Anne Hathaway:
Born in Brooklyn, New York. She is of mostly Irish descent, along with English, German, and French. Her first major role came in the short-lived television series Get Real (1999). She gained widespread recognition for her roles in The Princess Diaries (2001) and The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (its 2004 sequel) as a young girl who discovers she's a member of royalty, opposite Julie Andrews and Heather Matarazzo.
A former top-ranking soprano in New York, Hathaway was reportedly a front-runner for the role of "Christine" in The Phantom of The Opera (2004). However, due to scheduling conflicts with The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (2004), she couldn't take the role, which was later given to newcomer Emmy Rossum.

Johnny Depp:
Born John Christopher Depp II, Owensboro, Kentucky. Dropped out of school when he was 15, and fronted a series of music-garage bands, including one named The Kids. In 1990, after numerous roles in teen-oriented films, his first of a handful of great collaborations with director Tim Burton came about when Depp played the title role in Edward Scissorhands.
In the same year he starred in the marvellous family blockbuster Pirates if The Caribbean: Curse of The Black Pearl (2003), playing a character that only the likes of Depp could pull off: the charming, conniving and roguish Captain Jack Sparrow. The film's enormous success has opened several doors for his career and included an Oscar nomination. He appeared as the kind-hearted novelist James Barrie in the factually-based Finding Neverland (2004), where he co-starred with Kate Winslet. In 2005, Depp collaborated again with Burton in a screen adaptation of Roald Dahl's novel, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory and later in Alice in Wonderland (2010) and Dark Shadows (2012).

Emily Blunt:
Born on February 23rd 1983, Roehampton, South West London.
At a young age she had a stammer which by the age of 12 had disappeared thanks to a teacher who asked her to read a characters part in a play. Blunt used an northern accent for the part and the stammer just went like that *clicks fingers*. She went to the top co-ed boarding school where she learnt sport, cello and singing. She was signed up by an agent, Kenneth McCreddie, who led her to the West End and the BBC, scoring her roles in several period dramas on stage as well as on TV productions, such as Foyle's War (2002), Henry VIII (2003) and Empire (2005).

As part of her filming career she played quite a few manipulative characters. She continued the manipulative line when she starred as 'Emily', a caustic put-upon assistant to Meryl Streep's 'Miranda Priestly' in the 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada. Her neurotic twist added dimension of sarcasm to the comedy of the film.
