Scarlett
Johansson (born November 22, 1984) is an American
actress. She rose to fame with her role in 1998's The
Horse Whisperer and subsequently gained critical acclaim
for her roles in Ghost World, Lost in Translation and
Girl with a Pearl Earring, the latter two earning her
Golden Globe Award nominations in 2003. She has been
named the "sexiest" or "most
beautiful" woman alive by several publications.
Biography, Early life: Johansson was born in New
York City. Her father, Karsten Johansson, is a
Danish-born architect, and her paternal grandfather,
Ejner Johansson, was a screenwriter and director. Her
mother, Melanie Sloan, a producer, comes from a Jewish
American family from the Bronx. Johansson's parents met
in Denmark, where her mother lived with Johansson's
maternal grandmother, Dorothy, a former bookkeeper and
schoolteacher. Johansson has an older sister, Vanessa,
who is also an actress; an older brother, Adrian; a twin
brother, Hunter, also an actor; and a half-brother from
her father's re-marriage, Christian.
Johansson grew up in a household with "little
money". She began her theater training by attending
and graduating from Professional Children's School in
Manhattan in 2002.
Career: Johansson began acting during her
childhood, making her film debut in 1994's North, after
her mother began taking her to auditions. After
appearing in several films during the late 1990s,
Johansson garnered praise and widespread attention for
her performance in 1998's The Horse Whisperer and 2001's
Ghost World. She won the "Upstream Prize" for
Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival for her
performance as Charlotte in 2003's Lost in Translation.
The same year, she was nominated for two best actress
awards at the Golden Globes, one for drama (Girl with a
Pearl Earring) and one for comedy (Lost in Translation).
She was also nominated for best actress for both films
at the BAFTAs, and won best actress for Lost in
Translation.
Johansson was invited to join the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences in June of 2004. In the same
year, she starred in the films The Perfect Score, In
Good Company and A Love Song for Bobby Long, the last of
which earned her a third Golden Globe Award nomination.
A scene from Bobby Long, which wasn't included in the
theatrical cut, of JohanssonŽs character being
masturbated and having an orgasm, has become popular on
the Internet. Johansson was involved for a short time
with the film Mission: Impossible III, but was not
officially cast because of scheduling conflicts,
although a falling out with the film's star, Tom Cruise,
had been both widely reported and publicly denied. She
was replaced by Keri Russell.
In July 2005, Johansson starred with Ewan McGregor in
the Michael Bay-directed The Island, making her debut as
a female lead in a mainstream action film. She drew
attention to both the film and herself when she proposed
to appear topless in the film's sex scene, but director
Bay disapproved, wanting to keep the film at a PG-13
rating.More recently, Johansson said sheŽd be open to
do nude scenes if the right project came along. In the
same year, she starred in the Woody Allen-directed drama
Match Point, which opened in December. Johansson
received her fourth Golden Globe nomination for Best
Supporting Actress for the role but lost to Rachel
Weisz. Johansson's next film, Scoop, another
collaboration with Woody Allen, was released on 28 July
2006. The same year, she appeared in director Brian De
Palma's The Black Dahlia, a film noir shot in Los
Angeles and Bulgaria. Johansson has noted that she was a
fan of De Palma and had wanted to work with him on the
film, despite her belief that she was "physically
wrong" for the part. Her reviews were mixed:
CNN.com positively noted that Johansson "takes to
the pulpy period atmosphere as if it were oxygen",
whereas another reviewer referred to Johansson as
"miscast".
Johansson's most recent role was in the thriller The
Prestige, which opened on October 20, 2006. She has also
completed filming for The Nanny Diaries, in which she
starred alongside Alicia Keys, and opposite Natalie
Portman and Eric Bana in The Other Boleyn Girl, playing
Mary Boleyn, which is scheduled for a 2007 release.
Johansson will also play Mary, Queen of Scots, in a film
scheduled to begin production by the end of summer 2007.
Other works: Johansson endorsed the Calvin Klein
perfume "Calvin Klein Eternity Moment" and was
featured in several commercials and printed
advertisements for the product. One of the commercials
was featured in her 2005 film The Island. Further
establishing her position in Hollywood, she became the
face and spokesperson for the French luxury brand Louis
Vuitton in early 2005 and has appeared in three of their
ad campaigns: Spring 2005, Spring 2007 and Fall 2007. In
January 2006, she was named as a spokesperson of
L'Oreal.
Johansson appeared on the controversial cover of the
February 2006 issue of Vanity Fair in the nude with
fellow Hollywood "it girl" Keira Knightley and
world-renowned fashion designer Tom Ford. In March of
2006, she topped the U.S. edition of FHM's poll of the
sexiest women alive (in the UK edition Johansson was
third). In May of 2006, Maxim named Johansson #6 in
their Hot 100 issue, and in July of 2006, Reebok signed
a deal with Johansson to co-create "Scarlett
'Hearts' Rbk", athletic footwear scheduled for a
debut in the spring of 2007. Johansson will also be
featured in Reebok's global women's advertising
campaign, also in the spring of 2007. The company's
press releases described Johansson as a "world
renowned style icon" and an "inspiration for
today's young women". In November 2006, Johansson
was named "Sexiest Woman Alive" by Esquire
magazine.
On January 14, 2006, Johannson made her debut as the
host of Saturday Night Live. She made a return
appearance on April 21, 2007.
Also in 2006, Johansson starred in a short film directed
by Bennett Miller and set to Bob Dylan's "When the
Deal Goes Down...", released to promote Dylan's
album, Modern Times.
Music career: Between 2005 and 2006, Johansson
sang the track "Summertime" for Unexpected
Dreams - Songs from the Stars, a non-profit collection
of songs recorded by Hollywood actors, and was in talks
to appear in a stage version of The Sound of Music.
In October 2006, Fox News reported that Johansson has
signed to record a music album with Rhino
Entertainment's Atco Records, with a possible release
date of Spring 2007. The album, entitled Scarlett Sings
Tom Waits, will consist entirely of Johansson's cover
versions of Tom Waits songs. Johansson is also the
leading lady in the Justin Timberlake music video
"What Goes Around.../...Comes Around
Interlude".
Johansson is set to team up with legendary rock group
The Jesus And Mary Chain for a special Coachella warm-up
date in Pomona, California on April 26, 2007.
Personal life: Johansson is a Democrat and
campaigned for John Kerry in the 2004 presidential
election. She was later quoted as saying, of George W.
Bush's re-election, that "[she was] disappointed. I
think it was a disappointment for a large percentage of
the population." Johansson has also taken part in
the anti-poverty campaign ONE which was organised by U2
lead singer Bono.
Johansson has previously stated that she has a
connection to older men, and could not see herself
dating anyone under the age of thirty. She has also
noted that she does not discuss "any part" of
her personal life with the press, specifying that she
feels "it's nice to have everybody not know your
business". However, this has not stopped Johansson
from sharing "select" opinions and personal
details. Johansson's ex-boyfriend (and member of the
band Steel Train), Jack Antonoff, has included negative
lyrics that refer to Johansson in his band's song
"Better Love". Antonoff also references
Johansson in the song 2 O'clock. She has been linked to
many famous men, including Derek Jeter, Benicio Del
Toro, Jared Leto, Justin Timberlake and most notably her
The Black Dahlia co-star Josh Hartnett. The pair dated
for around two years until the end of 2006, with Josh
citing their busy professional lives as the reason for
the split.
Johansson has repeatedly said that she does not believe
in monogamy or monandry, and that it is not human nature
to be with just one person but "contrary to popular
belief... [she is] not promiscuous" and she works
"really hard" when she is in a relationship
"to make it work in a monogamous way". She
gets tested for HIV twice a year, and has specified that
she feels "it's part of being a decent human"
and that she finds it "disgusting" and
"irresponsible" when people do not do so.
Johansson has claimed to be a fanatic for Swiss cheese,
saying: "My greatest vice is cheese. Nothing else
reigns over my life". She has criticized the media
and Hollywood for promoting an image that causes
unhealthy diets and eating disorders among women, saying
that she thinks "that being ultra-thin is not sexy
at all. Women shouldn't be forced to conform to
unrealistic and unhealthy body images that the media
promote".
When asked about her religious affiliation, Johansson
has answered: "That's a very personal question. I
would rather not answer". She has, however,
specified that she celebrates a "little of
both" Christmas and Hanukkah. She has noted that
she dislikes it when celebrities thank God or Jesus in
their award acceptance speeches.
