| Total Fan   | Scarlett Johansson #5 - She's in Good Company  Welcome to the Fifth Scarlett Johansson Thread  Scarlett Johansson was born in Manhattan, New York on November 22, 1984. She was named after the Gone With the Wind heroine Scarlett O'Hara. Scarlett has a twin brother, older sister, and older brother. Although she is a native New Yorker, she currently lives in L.A. She has done work as an actress and model and now music.  2010 Iron Man 2 2009 The Spirit 2008 He's Just Not That Into You 2008 Vicky Cristina Barcelona 2008 The Other Boleyn Girl 2007 The Nanny Diaries 2006 The Prestige 2006 The Black Dahlia 2006 Scoop 2005 The Island 2005 Match Point 2004 In Good Company 2004 The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie 2004 A Good Woman 2004 A Love Song for Bobby Long 2004 The Perfect Score 2003 Girl with a Pearl Earring 2003 Lost in Translation 2002 Eight Legged Freaks 2001 An American Rhapsody 2001 Ghost World 2001 The Man Who Wasn't There 1999 My Brother the Pig 1998 The Horse Whisperer 1997 Home Alone 3 1997 Fall 1996 Manny & Lo 1996 If Lucy Fell 1995 Just Cause 1994 North  Music Career In 2005, Johansson was considered for the role of Maria in Andrew Lloyd Webber's West End revival of The Sound of Music, though the role ultimately went to newcomer Connie Fisher after she won BBC's talent show How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria? Released on May 8, 2006, Johansson sang the track "Summertime" for Unexpected Dreams – Songs from the Stars, a non-profit collection of songs recorded by Hollywood actors. She performed with The Jesus And Mary Chain for a special Coachella Reunion Show in Indio, California in April 2007. In 2007, she appeared as the leading lady in Justin Timberlake's music video for "What Goes Around.../...Comes Around," nominated in August 2007 for video of the year at the MTV Video Music Awards. The video sparked rumors of a romance between Johansson and Timberlake. In the summer of 2007, Johansson spent about a month in Maurice, Louisiana recording an album at Dockside Studio, a rural 12-acre (49,000 m2) complex. The album, consisting of one original song and ten cover versions of Tom Waits songs, was produced by Dave Sitek of TV on the Radio and features David Bowie, members from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Celebration. Released on May 20, 2008, it was entitled Anywhere I Lay My Head. Reviews of the album were mixed to somewhat positive. Rolling Stone commented that her "voice is unremarkable and her pitch sometimes unsteady; she's a faintly goth Marilyn Monroe lost in a sonic fog." Conversely, some critics found it to be "surprisingly alluring", "a bravely eccentric selection", and "a brilliant album" with "ghostly magic". The album was named the "23rd best album of 2008" by NME and peaked at #1 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart and #126 on the Billboard 200 chart. Of her album, Johansson said, "I had this golden opportunity to record and thought I would do maybe an album of standards, because I’m not a songwriter. I’m a vocalist." Johansson said for her recording she "wanted to have space and [she] wanted to be in a remote place where all of us could just be ourselves and not worry about anyone trying to listen in or get in on that." Johansson said in an interview that she started listening to Tom Waits when she was 11 or 12. Of Tom Waits, Johansson said in an interview, "his melodies are so beautiful, his voice is so distinct and I had my own way of doing Tom Waits songs." In December 2008, MTV reported Johansson plans to follow-up Anywhere I Lay My Head with an album of all original music, saying, “I don’t think I’d do covers, so it’d be a project that I have to dedicate myself to. I feel like that’s something for the future.” In 2009, Johansson covered Jeff Buckley's "Last Goodbye" for the soundtrack of He's Just Not That Into You. Due for release on September 8, 2009, she and singer/songwriter Pete Yorn recorded a collaborative album, Break Up, inspired by Serge Gainsbourg's duets with Brigitte Bardot.

| Gorgeous photos! Anyone know why she wasn't at the Oscar's last night? I am on the fans list, but with my old moniker of "Ms_Melika", would you edit the list to show my new name of "Melika"? Thanks, Thanks for voting and choosing my thread title suggestion, if anyone can think of something even better, I'm all for it! I was drawing a blank when trying to think of titles. __________________ | |||
