Scarlet Johanson used to be

In their family, the girls were named after the heroines of the film Gone with the Wind. When the little Scarlett was born, it became clear - far away! So stubbornly could only watch her screen "godmother". Want to know what was earlier Scarlett Johanson? Read about it below.

About what will be an actress, Scarlett Johanson knew already in three years. Painfully bright impression on the girl produced the film "Dirty Dancing" with Patrick Swayze in the title role. And she wanted to shine only in musicals. The girl was immediately recorded in the dance school, and my mother began to drive young talent for almost all the auditions that were announced in New York. After every failure followed the award - a hot dog. Sandwiches with sausages mother and daughter have crushed a lot, because the first roles in the theater and on television Scarlet received only five years later. They were followed by others.

The baby was so in demand that she did not study in an ordinary school, but in a special school for children working in show business (Professional Children's School in Manhattan). When in 1998 Scarlet starred in the movie "The Exorcist", in the credits she was called the debutante. But by that time she had eight roles only on the big screen - not counting the theater and TV!

Mom Scarlet, Melanie, to this day is her undisputed manager and supports any "crazy creative initiatives of the daughter." And as for the follies on the personal front, here Mrs. Johanson adheres to the most strict rules and more recently accompanied the overage child to the shooting: how could that not work! With her husband, the Dane Karsten, she divorced when Scarlet and her twin brother were 13 years old. According to the expression of the actress, they are not more like a black-haired, two-meter-old brother than Schwarzenegger and de Vito in Gemini. In addition, Scarlet has the eldest: sister Vanessa (also an actress), brother Adrian and half-brother Christian. Father Scarlet - an architect, a grandfather - quite a well-known writer Einer Johansson.

Scarlet has an incredibly low, hoarse voice. How many screen tests she failed because of this, how many tears she shed, how many directors who were interested in her "cold", rude! And at the end of last year she took and signed a contract with the studio Rhino Records and released her debut album. It turns out that hoarseness is not a drawback at all, but "unique vocal data". Once they hit the very Andrew Lloyd Webber, who offered Scarlet the title role in the legendary musical "Sounds of Music", but something went wrong with the maestro.

In 2003, the actress set out to enter New York University to study art, but fortunately she got a turn there from the gate. Otherwise, the starry hour of our heroine, dropped out just for this year, could not break through. After the film "The difficulties of translation" Scarlet woke up famous. To get used to the role, she spent several months in Hokkaido with her then boyfriend - what kind of study! For this role, the actress was nominated for the Golden Globe. From the proposals there was no release. Scarlet starred in the films "Girl with a Pearl Earring", "Island", "Match Point", "Sensation", "Black Orchid" ... It came to the point that the mother manager begged the daughter to take a time-out and rest, fearing that she will burst. Do not, however, think that our heroine agreed to any role. She refused to Tom Cruise himself, who called her "Mission Impossible - 3". And the superstar too insistently introduced her to Scientology friends ...

The first love overtook Scarlet at age 14. She suggested that the chosen one marry and give birth to a bunch of children. then it passed as suddenly as it began. Realizing that such a man as Scarlett Johanson would not be able to do before - she resigned herself to this. Now the actress repeats: "People are not fit for monogamy." At the end of 2006, Esquire magazine called Johanson "the sexiest woman alive." And 2006 brought Scarlet 6th place in the "hot hundred" of the magazine Maxim, 1st place among the 100 sexiest women on the planet FHM magazine. In 2007, the title of the sexiest celebrity of Playboy magazine was added to the flattering list. To the actress, all this fuss "does not start": "And what about my brains? Why does not anyone care about my heart? The kidneys, the gall bladder, at last! "Scarlet, by the way, is a shy. For nothing will not put on the street anything transparent or tight, justly believing that there are other ways to demonstrate beauty.

Scarlet figure is called ideal, despite the small (163 cm) height and some propensity to fullness. To fitness, to diets and other it concerns with irony. Above the crazy fashion for weight loss laughs: "No man will notice that you scored a couple of extra pounds. Why then suffer? "The main secret of beauty from Scarlett Johanson sounds like:" Self-confidence. " Having become famous, Scarlett gave herself an oath: never to change and remain the same New York girl. And although the press no-no, and there will be reports of "star fever" Johansson (she does not allow anyone to eat in her presence on the set), loved ones assure that Scarlett is true to the oath. She is the same as she used to be - she still goes by subway, she can dine in a cheap pizzeria and herself makes a manicure at three nights. There is no other time, because she, whatever one may say, is a star.
