\n\tIn her new memoir called You With the Sad Eyes<\/a>, she revealed that when she was 15, she was \u201cmadly in love\u201d with Johnny Depp<\/a>. They first met when she guest-starred on his show 21 Jump Street and immediately ensconced herself into his friend group, visiting him on set in Vancouver.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOne thing is very clear from the journals: I was in love with Johnny Depp for years,\u201d she said. \u201cHe was eight years older than me. He always behaved impeccably toward me, even though I was clearly mad about him. It seems that back then I was just one of the guys to him, yet my journals are filled with complicated and ever-changing feelings. I swing from swoon to a cold bucket of water on the face in the span of less than two months.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShe even said in her journals: \u201cI can\u2019t sit here and wish he was something that he\u2019s not. I can\u2019t change him. But yet I wish I could get through to him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tNow, the Dead to Me<\/a> alum and Depp never dated, but what\u2019s so cosmic is that she ended up dating actor Richard Grieco, who replaced Depp in 21 Jump Street. They only dated for a brief period of time in the late 1980s.<\/p>\n

\n\tBefore her marriage to Martyn LeNoble, with whom she\u2019s been together since 2008, she was married to Johnathon Schaech from 2001 to 2007 and dated stars like Grieco, Brad Pitt, and Lee Grivas, who passed away at 26 after the pair split a few months prior.<\/p>\n
