1-MINUTE RESUME FOR SCARLETT JOHANSSON
Most famous for her performance opposite Bill Murray in
Lost in Translation,
Scarlett Johansson has been a critically acclaimed actress since
puberty, choosing mostly quirky indie roles like her 2000 turn in
Ghost World. Her first foray into blockbuster studio fare was less successful — producers blamed her for
The Island's
failure, though nobody really bought that argument. Her resume also
includes not one, not two, but three movies with Woody Allen, the first
of which,
Match Point, was hailed as the first decent project from the Woodman in ages.
5 Things:
1. Her first TV appearance was on the Conan O'Brien show at age 8.
2. She briefly dated Benicio Del Toro.
3. Her father is from Norway.
4. She has a twin brother, Hunter.
5. She lost a role in The Parent Trap to Lindsay Lohan.
Quote:
On auditioning for commercials as a child: "I used to get really
frustrated because they would always ask if I had a sore throat, so my
mom just said, 'Well, then we won't go out on these commercials anymore
because you don't like them.' So I just stopped."
