NuVein Magazine’s January issue has an extraordinary article about make-up artist Ve Neill called The Many Faces of Fantasy written by Scott Essman. Neill, who specializes in prosthetic makeups and unique character and beauty makeups, has been doing landmark makeup for films such as The Lost Boys, Beetlejuice, Dick Tracy, Ed Wood, Batman Forever, Cobb, Edward Scissorhands, Batman Returns, and Mrs. Doubtfire for over 20 years and has won 3 Academy Awards (Beetlejuice, Ed Wood, & Mrs. Doubtfire).

In a short excerpt from the article, here’s what Ve Neill had so say about working with Johnny on the film Edward Scissorhands…

“I think Johnny Depp really had a great deal to do with bringing that character to life. He really brought some heart and soul to it. It could have been on anybody and somebody else might have done it completely differently, but he was really great in that role. Even though Johnny spoke very little, he could really sell that empathetic character. It was really neat project to work on. Ultimately, Tim Burton designed the character, so Stan Winston and I just brought it to life. Stan had designed the makeup and I remember the first test we did. I think we basically used the forehead piece that was designed and then he had sheets of different types of scars. I just started putting scars into different areas. We just moved scars around and then of course there was the one that went through his lip which I actually put on with scar material,

Johnny Depp: “I don’t watch my films. Last year in France Ed Wood came on television and it was dubbed in French and it was so surreal. So I watched about 10 minutes of it and that’s all. Then another time Gilbert Grape came on. I saw the opening credits and then the opening scene – and then I started to hyperventilate and I just shut the TV off and walked away. I figured that once I’m wrapped on a film, once my job is done, then anything beyond that is none of my business.”

When Johnny was immortalized for all time last September at the Hollywood Walk of Fame at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard by placing his hands and feet in wet cement he wore a very special bracelet that day. It belonged to a young boy, Dustin, who was dying of cancer but who had dreams of becoming an actor. Through the Children’s Hospice and Palliative Care Coalition, he met Screen Actors Guild Director and actress Melissa Gilbert who gave Dustin an honorary SAG card 2 weeks before he died.

“I am honored to be associated with brave little Dustin by wearing this bracelet,” Depp commented shortly after the ceremony.

Gilbert says, “Now, as a member of the Board of Directors and spokesperson on behalf of this incredible organization, I have taken on the charge of getting the Children’s Hospice bracelets on the wrists of my celebrity friends… and YOU. 100% of the proceeds go directly to Children’s Hospice, so by buying a bracelet you are making an immediate and tangible difference.”

The January 2006 issue of Vogue Magazine ( U.S. ed.) has a full page review of Johnny’s new movie that everyone is talking about The Libertine. (Sienna Miller is on the cover of the January issue and the Libertine article is on page 80.) Here is a short excerpt from the article:

“What saves this from being a grim morality play is Depp, a dazzling chameleon whose sole flaw is that he hides himself so far inside his characters that we don’t feel the humanity within. Wilmot’s cynical detachment clearly speaks to something deep in this superb actor, inspiring his most expansive work since his larky turn as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean. With his long, wavy tresses and frilly garb, Depp’s Wilmot may look every inch a man of the past, but his disillusionment feels utterly modern. He’s a Restoration pop idol bored with his own power to thrill.”
