SCARLETT JOHANNSON

Scarlett Johannson perfectly embodies the great melting pot nature of New York City – her father is a Danish architect and her mother an Ashkenazi Jew from the Bronx. They grew up with very little money, and her mother’s love for film served as a common point that they could rally around. Scarlett attended the prestigious Professional Childrens’ School and began acting in childhood. We first sat up and took notice with her role in the graphic novel adaptation Ghost World, but her real breakthrough came with 2003’s Lost In Translation, where she kept up with Bill Murray without breaking a sweat. Many more roles followed, as the Rubenesque beauty brought her creamy, milk-white skin and gorgeous body to the screen in films as diverse as Michael Bay’s The Island and Woody Allen’s Match Point. Throw in a music career and a ton of charity work and you have one class act who’s easy on the eyes.
