Burtons new movie, Sweeney Todd is getting ready to premiere next month. Among all the excitement, we thought that a lot of you would be interested in learning a little about the story of Sweeney Todd and some of the planning that has preceded the opening of this original endeavor that Johnny has chosen to partake in.
The story of Sweeney Todd is legendary among those in London and holds a kind of mystery not unlike Jack the Ripper. The actual Sweeney was born in London’s East End in October of 1756. He was arrested and served a five-year prison term when he was wrongly accused of stealing a pocket watch. He gained his barber skills in prison when he learned the trade from another barber named Plummer. After he was released he took a few pounds he had stolen in prison and set up his shop next to the St. Dustan’s Church. Sweeney’s shop stood right down the street from his longtime girlfriend Margery Lovett’s bar where she made her famous meat pies. The first murder happened right on the streets of London, where a man was seen arguing with a barber. The barber was seen to take out his white coat; he slit the other man’s throat with a barber’s blade and ran off into the fog. The story of Sweeney’s shop tells of customers who would go for a barber visit and never return.
two new staffers!!!
Happily we have to announce, that we added two new members to the JDorg staff.
1. as Conny could not manage the galleries/magazines section anymore, Jenna will do her job in the future. Jenna already donated many screencaps to the site before and is active member in the forums. I’m sure, she will do a great job.
2. lizzy4depp has joined us to bring us lots of info. She’ll write for JDorg in the future. That’s what we always needed: someone bringing this site content, and we’ve found such a talented person.
As a stand-in-present, lizzy4depp already brought us some stuff, which you can read:
– she re-wrote the first part of the biography, which will become longer and longer now. The following years are in work.
– she wrote an essay about the history of Sweeney Todd, which is absolutely informative and should be read!
– and an essay about Johnny himself
Magazines staffer needed!
Sadly, we have to annouce, that Conny, who has handled the Magazines section at Johnny-Depp.org since the site exists,
has come into big personal trouble and has to take a longer break from doing the galleries/magazines.
So I am looking for someone who would like to take over the section.
//EDIT: found one! Will announce it soon.

Besides this, we received two emails asking us for help, which I shortly want to post here:
1. the Luke Neuhedel Foundation, a 501c3 charity dedicated to providing aid to children fighting cancer, is holding an online auction November 3-11 at www.lukefund.org, where also some Johnny Depp autographs are sold.
2. Australian fans made a petition, because they want Johnny also to make a TV or other public appearance when he is in Australia for shooting Shantaram: Sign here!.
emailing us
This is not an update, just a reminder:
we get plenty emails through the contact forms (and also through the comment function) with questions to us. We take the time answering them, click send, and what happens? The email bounces back.
So – if you write us with not just a comment but with a question – you need to give us your REAL WORKING email address or we cannot answer you!
Also, if we answer you, the email might land in your spam box, or we had problems when our emails were simply blocked.
If you’re uncertain, how to get a good email account, we consider using googlemail, which is what the johnny-depp.org emails are run by, too.
If you have problems contacting us through the Johnny-Depp.org emails:
1. make sure, you have the dash in the johnny-depp.org when writing to f.e. admin (at) johnny-depp.org
2. use the contact form instead, with giving a working email address of yours
3. if you still have problems, whyever, you can also write me through martina (at) inspirationally.org or – if that doesn’t help – m.bar (at) tiscalinet.de – I don’t use these emails that often, so please only if nothing else helps.
Thanks!
