Johansson made her film debut in the 1994 film North and was later nominated for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Female Lead for her performance in 1996's Manny & Lo. Johansson rose to fame with her roles in 1998's The Horse Whisperer and 2001's Ghost World. She made the transition to adult roles with her performances in Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation, for which she won a BAFTA Award, and Girl with a Pearl Earring, both of which earned her Golden Globe Award nominations in 2003. A role in A Love Song for Bobby Long earned her a third Golden Globe for Best Actress nomination. Following an appearance in The Island, Johansson garnered a fourth Golden Globe nomination, for Best Supporting Actress, for her role in Woody Allen's Match Point. She followed that with another Allen film, Scoop, with Hugh Jackman. A role in Brian de Palma's film noir The Black Dahlia was followed by a second role opposite Hugh Jackman in The Prestige, also starring Christian Bale. Following a 2007 appearance in The Nanny Diaries, Johansson starred in the 2008 films The Other Boleyn Girl, opposite Natalie Portman and Eric Bana, and the Woody Allen-directed film, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, with Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz. She appeared in He's Just Not That into You (2009) and as the anti-heroine Natasha Romanoff in Iron Man 2 (2010), with Robert Downey, Jr. and Samuel L. Jackson. Johansson won the 2010 Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Play for her part in A View From the Bridge. On May 20, 2008, Johansson debuted as a vocalist on her first album, Anywhere I Lay My Head, which included cover versions of Tom Waits songs. Her second album, Break Up, with Pete Yorn was released in September 2009. 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 (who appeared in the film Manny Scarlett Johansson 2 [7] [8] & Lo with Scarlett); and an older half-brother, Christian, from her father's first marriage. Johansson grew up in a household with "little money,"[4] and with a mother who was a "film buff."[9] She and her brother, Hunter, attended P.S. 41 in Greenwich Village in elementary school.[10] Johansson began her theater [11] training by attending and graduating from Professional Children's School in Manhattan in 2002. Acting career Early roles Johansson began acting during childhood, after her mother started taking her to auditions.[4] She made her film debut at age nine, as John Ritter's daughter in the 1994 fantasy comedy North.[1] Following minor roles in the 1995 film Just Cause, as the daughter of Sean Connery and Kate Capshaw, and If Lucy Fell in 1996, she played the role of Amanda in Manny & Lo (1996). Her performance in Manny & Lo garnered a nomination for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Lead Female,[1] and positive reviews, one noting, "[the film] grows on you, largely because of the charm of ... Scarlett Johansson",[12] while San Francisco Chronicle critic Mick LaSalle commented on her "peaceful aura", and wrote, "If she can get through puberty with that aura undisturbed, she could become an important [13] actress." After appearing in minor roles in Fall and Home Alone 3 in 1997, Johansson garnered widespread attention for her performance in the 1998 film The Horse Whisperer, directed by Robert Redford.[1] She received a nomination for the Chicago Film Critics Association Award for Most Promising Actress for the film.[14] [15] In 1999, she appeared in both My Brother the Pig and the neo-noir Coen brothers film The Man Who Wasn't There. Also in 1999, she made an appearance in the music video for Mandy Moore's single, "Candy".[16] Although the film was not a box office success,[17] she received praise for her breakout role[18] in the 2001 film, Ghost World.[19] [20] Credited with "sensitivity and talent [that] belie her age",[21] Johansson went on to win the Chlotrudis[22] and Toronto Film Critics Association Awards for Best Supporting Actress[23] and was nominated for the Online Film Critics Society Award for Best Supporting Actress.[24] In 2002, Johansson appeared in the comedy-horror thriller Eight Legged Freaks, starring David Arquette. Transition to adult roles Scarlett Johansson made the transition from teen roles to adult roles, with two such roles in 2003.[25] In the Sofia Coppola film Lost in Translation, she played Charlotte, an abandoned young wife, opposite Bill Murray.[26] [27] Roger Ebert wrote that he loved the film and described the performances of Johansson and Murray as "wonderful".[28] Entertainment Weekly wrote of Johansson's "embracing, restful serenity",[29] and the New York Times said, "At 18, the actress gets away with playing a 25-year-old woman by using her husky voice to test the level of acidity in the air ... Ms. Johansson is not nearly as accomplished a performer as Mr. Murray, but Ms. Coppola gets around this by using Charlotte's simplicity and curiosity as keys to her character".[30] Johansson won the BAFTA Award[31] and the Boston Society of Film Critics Award for Best Actress[32] and was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress[33] for the role. She received nominations from a number of film critic organizations, including the Broadcast Film Critics Association,[34] the Chicago Film Critics Association,[35] the Phoenix Film [36] [37] Critics Society and the Chlotrudis Awards. Johansson played Griet in Peter Webber's Girl with a Pearl Earring. While noting, "Audiences feel as if they are spying on a moment of artistic inspiration when painter Vermeer creates the title work", USA Today praised her, suggesting, "[She] is having a banner year that Oscar voters should recognize."[38] In his review for the New Yorker, Anthony Lane said, "What keeps Webber‘s movie alive is the tenseness of the setup ... and, above all, the presence of Johansson. She is often wordless and close to plain onscreen, but wait for the ardor with which she can summon a closeup and bloom under its gaze; this is her film, not Vermeer‘s, all the way."[39] Owen Gleiberman, for Entertainment Weekly, wrote of her "nearly silent performance", observing, "The interplay on her face of fear, Scarlett Johansson 3 ignorance, curiosity, and sex is intensely dramatic."[40] She was nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Drama[33] and the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role.[31] She was also nominated by the London [41] [36] [42] Film Critics' Circle, the Phoenix Film Critics Society and the British Independent Film Awards.
