As Johnny Depp's defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard continues to dominate the headlines, this felt as good a time as any to look back at their respective careers.
Heard's first notable role came in 2004 on Friday Night Lights opposite the likes of Billy-Bob Thornton and Connie Britton. Since then she has cemented a role in the DC universe as Mera, alongside multiple other high-profile credits.

Depp, meanwhile, has been a Hollywood mainstay since his debut in Wes Craven's Nightmare On Elm Street back in 1984, going on to headline the Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise.
With this in mind, here are five of Heard and/or Depp's movies to stream this weekend:
The Rum Diary, 2011
The only movie to feature both Depp and Heard, The Rum Diary sees the former portray an alcoholic journalist, Paul Kemp, who has hit a dead-end in his career.
Set in 1950s Puerto Rico, the atmosphere is tense throughout between the locals and Americans and seems to have reached a boiling point well before Kemp even arrived to assume his new role with the local newspaper.
The situation quickly worsens thanks to questionable business dealings, an exposé, and a love triangle involving Depp and Heard's characters.
If you're in need of a comedy this weekend, The Rum Diary can be streamed for free on Pluto TV.
Aquaman, 2018
The blockbuster that looked to reinvent DC's Aquaman from a somewhat comical cartoon to a brawny dreamboat.
The son of a human and Atlantian royalty, Jason Momoa's Arthur learns of his half-brother King Orm's (played by Patrick Wilson) intentions to wage war on "the surface world."
Assisted by Orm's wife Mera (played by Heard), who wishes to avoid war, she and Arthur seek to retrieve his mother's trident and use it to assume control of Atlantis and stop Orm in his tracks.
Aquaman can be streamed via subscription on HBO Max.
Nightmare On Elm Street, 1984
A true heavyweight of the horror genre, Nightmare On Elm Street blends dreams and reality to a point where defining the two is near impossible.
One by one, high schoolers in an unassuming town are haunted in their dreams by a frightening figure, waking up with strange injuries. Things take a turn for the worst when one teen is killed in her sleep by the figure, who it turns out, is none other than Freddie Kreuger.
The teens, led by Heather Langenkamp, later learn that this deranged dream killer was murdered himself by many of their parents after he was found to have killed children. Kreuger continues to seek revenge on the kids - including Depp's Glen - of those who burned him alive, while the teens attempt to fight back and destroy Kreuger before he destroys them.
A gory slasher that helped define an era of horror and usher in a seemingly endless stream of sequels, Nightmare On Elm Street is up there with the most important movies of its era.
If you're in the mood for horror, Nightmare On Elm Street can be streamed via subscription on HBO Max - just don't fall asleep.
The Danish Girl, 2015
Set in the 1920s and based on the true story of Danish artist Einar Wegener (later Lili Elbe), The Danish Girl sees Eddie Redmayne's Lili transition from male to female. Supported by her partner Gerda, played by Alicia Vikander, despite the risks Lili eventually decides to undergo gender reassignment surgery as she continues to come to terms with, and accept, who she really is.
A moving story, featuring some excellent performances - including Heard as Ulla -The Danish Girl is one of Redmayne's most notable performances. However, he recently admitted he felt was made "with the best intentions, but I think it was a mistake."
The Danish Girl can be watched via subscription on Netflix.
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street, 2007
Based on a made-for-stage musical, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street is a gritty and bloody take on Victorian London. Accompanied by a remarkable soundtrack by Steven Sondheim, this has to rank as one of Tim Burton's best directorial works.
Depp plays this musical's namesake, an anti-hero if there ever was one, Todd returns to London with revenge on his mind. After being falsely imprisoned by a crooked judge (played by Alan Rickman) - whose wife had caught the eye of Todd - he sets up his barbershop above his landlady Nellie Lovett's pie shop.
A talented but disturbed barber, Todd goes on something of a murderous rampage, killing any and all who adorn his barbers chair - with their remains being used by Mrs. Lovett for her delicious pies.
Naturally, this cheery tale has an equally cheery demise - a term that cannot be taken lightly in this story.
Despite it's dark and grisly nature, this is by no means a depressing watch, mainly thanks to Sondheim's score which you'll be singing for days after.
Sweeney Todd can be watched via subscription on HBO Max.
