Let's have some spooky Connection Combats leading up to Halloween!

This week's battle is between frequent freaky film collaborators, Tim Burton and Johnny Depp. What's your favourite Burton or Depp film? 

As usual, the rules for Connection Combat are here. Johnny and Tim are both still living, so ask for trusted list access and it will be granted. Post here to gather collaborators, and when you've made a connection so a winner can be declared.

Dang, that was quick! Nice one, David.

Bonham Carter family... so many connections... too easy. wink

For example, Frances Smith's daughter is Florence Nightingale!

Way to go!

lol this is just getting rediculous lol
Johhny Depp was married to Vanessa Paradis who was once married to Lenny Kravitz
Vanessa Paradis was never married to Lenny Kravitz, but they did have a long-term relationship.

Lenny Kravitz is another notable person who isn't connected to the tree yet.

Just curious, does Johnny Depp have a single verified Native American ancestor?

Johnny Depp's great-grandmother Effie America Palmore is the daughter of Andrew Houston Palmore, who is 21 steps from AJ. Andrew's profile is locked, so I've asked to be on the Trusted List or for it to be opened.
