An American actor, producer and musician John Christopher "Johnny" Depp II was born on 9 June, 1963 in Owensboro, Kentucky. He’s the son of John Christopher Depp, a civil engineer, and his wife, the former Betty Sue Wells, a waitress. He has one brother, Daniel, who is a novelist, and two sisters, Christie (now his personal manager) and Debbie.

He was given a guitar from his father for his twelfth birthday. Depp began playing in various bands. A year after his parents' divorce, Depp dropped out of high school to become a rock musician

On December 24, 1983, Depp married Lori Anne Allison, the sister of his band's bass player and singer. His wife introduced him to actor Nicolas Cage, who advised Depp to pursue an acting career. Depp and his wife divorced in 1985.

Depp's first major role was in the 1984 classic horror film A Nightmare on Elm Street.

I n 2003 the Walt Disney Pictures film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl was a major success, in which Depp's performance as the suave but shambling pirate Captain Jack Sparrow was highly praised. His character became popular with the movie-going public. He returned to the role of Jack Sparrow for the sequel Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, which opened on 7 July 2006 and grossed $135.5 million in the first three days of its U.S. release, breaking a box office record of the highest weekend tally. The next sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean, At World's End, was released on May 2007. Depp has said that Sparrow is "definitely a big part of me", and he wants to play the role in further sequels.

He has won the Golden Globe Award and Screen Actors Guild award for Best Actor. He has collaborated with director and friend Tim Burton in seven films, most recently with Alice in Wonderland (2010). He has been nominated for top awards many times, winning the Best Actor Awards from the Golden Globes for Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and from the Screen Actors Guild for Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. He has been listed in the 2012 Guinness Book of World Records as the highest paid actor with $75 million. Films featuring Depp have grossed over $3.1 billion at the United States box office and over $7.6 billion worldwide.

D epp's Hollywood Walk of Fame star received on November 19, 1999.

S ir James Paul McCartney an English musician, singer-songwriter and composer was born on 18 June 1942 in Walton Hospital in Liverpool, where his mother, Mary had worked as a nurse in the maternity ward. He has one brother, Michael. McCartney's father was a trumpet player and pianist and encouraged his two sons to be musical. McCartney's father gave him a nickel-plated trumpet, but he swapped the trumpet for an acoustic guitar.

At the age of 15, McCartney met John Lennon. He formed a close working relationship with Lennon and they collaborated writing many songs. With John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, McCartney gained worldwide fame as a member of The Beatles, and with Lennon formed one of the most influential and successful songwriting partnerships in the history of popular music.

In 1965, they were each appointed as a Member of the Order of the British Empire.

After performing concerts, plays, and tours almost non-stop for a period of nearly four years, and giving more than one thousand four hundred live performances internationally, The Beatles gave their last commercial concert at the end of their 1966 US tour.

After leaving The Beatles, McCartney launched a successful solo career and formed the band Wings with his first wife, Linda Eastman, and singer-songwriter Denny Laine. Linda and Paul had four children – Linda's daughter Heather (who was adopted by Paul), Mary, Stella and James – and remained married until Linda's death from breast cancer in 1998.

McCartney also collaborated with a number of other popular artists including Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Eric Stewart, and Elvis Costello. In 1985, he played "Let It Be" at the Live Aid concert in London.

McCartney has composed film scores, classical and electronic music, released a large catalogue of songs as a solo artist, and has taken part in projects to help international charities. Having witnessed the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks from the JFK airport tarmac, McCartney took a lead role in organizing The Concert for New York City. In November 2002, on the first anniversary of George Harrison's death, McCartney performed at the Concert for George.

BBC News Online readers named McCartney the "greatest composer of the millennium".

He is listed in Guinness World Records as the "most successful musician and composer in popular music history", with 60 gold discs and sales of 100 million singles in the United Kingdom alone.
