Scarlett Johansson
 Since garnering critical acclaim for her role in 1998’s The Horse Whisperer with Robert Redford, Scarlett Johansson has moved to the top of many producers’ wish lists. A rare combination of sex appeal and genuine acting ability, Johansson’s “It Girl” status has only been enhanced by her Golden Globe-nominated roles in such acclaimed films as Lost in Translation, Girl With a Pearl Earring, and Woody Allen’s Match Point. Johnsson garnered a fair amount of press (and fanboy tongue-wagging) in 2005 when she revealed that while filming Michael Bay’s action thriller The Island with Ewan McGregor, she asked to be allowed to do her love scene topless (director Bay declined, citing his need to maintain a PG-13 rating). 
 Johansson has deliberately kept mum about her dating life, but has also said that “I don't think human beings are monogamous by nature.” After filming Lost in Translation with Bill Murray (which she prepared for by living in Japan with her then-boyfriend Faiz Ahmad), she said she couldn’t date anyone under 30, and soon was in a relationship with Benicio Del Toro, who is 17 years older than her. Since splitting up with Del Toro, she has been linked with Patrick Wilson, Jared Leto and her Black Dahlia costar, Josh Hartnett. The actress made headlines when she appeared in racy scenes with Justin Timberlake in his music video for "What Goes Around," and it was rumored that the two were together after his December 2006 split with Cameron Diaz. In May 2008, Johansson and beau Ryan Reynolds announced their engagement. 
 Scarlett Johansson’s first ever role was an uncredited skit she did on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" when she was only eight years old. She was eventually noticed for her role in The Horse Whisperer (the credits of which read “introducing Scarlett Johanson,” despite her seven prior movie roles) and quickly went on to Golden Globe nominated roles for Lost In Translation, The Girl in the Pearl Earring, and Match Point. She has also modeled for Calvin Klein’s Moment perfume, Louis Vuitton, and L’Oreal, and has her own line of Reebok athletic shoes debuting in spring 2007. In addition to Brian De Palma’s Black Dahlia, The Prestige, with Hugh Jackman and Nanny Diaries, Johansson just wrapped The Other Boleyn Girl with Natalie Portman/b> and Eric Bana.
