Johnny Depp

 Depp was gifted a guitar by his mother when he was 12 years old, and began playing in various bands. He dropped out of mirammer high school aged 16 in 1979 to become a rock musician. He attempted to go back to school two weeks later, but the principal told him to follow his dream of being a musician. In 1980, Depp began playing guitar in a band called The Kids. After modest local success in Florida, the band moved to Los Angeles in pursuit of a record deal, changing their name to Six Gun Method. In addition to the band, Depp worked a variety of odd jobs, such as in telemarketing. In December 1983, Depp married make-up artist Lori Anne Allison, the sister of his band's bassist and singer. The Kids split up before signing a record deal in 1984, and Depp subsequently began collaborating with the band rock city angles. He co-wrote their song "Mary", which appeared on their debut geffen records album Young Man's Blues. Depp and Allison divorced in 1985.
