Directors primarily relied on her angelic appearance of a blonde femme fatale and, accordingly, offered her projects, which should have just "stand up". However, Amber herself has always tried to prove that not only has an attractive appearance, but also a strong character. Therefore, and tried to choose the role of the rebel and geeks. It is enough to remember such films with her participation as "Never Give Up" (2008), "The Ward" (2010), "Crazy Ride" (2010), "Aquaman" (2010). (2010), "Aquaman" (2018), etc. Her bold statements about the need for equal rights between men and women in the film business, humane treatment of animals and respect for nature, as well as her unwillingness to put labels on her image also contributed to her image.

Not the least role in shaping her public image was played by her ex-husband, actor Johnny Depp. Before Amber to marry a famous actor to any of his women failed, including the Frenchwoman Vanessa Paradis, who lived with him for 14 years and gave birth to two children. But with Depp's happiness did not work out. Starting as a beautiful fairy tale on the set of "The Rum Diary" (2009) relationship for literally a year of marriage turned into an epic saga of confrontation - swearing, bullying and beatings. Maybe the world would have never known what was going on behind closed doors, if Amber herself had not decided to write an essay in the Washington Post about domestic violence. Now the ex-spouses are going through their "dirty laundry" in court, proving to those around them and to themselves who started it first and what bad things they've managed to do.
