It was his first love, and they divorced as soon as he stepped on the Hollywood scene. However, decades later, she talks only the best about him, and many call her Mrs. Depp.
Johnny Depp's first great love happened when he was a teenager, but that doesn't mean that it was a frivolous relationship - the girl who won his heart became his first wife.
Lori Anne Allison and Johnny Depp met while he was still a teenager, and love flared up even though she is five years older than the actor. They were united by music: Lori Anne is the sister of the bassist in the band in which Depp played in those days when he even left school in the hope of building a music career.
They saw each other every day and very quickly fell madly in love, and when Johnny turned 20, they decided to crown their love with marriage. In December 1983, they were married in South Florida and then moved to Los Angeles, still dreaming that one day they would make a living from music.
Soon, new opportunities opened up for Depp, so the following year he played in "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and more and more offers and public attention arrived. It is not known exactly why the marriage collapsed, it is only known that Johnny Depp and Lori Anne Allison divorced in 1985. As the media wrote at the time, the couple had irreconcilable differences, which affected their relationship.
Like Depp, Lori did not manage to build a career in the world of music, but she became a highly respected make-up artist. After she lost her hearing in her left ear due to health problems, her friend and famous actress Christina Applegate helped her find a job on television.
In the following decades, she worked on some of the most famous TV projects in Hollywood and gladly participated in humanitarian actions, and many still know her as Lori Depp. Years later, in an interview, she looked back on her past with Depp and commented on his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie.
“Well, we all know that he is a talented actor and that he can play pirate as a joke” - Lori Ann said at the time. “But he is also an extremely talented guitarist and he started at a local club in South Florida.”
After his ex-wife Amber Heard accused Johnny Depp of violence a few years ago, his ex-girlfriends Winona Ryder and Vanessa Paradis came forward, defending him, but his first wife's statement, Lori Anne, went unnoticed. She then pointed out that Depp was a "soft-hearted person" and added that he was not a violent man.
Today, Allison is the owner of the cosmetics company Serendeppity Lip Glosses, which she founded in 2015, and is also known as a big dog lover. In 2016, with her sister Susan Allison, she published a book of portraits of celebrities with pets, called Sheltering Spirits. Her fortune is estimated at eight million today, but not much is known about the life of Johnny Depp's first wife because she prefers to stay away from the public eye.
