actress and singer. Johansson is the world's highest-paid actress, has made
multiple appearances in the Forbes Celebrity 100, and has a star on the Hollywood

stage in an Off-Broadway play as a child. Johansson made her film debut in the
fantasy comedy North (1994), and was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for
Manny & Lo (1996). She gained further recognition for her work in The Horse

Johansson shifted to adult roles in 2003 with her performances in Lost in

Earring. She was nominated for four Golden Globe Awards for these films, and for
playing an estranged teenager in the drama A Love Song for Bobby Long (2004), and a

this period, include the mystery thriller The Prestige (2006) and the comedy-drama
Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008). She also released two albums: Anywhere I Lay My

In 2010, Johansson debuted on Broadway in a revival of A View from the Bridge,

which won her a Tony Award for Best Featured Actress. Later that year, she began
portraying Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. She voiced an intelligent
computer operating system in the 2013 comedy-drama Her, played an alien in the 2013

is also the highest-grossing actress of all time in North America in nominal dollar
