Cool story from valentinaxxx: Little known fact: John Dillinger was friends with my family. While my father was growing up in the late 20's/early 30's, Dillinger often chose to "hide out" on the Menominee reservation. He respected the American Indian better than he did the U.S. government. One of the safe houses he stayed at was the Kaquatosh's place. In our prayers to the ancestors, we still count Dillinger as one of the family and we burn tabacco in his honor.
My father has often told me tall tales about the gangster who lived for a short while on the res, and I have even dreamed about him over the years, it's like he's more than just some gangster out of 1930's history, he's sort of a family legend, a "dirty angel" looking down on us.
Now, guess what? Johnny Depp is going to star as Dillinger in the upcoming movie, "Public Enemies" which will be filmed close to where real life Dillinger hung out with my family here in north central Wisconsin. Co-starring Christian Bale as Melvin Purvis and Channing Tatum as Pretty Boy Floyd, plus many other young hunks, the picture promises to be positively star filled.
I've always thought that it was about time Hollywood turned it eye on where I live as a good location for an old fashioned gangster flick based on Dillinger's life. There have been other films about Dillinger, but not with Johnny Depp starring in them!
