Scarlett Johannson had a big year in 2004, nominated
for Golden Globe awards as Best Actress in a Movie,
Drama, and Best Actress in a Movie, Comedy. She was
nominated for her performance in the title role in
Girl With a Pearl Earring, and as a young woman at
loose ends in Tokyo, in the award-winning Lost in
Translation. All this at the age of 19.
Johansson, born November 2, 1984, in New York, got
her start in movies when she was ten years old,
playing the daughter of John Ritter and Faith Ford
in Rob Reiner's North. The next year she played Sean
Connery's daughter in the legal thriller Just Cause,
and a year later she won acclaim for her role in the
low-budget sleeper, Manny and Lo. Her real
breakthrough performance came in 1998, when she
played "Grace" in Robert Redford's The Horse
Whisperer, a part that earned her a Hollywood
Reporter Young Star Award.
Johansson acted in a number of other films,
including The Man Who Wasn't There, An American
Rhapsody, and Eight Legged Freaks, before she made
the two films that got her the Golden Globe
nominations. She also made The Perfect Score and A
Love Song for Bobby Long in 2004.
