Scarlett Johansson
born: 22-11-1984
birth place: New York, USA

In June 2004, Johansson was invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS).

She appeared as Francesca Curtis in the teenage comedy/crime “The Perfect Score” (2004). This was followed by her role as Parsy Will, with John Travolta, in “A Love Song for Bobby Long” (2004). Also released that year was “A Good Woman” (2004), in which Johansson played Lady Windermere in this screen adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s play ‘Lady Windermere’s Fan’.

She was the voice of Mindy in “The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie” (2004), where she worked with David Hasselhoff, one of her childhood heartthrobs. “In Good Company” (2004) brought her the role of Alex Foreman, the type of woman Johansson says she would be if she had not chosen to be act: “…very cool, very relaxed, and very honest”.

The futuristic “The Island” (2005), set in the mid 21st-century, saw Johansson playing Jordan Two-Delta, with Ewan McGregor and Steve Buscemi. She and McGregor reportedly found the rigours of all the running and action of the movie agonising and discovered muscles they had forgotten about.

Johansson was directed by Woody Allen for her role of Nola Rice in “Match Point” (2005), shot entirely in England, and also starring Jonathan Rhys-Meyers. Also that year was “The Black Dahlia” (2005), directed by Brian De Palma, an adaptation of the James Ellroy novel about a 1947 Hollywood murder. In it, Johansson starred as Kay Lake, with Hilary Swank and Josh Hartnett.

Johansson has proved her natural acting ability time and again and she is recognised as one of the most promising young Hollywood actors. She is not in it for the money, but rather to build a career. This is, and always has been, her life’s passion. There is no doubt that she will continue to select extraordinary roles and continue to play them with sensitivity and depth.
