Johnny Depp to be honoured by hair, make up artists

Hollywood actor Johnny Depp will be honoured by a group of experts at the 2014 Makeup Artists and Hairstylists Guild Awards Feb 15.

The 50-year-old will be presented with the award by his makeup artist Joel Harlow, who has worked with Depp for "The lone Ranger", "Dark Shadows", "The Rum Diary" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: At Word's End" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest", reports hollywoodreporter.com. "Makeup and hair artisans agree that Johnny Depp is a wonderful selection to receive our first Distinguished Artisan Award," Susan Cabral-Ebert, Guild president, said in a statement.

"He, probably more than any other actor working today, uses the skills of our members to delineate his characters. Depp has constantly been an outstanding supporter of our crafts, ultimately respectful and appreciative of our members' abilities and generous with his creative collaboration. A great artist himself, he allows others to shine," added Cabral-Ebert.
