Scarlett Johansson
Scarlett Johansson is Hollywood's highest-grossing actress, a two-time Oscar nominee, and the face of Black Widow, and the internet never stops searching for her.
Scarlett Johansson: The Essentials
Scarlett Ingrid Johansson was born on November 22, 1984, in New York City. She started acting as a child and broke through as a serious dramatic talent in Lost in Translation (2003) and Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003). She has since become one of the most commercially bankable stars on the planet, largely thanks to her decade-plus run as Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Beyond blockbusters, Johansson has racked up critical respect too, she received two simultaneous Academy Award nominations in 2020 for Marriage Story (Best Actress) and Jojo Rabbit (Best Supporting Actress), a rare feat. She is also an accomplished stage actress, having won a Tony Award for her Broadway debut in A View from the Bridge (2010).
Her personal life draws nearly as much search traffic as her films. She has been married three times, to Ryan Reynolds, to Romain Dauriac, and currently to comedian and Saturday Night Live star Colin Jost. Each chapter of her romantic life has generated enormous public interest.
Johansson is also known for her legal assertiveness: she famously sued Disney in 2021 over the streaming release of Black Widow, a case that settled out of court, and she sued OpenAI in 2024 alleging that its ChatGPT voice closely resembled her own voice without permission, a case that put AI voice ethics in global headlines.
