Born on Nov 22, 1984 in New York, New York, USA. Reportedly 5' 3".

If ever there was an untapped resource in Hollywood, it’s Scarlett Johansson.

Young, beautiful, and possessed of a husky-voiced, wise-beyond-her-years charisma that’s at once complemented and rivaled by her developed-beyond-her-years body, the Ghost World co-star seems either uninterested or unready to go down the time-honored cursus honorium of most new It Girls and potential It Girls — which is to say that, with the iffy exception of Eight Legged Freaks, tight-shirted (or no-shirted) teen exploitation flicks are thus far conspicuously absent from her résumé. But as Scarlett herself seems to be keen to reveal with her increasingly lower necklines at premieres lately, there’s a lot there to be exploited.

Still, unless she lands a good sex kitten role in a wide-release movie, both Scarlett and her exploitable assets will start to fade from the public’s memory.

Happily, that might be about to change, starting with Lost in Translation:

  • Scarlett, while not properly a sex kitten in the film, spends a good deal of it in her underwear — though the ass we see in the beginning probably belongs to “Miss Johansson’s stand-in” listed in the credits;

  • Scarlett, Bill Murray, and the film are all very good, and have been getting glowing reviews. Moreover, it’s not that hard to find at the theater. (Small releases might just as well be direct-to-video.)

My guess is that not many people will see the film, but between the critical kudos and the showcasing of her still barely exploited sex appeal in a non-b-movie, Scarlett may have, in the very least, earned herself a longer breathing space before she has to do another Eight Legged Freaks.

Also sprach Golem.

Um, really?

Scarlett Johansson’s bustline has all but disappeared over the last year or so, but if you’ve seen the new Iron Man 2 posters, her boobs are not only back, but bigger than they’ve ever been.... Read more

Scarlett Johansson’s boobs get lost in translation
Thursday, October 22, 2009
In The Last Temptation of Christ, an angelic Satan assures Jesus that “there is only one woman in the world, with different faces”. More and more, that One Woman seems content to use Scarlett Johansson’s face alone, whether as “the new face of Mango” or “the first celebrity face of champagne”. But not so much Scarlett’s famous physique. The reason for this dearth of décolletage? As became clear in Tokyo a couple of days ago, Scarlett’s face is all she has left.... Read more

Scarlett Johansson is the new face of Mango — but where’s the body?
Monday, July 13, 2009
Actress and de facto model Scarlett Johansson was christened the new face of Mango at a photo call today. Some photos from the upcoming campaign have already come out — but as anyone from L’Oreal to grabby-handed Isaac Mizrahi can tell you, something big is missing from them.... Read more

More “Scarlett Johansson Nude” Hype
Thursday, February 7, 2008
When The Black Dahlia was being promoted, there was a story put out that “critics have complained they found it difficult to concentrate following [Scarlett’s] raunchy scene”. That turned out to be a load of B.S. Now a similar story is being floated in Page Six to stir up interest in Vicky Cristina Barcelona. How many times do they expect us to keep buying this?...

Monday, January 15, 2007
Unlike the rest of the world (and probably the universe), I was never into Jenna Jameson, except, perhaps, as an interview personality. But Scarlett Johansson as Jenna Jameson? That I could get into. And now, it seems, it just might happen.... Read more

Scarlett Does Tom Waits
Tuesday, October 17, 2006
Don’t get me wrong — like most of the world, I love Scarlett Johansson. And like some of the world, I love Tom Waits. But like most of the world, while I accept it when someone famous as a singer decides to act (as when Tom Waits does), I usually roll my eyes whenever someone more famous as an actor decides to sing (Bruce Willis, Russell Crowe, Keanu Reeves, Kevin Bacon, and, more recently and laughably, Jared Leto)....

Tomayto, Tomahto, And Promiscuity
Tuesday, October 10, 2006
Chris Rock used to say in his act that, in relationships, people are “as loyal as their options”. And even though 21-year-old Scarlett Johansson is currently dating former Black Dahlia co-star Josh Hartnett, the recently crowned “Sexiest Woman Alive” is nothing if not a girl with a lot of options....

The Black Dahlia
Friday, September 15, 2006
The tedious, convoluted adaptation of James Ellroy’s novel, starring Josh Hartnett, Aaron Eckhart, Mia Kirshner, Scarlett Johansson, Hilary Swank (in a role wisely turned down by Eva Green), Rose McGowan (the film’s stand-out weak acting link), and a ton of others, opens today.... Read more

Scarlett’s Gratuitous Raunch in The Black Dahlia

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if this turns out to be BS put out by the makers of The Black Dahlia to help promote the film, but according to an item from ContactMusic.com:... Read more

Failing Upward
Sunday, July 30, 2006
A couple days ago, I read an article in Entertainment Weekly’s “Popwatch” about actors with “failing upward syndrome” — that is, actors who, despite their lack of hit movies to sustain any sort of fan base, continue to be handed bigger and better roles until Hollywood finally gives up on trying to prop them up as The Next Big Thing. Some of the names listed provoke little argument: Gretchen Mol, Kate Hudson, Penelope Cruz, Matthew McConaughey, Colin Farrell. One, namely Winona Ryder, gave me pause before I conceded (Heathers was a long, long time ago, after all). But Scarlett Johansson? Can it be true?... Read more

Scarlett Distracted in Traffic By Her Own Breasts
Saturday, July 30, 2005
Cleavage is an amazing thing. I was once in an Albertsons that practically shut down when a stripper strode in to get her groceries, for though her face was weathered and, quite frankly, a little rough on the eyes, her fake boobs were bouncing about so violently as she walked that they threatened to spill out of her skimpy spandex top with every stride, and men and women alike stopped dead in their tracks to furtively take in the show while pretending to look at something else. Apparently even the owners of such show-stopping boobs are not immune to their power.... Read more

The Island
Friday, July 22, 2005
The Island is basically Logan’s Run meets Coma: A sterile, sexless society of unwitting body part donors lives in blissful ignorance while waiting to win transportation out of their brave, dull world to the paradisiacal “Island”, the leadership’s cover for their sinister organ-snatching program. That is, until one clone (Ewan McGregor) discovers the Awful Truth and makes a two-hour, action-packed run for it, taking his supermodel platonic friend (Scarlett Johansson) with him.... Read more

Second Thoughts On Keeping Her Top On
Monday, June 13, 2005
Now that Scarlett Johansson is 20, it seems she’s ready to show the world what it’s been aching to see since Lost in Translation, she revealed in a Playboy interview. “It would just have to be the right film.”... Read more

Scarlett Says No to Nudity
Sunday, March 21, 2004
Even without her famous panties performance last year in Lost in Translation, it’s hardly surprising that Scarlett Johansson would be asked by one and all about the possibility of screen nudity now that she’s of age. But for the time being, at least, the prospects aren’t good — but not hopeless.... Read more
