Donald Duck       Johnny Depp
Today  - The eternal “trickster” in Walt Disney’s pantheon of cartoon gods,  Donald Fauntleroy Duck was “born” 77 years ago today with the release of his first film The Wise Little Hen. During his 77 years, Donald’s semi-intelligible voice was provided by two men and a woman.  Disney is said to have created the pant-less Donald as a dark alter ego to offset the rodent saintliness of America’s beloved Mickey Mouse. In his celluloid life, Donald has played many rolls – from a Hitleresque Nazi to Noah’s first mate on the Ark.  A cartoon icon in northern Europe, Donald is Kalle Anke in Sweden, Anders And in Denmark and Aku Ankka in Finland where voters routinely support him as their favorite write-in candidate.

Birthday Boy – A 1978 drop-out from a Broward County High School in Miramar, John Christopher Depp was born 48 years ago today. During the first seven years of his turbulent life, Depp and his three siblings moved 20 times before settling in Miramar where his parents were finally divorced. As a troubled teen, Depp mutilated himself repeatedly  before leaving high school to play guitar in a garage band. Moving to Los Angeles to further his rock band career, Depp’s film career began in the 1984 production of the pioneering slasher film Nightmare on Elm Street where he became one of Freddie Krueger’s early victims. The rest, you might say, is a Google Feast, with Depp creating a parade of characters teetering on the edge in films ranging from the title role in Edward Scissorhands to Capt. Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Less known by Depp fans the film star’s bankrolling the cost of a giant cannon which fired the ashes of the late Gonzo journalist Hunter St. Thompson into the Colorado ether in 2005
