BEVERLY HILLS (AP) -- There was only one thing Johnny Depp had to do to prepare to play Barnabas Collins in "Dark Shadows." Watch the original TV series with Jonathan Frid. Depp says he picked up the way Frid walked like he had a pole in his back, the way he talked. Frid sent Depp a letter giving him his blessing to play Barnabas. Frid and other members of the original cast have cameos in the party scene of the movie. "Dark Shadows" starts in some theaters at midnight. It goes nationwide tomorrow.

LOS ANGELES -- Johnny Depp and his longtime partner, Vanessa Paradis, have split.

A publicist for Depp said in a statement Tuesday that the two "have amicably separated." The statement requested privacy for the former couple and their two children, 9-year-old son, Jack, and 13-year-old daughter, Lily-Rose.

Depp and Paradis met in 1998 but never married during their 14-year relationship. The American actor and the French model-singer lived together with their children in France.

Depp’s most recent film credits include "The Rum Diary" and "Dark Shadows." He is set to star as Tonto in the big-screen take on "The Lone Ranger," due next year.
