And by then it should have it's own URL to paste here, but today I think it's only available on the frontpage/homepage of Answers.com) Spotlight: We tend to expect a lot of our favorite celebrities. We want them to act well on stage and screen and to behave properly in public. We want them to be good-looking, interesting and funny. We want to own pieces of them — a picture, a piece of clothing, a little-known piece of trivia. And we want them to love us back. One of the ways we measure that love is by how ready they are to be friendly to us, their fans. Autograph Collector Magazine gives a yearly ranking of the celebrities who are most generous with their signatures, and those who are the most reticent or downright unpleasant. Happy 45th birthday to Hollywood's Best Signer for the third straight year, Johnny Depp.

Originally Posted By FiveBearRugs I meant to add more...the top and worst 10 list really surprised me: Will Ferrell doesn't like signing for his fans?? And as for Johnny, Kira can vouch for him, lol...in fact, I'll have to get her in here.
Originally Posted By lesmisfan i can vouch for johnny! i was lucky enough to go to the red carpet portion of the premiere with my friend lila for pirates 2. He was really nice and taking time with his fans. He was nice enough not only to sign two things for myself and my friend but also took the time to pose for a picture with us. He is very awesome! and he also complemented me on a pirate necklace that I had bought at the ren faire. Nice!

And Johnny is, to me, Edward Scissorhands and Sweeney Todd, two characters who are understandably intimidating. Julie Andrews, on the other hand, if I saw her sitting down somewhere, I would probably be tempted to go up to her, sit down on her lap, and ask for a bedtime story. She *is* Mary Poppins and Fraulein Maria. It's weird that the ones I would be scared of are apparantly much more friendly than the one who wouldn't intimidate me at all.
Originally Posted By DJ7K Quite understandible However, in regards to what you said about Edward Scissorhands, there was a quote from him about that role on the little article/spotlight: Quote: "I loved playing Edward Scissorhands (1990) because there's nothing cynical, jaded or impure about him. It's almost a letdown to look in the mirror and realize I'm not Edward." — Johnny Depp
Originally Posted By christiemarsh88 Yeah, I read that and thought it was very cute. It would be nice to really be someone who had that sort of innocence. Eddie still creeps me out a little, though. I mean, he has scissors...for hands!!
Originally Posted By DJ7K Heheh, true! He could make a fortune I'm sure as a gardener or ice sculpture artist, which I think he does a little bit of in the movie. He probably doesn't fair to well in the Rock Paper Scissors game though.
Originally Posted By FiveBearRugs ^^^lmao... "Rock, paper, scissors...DAMMIT! Okay, 3 out of 5! Rock, paper, scissors...ARRRGH!" *takes out Movies that I Need to See in Their Entirety* 1. Edward Scissorhands 2. Pulp Fiction 3. The first two Terminators 4. Scarface 5. Star Wars Episode V 6+. To Be Announced...
Originally Posted By lesmisfan yeah i want those glasses! but i dont think they would look as good on me as they do with depp.
