sister Vanessa who is also an actress, an elder brother Adrian, and her twin
brother Hunter is an actor, too. Johansson graduated from Professional
Children’s School, Manhattan, NYC where she trained for acting and theatre.
Ladder to Fame
Scarlett started her acting career in films in the late 1990s; however it was
her starlet performance in “The Horse Whisperer” in 1998, which gained her
notoriety and won her accolades. She proved her worth and maturity as an actress
with a dynamite performance that won her the Best Actress Award at the Venice
Film Festival for the 2003 feature film “Lost in Translation.”

career. Overnight, she gained importance and prominence as a well known and
exceptionally talented actress. In 2004, she got an offer to join the Academy of
Motion Picture Art and Sciences. This was the beginning of a new chapter for her

Golden Globe Award for her role in “A Love Song for Bobby Long.”
The best was yet to come and soon she found her name on a short list of
actresses for a leading role in "Mission Impossible III." However, due to a
scheduling problem, she had to let it go. But this was not the end of the road
for her and soon she was seen with Ewan McGregor in the Michael Bay-directed
futuristic action film, “The Island” as the main female lead. She has another
movie “The Prestige,” in the pipeline and slated for release in October 2006.
