Just a Couple of Eccentrics

By Rebecca Winters

JOHNNY DEPP has said he based his look in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory--severe bob, outsize sunglasses--on Vogue editor Anna Wintour. But in Depp's Willie Wonka, isn't there more of an echo of another media figure, one with Wonka's penchant for catchy tunes and the company of small primates? How do the candy hawker and MICHAEL JACKSON stack up?

COMPLEXIONS: Unnaturally white

DRESS SENSE: Inappropriately elaborate

HOMES: Fantastic, isolated theme parks

FAMILY LIFE: Troubled relationship with Dad

HOSPITALITY: Both invite kids to visit. Neither knows quite how to behave after they get there.
