But in the movie, it's not this gawky gangly guy, it's Johnny Depp. And she kinda goes: Johnny Depp or Casper Van Dien... Johnny! She didn't even...
Sporting a snappy suit and a flat top, Casper Van Dien looked more like the energetic captain of his last big film, Starship Troopers, than the chubby, long-haired Brom from Sleepy Hollow when he met with reporters in a Four Seasons hotel room Friday.

Crane has an encounter with this spirit at the end of the story, but the narrator makes it seem very...
...suite that normally serves cardiac patients. At 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Bobbi was partly anesthetized; 18 minutes later, the boy nicknamed Hercules (he'd been supporting the weight of all his siblings in the womb) was lifted out. "There was a lot of pressure," says anesthesiologist Dr. Dirk Brom, "but it all went like clockwork." Bobbi was quiet, Brom recalls, but "there were tears in her eyes as her babies were being born." Before she left the operating room, Bobbi was reportedly given a tubal ligation...
