...fallen on the frail-looking shoulders of SISTER NIRMALA, 70, a high-caste Hindu convert to Catholicism, to take over the Missionaries of Charity. Sister Nirmala joined the order at 23, after witnessing the horrors of the partition of India and Pakistan. "It was inspiration at first sight," she says of Mother Teresa's work.

Among them--twice, including Depp's upcoming directorial debut, The Brave--is Marlon Brando, another instinctive actor, who almost certainly would have preferred a hide-in-plain-sight career like Depp's to the one he got. Depp, now 33, was lucky. He was given his shot at mainstream studdishness early on and blew it off fast. That was after he scored his first major success on TV's 21 Jump Street (where he played an undercover narc...
