Hollywood’s Top Young Actress Scarlett Johansson

This raspy voiced twenty-three year old vixen has already garnered three Golden Globe nominations, as well as two British Academy nominations, for her various roles thus far. Her film choices have largely been of the offbeat, independent type, although she was cast in Mission Impossible 3 before dropping out after the project was retooled and postponed. Still, despite the lack of big budget or high profile movies to her resume, she’s draw the attention of critics and audiences alike.
Breakout Role: Ghost World, the 2001 critically acclaimed Terry Zwigoff cult dramedy, where she plays the best friend of Thora Birch’s Enid. The two social outsiders play a prank on an older gentlemen, after which Enid befriends the strange fellow.
Biggest Hit: The Prestige, the Christopher Nolan directed film about rival magicians where Johansson gets caught up in the middle of the high stakes rivalry. First as an assistant to Hugh Jackman’s Robert Angier, and then later as assistant/spy to Christian Bale’s Alfred Borden.

Upcoming Feature: The Spirit, a crime drama based on a comic book series of the same name hits theaters this Christmas season.
