DECEMBER 2012 Front Cover

EXCERPT:
In New York, in the 90s, Kate Moss and Johnny Depp lived in a building on Waverly Place, where Carolyn Bessette, John Kennedy Jr.'s then girlfriend, lived downstairs. A tribal area was staked out by James Brown, Jen Ramey, the casting director Jess Hallett, and Lucie de la Falaise, the wife of Marlon Richards, who is the son of Keith Richards and Anita Pallenberg.

They all lived nearby, except Hallett, who would fly in from London for frequent visits. Moss seemed to bind together her proxy family, giving them nicknames and honorary titles—"Jessie Girl," "Jimmy B.," and so on. Lucie's mother was "Mum." Moss tells me, "Me and Lucie are like sisters, and me and Marlon are like brother and sister. When I met Marlon, we had this weird thing, because he was so uncomfortable in his skin, and so was I, kind of. We were very uncomfortable. And we came from completely different backgrounds. His was, like, opposite. My mum and dad stayed in and drank a bit of sherry, and his mum and dad, well, obviously ... We bonded immediately." Keith became Uncle Keith. (Keith's avuncular testimonial for this article was simply: "For a bad girl, she's always been very well behaved.")

And then Moss and Depp parted abruptly, which her friends say affected Moss very badly for a long time. She won't talk about her exes, saying only this about Depp when we discuss her early life: "There's nobody that's ever really been able to take care of me. Johnny did for a bit. I believed what he said. Like if I said, 'What do I do?,' he'd tell me. And that's what I missed when I left. I really lost that gauge of somebody I could trust. Nightmare. Years and years of crying. Oh, the tears!" It was from Depp, however, so her friends say, that she picked up much lasting advice about how to protect her privacy.
