Party for Johnny

Shown here in his Pirates of the Caribbean getup — for no other reason than I find him irresistable like this — Johnny Depp is the brooding actor with a big heart.

Not wildly famous for his charity work, the father of two has quietly crusaded for children’s hospices and given his time to inspire and encourage sick children. He even won an award for his efforts last year.

“Johnny Depp embodies the very spirit of the `Courage to Care’ Award because he puts smiles on the faces of thousands of children through his great work on film, and his longtime private advocacy of children and children’s charities is nothing short of inspirational,” says Ms. Fernandez-Farrand, a member of the Childrens Hospital Los Angeles Board of Trustees.

His fans certainly find him inspirational, and on November 10th, his philanthropic fan club, Johnny’s Angels, are holding a fundraising party for the Children’s Hospice Coalition in New York.
