For the next two years, Depp did not act in films, except for a brief episode in A Nightmare on Elm Street 6: Freddie Is Dead (1991), the sixth installment in the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. In 1993, he starred in three films. In the romantic comedy Benny & June, he played an eccentric and illiterate silent film fan who befriends a mentally ill woman and her brother; the film became a hit. Janet Maslin of The New York Times wrote that Depp "may not look like Buster Keaton, but there are moments when he really becomes the Great Stone Face, bringing Keaton's manner sweetly and magically to life.
