Once a beloved star of Hollywood, Amber Heard has been living on the edge ever since losing out on the high-profile defamation trial against her ex-husband, Jonny Depp. While Depp has crawled back to his regular life and has started working, Heard, it seems, is still finding it difficult to come to terms with her defeat.
If fresh reports doing the rounds are to be believed, the Aquaman star has been using a cowgirl pseudonym as she vacations in Mallorca, Spain.
Spanish newspaper El Mundo reports that Heard has rented a luxury villa under the name of gun-slinging frontierswoman Martha Jane Cannary aka Calamity Jane.
For those not in the know, Cannary was a notorious sharpshooter in the 19th century and was even the subject of the western series Deadwood, set at HBO.
The sprawling villa that Heard has rented is owned by Maria Antònia Munar, a local politician who served 14 years in prison for corruption. He has been out of jail since 2020.
As per the publication, the locals immediately recognised the actress. However, she blended beautifully with them, and people left her alone.
A town resident said Amber had been there for months, and no one knew it, as everyone treated her as their own.
“Everyone here treats her like one of the others. In fact, she has been in this town for months without anyone knowing,” said the town resident.
Reports suggest Amber has a Mexican Spanish accent and takes her daughter to pay like any other mother.
The judge in the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation trial ordered Heard to pay Depp $10.35 million for damaging Depp’s reputation by describing herself as a domestic abuse victim in an op-ed piece she wrote. She was also asked to pay $350,000 in punitive damages.

Actor also appeared in films like Sanam Bewafa and TV shows including Chandrakanta and Sasural Simar Ka.
Remembered for his cultural impact, with temples and statues dedicated to his portrayal of Karna.
Beloved for portraying karna
Veteran actor Pankaj Dheer, celebrated for his role as the warrior Karna in BR Chopra’s Mahabharat, passed away on 15 October 2025 at the age of 68. The news was confirmed by his friend and colleague Amit Behl as well as CINTAA (Cine & TV Artistes’ Association), which issued a statement expressing profound grief.
According to sources, Dheer had been battling cancer for some time. Despite undergoing major surgery and fighting the disease, it relapsed a few months ago, leaving him extremely unwell. His cremation was held on the same day at Vile Parle (W), Mumbai.
A versatile career in film and television
Beyond Mahabharat, Dheer appeared in films such as Sanam Bewafa and Baadshah, and TV shows including Chandrakanta and Sasural Simar Ka. He also worked as a director, helming the film My Father Godfather, and founded the Abhinay Acting Academy, mentoring aspiring actors.
Dheer’s portrayal of Karna left a lasting impression on audiences, making him one of Indian television’s most recognisable figures from the 1980s.
Cultural legacy and devotion
In interviews, Dheer spoke about the enduring popularity of his character, noting that statues and temples were built in his name. He revealed that he is worshipped in two Karna Mandirs, one in Karnal and another in Bastar, where an eight-foot statue honours his character.
He reflected: “People have loved me and adored me over the years. Even in the history books of schools, if they have a reference to Karna, they have my picture there. So, as long as these books are printed, I will always be their reference as Karna.”
Pankaj Dheer is survived by his wife Anita Dheer and son, actor Nikitin Dheer. His work continues to influence Indian television and the cultural memory of the Mahabharat epic.
