Johnny Depp’s Dream Role As Carrol Channing Gets One Step Closer To Reality

“I imagine when or if Johnny should portray me, he will succeed, because a true artist, such as himself, is one who loves his or her creation and therefore represents their honest view of that which they are creating. I think he is a gifted performer and I would be very proud, as well as interested, in seeing what his vision of me would be.” — Carol Channing tells the Advocate she essentially gives Johnny Depp her blessing to portray her if/when someone green lights a biopic of her life (Depp, as we’ve noted is obsessed with the very peculiar Broadway personality).

Hollywood? Your move, but seriously, if you announce another Mattel project over this, we’re simply going to think you’re officially mentally retarded. [E! via Vulture]
