JAN MOIR: Amber Heard was the compliant Olive Oyl to Johnny Depp's tattooed Popeye
If she were planning to star in a remake of Bugsy Malone: The Feminist Years, all she needed was a kipper tie to complete the look.
Quizzed by her own lawyers, Amber started off slow, painting a super-cute picture of her first years as a Hollywood ingénue – one in which she ‘worked my butt off’. During all this Cinderella-ising – cue violins! – Depp kept his eyes fixed downwards on to his courtroom desk, doing an extravagant job of not looking at his former wife.
The prosecution suggested that it was an unlikely present to give to a serial abuser, a man you were supposedly terrified of – and surely many would agree. But these were rare moments of semi-levity. Most of the time before taking the stand, she was a cold storm front; a Sombre Amber, veering from the disapproving towards the upset.
Back then, during the case in which Depp was suing a newspaper for libel, her testimony also ranged over the short period of their relationship and marriage.
