TORONTO – Philadelphia Daily – Howard Gensler – Here at the Toronto International Film Festival, the paparazzi have been typically rude -although on better behavior than normal; foreign press and junketeers have been typically fawning – doing interviews then asking for autographs; the TV folk have been much better looking than the print journalists; the directors and screenwriters have been earnest, amusing and intelligent; and the stars have been shockingly cooperative and polite.
Johnny Depp, perhaps the biggest star in the world after “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” was spotted signing autographs and joking with a group of children – a far cry from the moody, whack job the tabs often make him out to be.
