Scarlett,
This may be crazy, but it's worth a shot. I only have one famous(very famous) friend, and I asked her about getting in touch with you. She said just do what you always do, you will find a way. Ok, here's my way! Not going to go into too many details (spoil the first and possibly second+ dates) but I was born just outside NYC in Yonkers, NY to two incredible parents. Only child, so yes, I was spoiled, but taught a lot of valuable lessons as my parents allowed me to make mistakes. Ok, reason I'm writing this. I fell in love (not literally) with you the first time I saw you in The Horse Whisperer. Have not seen all your work, kinda busy opening bars and restaurants in NYC but I would love to have a nice simple dinner, with cheese of course! If you are going to be in NYC anytime soon, and are willing to give an average guy a chance(well, maybe a bit above average but very humble) I would love to have a bite with you. Not sure how this works, but you have my email, and I would be nice to hear from you. Otherwise, I understand, and I wish you nothing but the best.
Take care,
Christian

Dear Ms. Johansson,
I coach swimming at a large public high school in Brooklyn. Today I cut out a beautiful photo of you and put it on a board on the other side of the pool. The boys on my swimming team dove in the pool and swam to the other side. It was so motivational. You should have seen how much you are appreciated. I told them that if they worked very hard, perhaps one day they would get an actual visit from you. I know that might not be possible, but you never know.

Ms. Johansson,
I read that you would like to open a bakery; I know this sounds crazy, I am not a stalker. I am married and have a three year old. It has been my dream to open a bakery with traditional baked goods, wedding cakes, but also healthy,savory food. My husband can barely take care of us and my son has to live with my in-laws, I have health problems and was not able to have kids, but thanks to a miracle I am graced to have my little angel. I am very passoniate about this and would give anything in the world to make it come true. Most people would kill not to have to work, but I would kill to have my own shop. I know this will probably never get to you, I just wanted to try. I have been following you for a while and my husband and I love your work. Good Luck and take care.
