Scarlet Johansson

Biography and Filmography

Born on November 22, 1984, in New York City, on the cusp of both the Scorpio and Sagittarius astrological signs, Scarlett Johansson has a unique recipe of personality traits. On the astrological plane, that means she's sexually driven, honest, passionate, and determined, but can also be adventurous, independent, and a free spirit. Johansson also inherited a few well-placed professional traits from both sides of her family that have served her well at the top of the business, since her father was an architect and her mother a producer.

Acting was in Scarlet Johansson 's blood from a young age. Her mother brought Johansson to auditions and, at the age of 9, she made her debut in movies in the 1994 film North. Scarlett Johansson went on to appear in other small films in 1995 and 1996 before landing a role in Home Alone 3 in 1997. The big break for Scarlett happened in 1998, when she landed a leading role alongside Robert Redford and Kristin Scott Thomas in The Horse Whisperer. Somehow, despite the fact that she had appeared in movies for years, her role in The Horse Whisperer featured the line "Introducing Scarlett Johansson" in the film's trailer. However, the world was just getting a taste of one of Hollywood's up and coming young actresses.

After a series of mildly received movies, punctuated by the action flop Eight Legged Freaks, Scarlett Johansson soared to the top of the industry in 2003, co-starring alongside Colin Firth in Girl with a Pearl Earring, which landed her a Golden Globe nomination. Scarlett followed that performance with another outstanding leading role next to Bill Murray in the critically-acclaimed Lost In Translationfor which she earned another Golden Globe nomination. She later got to pick up her first piece of hardware when she won a BAFTA for Best Actress in a Leading Role.

After being nominated for several awards, Scarlett Johansson became a true Hollywood star. In the following few years, Scarlett took on a variety of roles, ranging from voice work on SpongeBob SqaurePants and her role in Michael Bay's sci-fi trip The Island, to playing the object of Josh Hartnett's affection in Brian De Palma's The Black Dahlia and her high-profile role in The Prestige, with Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale. But Scarlett Johansson truly hit it big when the celebrity gossip circles began to write about the 24-year-old's daily life. Scarlett's boyfriends made front-page news while her nightly outings became a hot subject within the tabloids. If that wasn't enough, her smokin' hot good looks landed her on top of several "Sexiest Women Alive" lists. Scarlett graced the cover of several men's magazines, she dated the most popular celebrities, and now Scarlett Johansson is one of the most popular actresses in Hollywood today.
