Scarlett Johannson had a big year in 2004, nominated for Golden Globe awards as Best Actress in a Movie, Drama, and Best Actress in a Movie, Comedy. She was nominated for her performance in the title role in Girl With a Pearl Earring, and as a young woman at loose ends in Tokyo, in the award-winning Lost in Translation. All this at the age of 19.

Johansson, born November 2, 1984, in New York, got her start in movies when she was ten years old, playing the daughter of John Ritter and Faith Ford in Rob Reiner's North. The next year she played Sean Connery's daughter in the legal thriller Just Cause, and a year later she won acclaim for her role in the low-budget sleeper, Manny and Lo. Her real breakthrough performance came in 1998, when she played Grace in Robert Redford's The Horse Whisperer, a part that earned her a Hollywood Reporter Young Star Award.

Johansson acted in a number of other films, including The Man Who Wasn't There, An American Rhapsody, and Eight Legged Freaks, before she made the two films that got her the Golden Globe nominations. She also made The Perfect Score and A Love Song for Bobby Long in 2004.

Johannson worked with Woody Allen on two films, Match Point and Vicky Cristina Barcelona. She has starred in The Prestige, alongside Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale; The Nanny Diaries, with Laura Linney; the Other Boleyn Girl, with Natalie Portman and Eric Bana; and He's Just Not That Into You, with Kevin Connolly, Ginnifer Goodwin and Justin Long.

In 2008, Johannson cut her first album, Anywhere I Lay My Head. She is married to actor Ryan Reynolds.

  • Born: 22 November 1984
  • Birthplace: New York, New York
  • Best Known As: The leading lady of Lost in Translation

Scarlett Johansson is the husky-voiced young beauty who co-starred with Bill Murray in the Sofia Coppola film Lost in Translation (2003). She began acting when she was a kid, first on the New York stage, then in feature films, including North (1994) and Just Cause (1995). Critics raved about her performance in the independent production Manny & Lo (1996), but it was Johansson's appearance in The Horse Whisperer (1998, starring Robert Redford) that grabbed the attention of moviegoers. Hailed as an up-and-comer, she went on to a lead role in Ghost World (2000, with Steve Buscemi), the movie version of the comic book by Daniel Clowes. The surprise success of Lost in Translation, with Johansson as a emotionally jet-lagged young tourist in Tokyo, made her an international celebrity and a sought-after actor. Her other films include Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003, in which she played the model for the famous painting by Jan Vermeer), the romantic office comedy In Good Company (2004, with Topher Grace), the sci-fi adventure The Island (2005, with Ewan McGregor), the Woody Allen movies Match Point (2005, with Jonathan Rhys-Meyers), Scoop (2006, with Hugh Jackman) and Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008, with Javier Bardem) and the costume drama The Other Boleyn Girl (2008, with Natalie Portman).

She released a CD in 2008 called Anywhere I Lay My Head, an album of her versions of songs by Tom Waits (with David Bowie singing back-up)... She married actor Ryan Reynolds 27 September 2008.

Biography

Universally known as one of the sexiest women in Hollywood, Scarlett Johansson has actually been acting professionally since the age of eight. A native of New York City, where she was born on November 22, 1984, Johansson was raised -- along with her twin brother -- as the youngest of four children, and she developed an interest in acting at the age of three. After enrolling in classes at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute for Young People, she made her stage debut opposite Ethan Hawke in the off-Broadway production of Sophistry. Her film debut followed in 1994, when she had a supporting role in North, and she subsequently appeared in the little-seen Just Cause (1995) and If Lucy Fell (1996).

Johansson had her first significant screen breakthrough with her role as one of two orphaned teenaged sisters in Manny & Lo (1996), a coming-of-age drama directed by Lisa Krueger. Johansson, who shared the screen with Aleksa Palladino and Mary Kay Place, earned an Independent Spirit Award Best Actress nomination for her work in the film, and she soon found herself being tapped by Robert Redford to star as Kristin Scott Thomas' daughter in The Horse Whisperer (1998). Although the film met with a very mixed reception, Johansson was widely praised for her portrayal of a girl who loses her leg and her best friend in a horrific accident.

In 2000, the actress signed on to play one of the heroines (alongside Thora Birch) of Terry Zwigoff's screen adaptation of Ghost World, Daniel Clowes' celebrated comic about the adventures of two teen girls grappling with post-high school life. That same year, she starred in American Rhapsody, in which she portrayed a young girl who escapes communist Hungary in the 1950s and travels to the U.S.

Though she would take a brief detour into camp with the 2002 giant spider fiasco Eight Legged Freaks, the respect Johansson had gained in the film industry as a result of her previous dramatic roles found the young actress in high demand among indie directors while quickly catching the eye of the Hollywood elite. With Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation, Johansson's touching performance as a young girl who strikes a tentative friendship with a washed-up American actor (memorably portrayed by Bill Murray) left no doubts regarding her dramatic skills, and although a Best Actress Oscar nomination eluded her, she received a boatload of nods from critics' groups and the Golden Globes. The rising starlet was soon cast in the lead of such subsequent films as The Girl with the Pearl Earring (2003) and The Perfect Score (2003).

After sticking to form in 2004 with roles in In Good Company and A Love Song for Bobby Long, Johansson took her first stab at a lead role in a big budget Hollywood flick, starring opposite Ewan MacGregor in Michael Bay's futuristic actioner The Island. While the picture was panned by critics and avoided by audiences, it did nothing to slow the young star down. She closed out the year by receiving virtually unanimous praise for her performance in Woody Allen's Match Point.

She immediately reteamed with Allen, who was full of praise for the young actress after their first collaboration, for the supernatural comedy/murder mystery Scoop in 2006. That same year she played a pivotal role in Robert De Palma's adaptation of The Black Dahlia, while also filming an adaptation of The Nanny Diaries with Laura Linney and Paul Giamatti. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, All Movie Guide

Contents

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 an Ashkenazi Jewish family from the Bronx.[2][3][4][5] Johansson's parents met in Denmark, where her mother lived with Johansson's maternal grandmother, Dorothy, a former bookkeeper and schoolteacher.[6] Johansson has an older sister, Vanessa, who is an actress; an older brother, Adrian; a twin brother, Hunter (whose only film, Manny & Lo, starred Scarlett);[7] and a half-brother, Christian, from her father's re-marriage.

Johansson grew up in a household with "little money"[4] with a mother who was a "film buff".[8] Johansson began her theater training by attending and graduating from Professional Children's School in Manhattan in 2002. She attended P.S. 41 in Greenwich Village for elementary school.

Acting career

Johansson began acting during childhood, after her mother began taking her to auditions.[4] She made her film debut in 1994's North. After appearing in several films during the late 1990s, including a very brief appearance in the Mandy Moore video for her single "Candy", 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 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 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 2004.[9] 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. 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.[10] She was replaced by Keri Russell.

In July 2005, Johansson starred with Ewan McGregor in Michael Bay's The Island, making her debut as a female lead in a mainstream action film. 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 Allen, was released on July 28, 2006. The same year, she appeared in Brian De Palma's The Black Dahlia, a film noir shot in Los Angeles and Bulgaria. Johansson has noted that she was a De Palma fan and had wanted to work with him on the film, even though she thought that she was "physically wrong" for the part.[11] Her reviews were mixed: CNN.com noted that Johansson "takes to the pulpy period atmosphere as if it were oxygen,"[12] whereas the Kalamazoo Gazette referred to Johansson as "miscast."[13]

On January 14, 2006, Johansson hosted Saturday Night Live. In the same year she also 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.[14] Johansson appeared in the Christopher Nolan thriller The Prestige, which opened on October 20, 2006. She made a return appearance on Saturday Night Live on April 21, 2007, during which she dueted with Andy Samberg for a version of Bonnie Raitt's "Something to Talk About."

Johansson next appeared in 2007's The Nanny Diaries, starring alongside Laura Linney, and 2008's The Other Boleyn Girl, opposite Natalie Portman and Eric Bana.[15] She filmed her third Woody Allen film, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, in Spain.[16]

Johansson played femme fatale Silken Floss in Frank Miller's film noir comedy adaptation of The Spirit. The film was released in US theaters on December 25, 2008. In 2009, she had a role as a yoga instructor in He's Just Not That Into You.

Johansson will portray Mary, Queen of Scots in a film.[17][18] In March 2009 she signed on to play Black Widow in both Iron Man 2 and The Avengers.[19]

Music career

In 2005, Johansson was considered for the role of Maria[20] in Andrew Lloyd Webber's West End revival of The Sound of Music, though the role ultimately went to newcomer Connie Fisher after she won BBC's talent show "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?"[21] Released on May 8, 2006, Johansson sang the track "Summertime" for Unexpected Dreams – Songs from the Stars, a non-profit collection of songs recorded by Hollywood actors. She performed with The Jesus And Mary Chain for a special Coachella Reunion Show in Indio, California in April 2007.[22]

In 2007, she appeared as the leading lady in Justin Timberlake's music video for "What Goes Around.../...Comes Around," nominated in August 2007 for video of the year at the MTV Video Music Awards.[23] The filming of the video took place in Los Angeles.[24] The video sparked rumors of a romance between Johansson and Timberlake.[25]

In the summer of 2007, Johansson spent about a month in Maurice, Louisiana recording an album at Dockside Studio, a rural 12-acre (49,000 m2) complex. The album consists of one original song and ten cover versions of Tom Waits songs.[8][26] It was produced by Dave Sitek of TV on the Radio and features David Bowie, members from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs[27][28] and Celebration.[29][30] The record, entitled Anywhere I Lay My Head was released on May 20, 2008, through Atco/Rhino Records.[31][32] Reviews of the album were mixed to somewhat positive.[33] Detractors compared her singing abilities to a sub-par Ann Wilson, and said that she failed to add a new dimension to the songs she chose to cover. Conversely, some critics found it to be "surprisingly alluring",[34] "brave" in its selection,[35] and even "brilliant".[36] The album was named the "23rd best album of 2008" by NME.[37] Of her album, Johansson said, “I had this golden opportunity to record and thought I would do maybe an album of standards, because I’m not a songwriter. I’m a vocalist.” [38] Johansson said for her recording she "wanted to have space and [she] wanted to be in a remote place where all of us could just be ourselves and not worry about anyone trying to listen in or get in on that." [39] Johansson said in an interview that she started listening to Tom Waits when she was 11 or 12. [40] Of Tom Waits, Johansson said in an interview, "his melodies are so beautiful, his voice is so distinct and I had my own way of doing Tom Waits songs." [41]

In December 2008, MTV reported Johansson plans to follow-up Anywhere I Lay My Head with an album of all original music, saying, “I don’t think I’d do covers, so it’d be a project that I have to dedicate myself to. I feel like that’s something for the future.”[42]

In 2009, Johansson covered Jeff Buckley's "Last Goodbye" for the soundtrack of He's Just Not That Into You.[43]

According to USA Today, Johansson and singer/songwriter Pete Yorn will release a collaborative album, Break Up, on September 9, 2009; it is reportedly inspired by Serge Gainsbourg's duets with Brigitte Bardot.[44] The track "Relator" is currently streaming at www.thebreakupalbum.com.

Personal life

Johansson does not discuss her personal life with the press, saying "it's nice to have everybody not know your business." This has not stopped Johansson from sharing "select" opinions and personal details.[45] Johansson's ex-boyfriend (and member of the band Steel Train), Jack Antonoff, wrote lyrics that refer to Johansson in the song "Better Love."[46] Antonoff alludes to Johansson in the song "2 O'clock." She has been linked to many famous men, including Benicio del Toro,[47] Jared Leto,[48] Justin Timberlake[49], and her Black Dahlia co-star Josh Hartnett, though Johansson denies she had a relationship with Del Toro.[48] Johansson and Hartnett dated for about two years until the end of 2006, with Hartnett citing their busy lives as the reason for the split.[50]

She started dating Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds in 2007,[51] and on May 5, 2008, it was reported that the two were engaged.[52]

On September 27, 2008, Johansson and Reynolds were married at a quiet ceremony on Vancouver Island in Tofino, British Columbia.[53][54] Johansson has expressed a concern about the potential conflict between the nature of human beings and the concept of monogamy. However, she has stated "contrary to popular belief... [I am] not promiscuous" and that she works "really hard" when she's in a relationship "to make it work in a monogamous way."[55] She gets tested for HIV twice a year, and has said "it's part of being a decent human" and it is "disgusting" and "irresponsible" when people do not do so.[56]

She has criticized the media and Hollywood for promoting an image that causes unhealthy diets and eating disorders among women, saying "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."[57]

Johansson is considered to be a modern sex symbol,[58] and she regularly appears at the top of lists of the sexiest women in the world. Johansson famously appeared on the cover of the March 2006 issue of Vanity Fair in the nude alongside actress Keira Knightley and fashion designer Tom Ford.[59] In the U.S. edition of FHM's poll of the sexiest women alive, Johansson finished ninth in 2005; first in 2006; third in 2007 and fifth in 2008. In the UK edition of FHM, Johansson finished third in 2006; fifth in 2007; sixth in 2008 and thirteenth in 2009. Maxim named Johansson #6 in their Hot 100 Issue in 2006; #3 in 2007 and #2 in 2008.[60] In November 2006, Johansson was named "Sexiest Woman Alive" by Esquire.[61] In February 2007, she was named the "Sexiest Celebrity" of the year by Playboy.[62] During the filming of Match Point, director Woody Allen described Johansson as "sexually overwhelming", saying that he found it "very hard to be extra witty around a sexually overwhelming, beautiful young woman who is wittier than you are."[63]

About her religious affiliation, Johansson says: "That's a very personal question. I would rather not answer." She celebrates a "little of both" referring to Christmas and Hanukkah.[64] She dislikes when celebrities thank God or Jesus in their award acceptance speeches.[65] She described herself as Jewish when she was talking about Woody Allen. "I just adore Woody," she says. "We have a lot in common. We're New Yorkers, Jewish. We have a very easygoing relationship."[66]

Johansson is a Global Ambassador for the aid and development agency, Oxfam.[67] On March 14, 2008, a UK-based bidder by the name of Bossnour paid £20,000 for a 20-minute date with Johansson on an online auction for Oxfam on eBay. The bidder paid for a hair and make up treatment and the chance to accompany Johansson on her July premiere of He's Just Not That Into You.[68]

Political advocacy

Johansson is a Democrat. In 2004, she campaigned for John Kerry in the 2004 United States presidential election.[8] She was quoted as saying of George W. Bush's reelection, "[I am] disappointed. I think it was a disappointment for a large percentage of the population."[69] Johansson campaigned for Barack Obama in Iowa on January 2, 2008. Her efforts were targeted at small groups of younger voters, including Cornell College students[70] and students at St. Paul Central in Minnesota on Super Tuesday. Johansson appeared in the 2008 music video for Black Eyed Peas front man Will.i.am's song, "Yes We Can", directed by Jesse Dylan. The song was inspired by Obama's speech following the 2008 New Hampshire primary. According to the FEC's website, she donated the maximum allowed amount of $2300 to the Obama campaign on May 8, 2008.

Johansson has taken part in the anti-poverty campaign ONE which was organized by U2 lead singer Bono.[8]
