Her curves, her lips, her golden hair (natural or not, that is not important) and sensuality, including voice, have made Scarlett Johansson and Marilyn Monroe were compared himself not once, not twice. If until the first has been transformed in the second, without much effort this way, for the cosmetic line of a popular Italian fashion. But beyond the physical, both actresses alike? Do they parallel careers? You have already passed the first to the second?
The protagonist of Girl with a Pearl Earring movie opens this week and the fact that the crazy Coen brothers have become the diva of the cinema of the fifties in Hail, Caesar! It raises the question again of the similarity between the two . But not in the physical, which can be more or less obvious. Let's go a little further. Ask whether Johansson has passed at this stage of his career to a myth as Marilyn.
For starters, as well as any other criterion is age. Johansson is 31 years old . At his age he has got to be one of the best rated actresses of the Hollywood scene, gain a foothold beyond its appearance, demonstrating his talent for interpretation and pull at the box office. Oscar has yet to hear or speak, but he has been nominated four times for Golden Globe and won a BAFTA for Lost in Translation .
He has worked with the Coens, yes, but also with Sofia Coppola, with Joss Whedon, Luc Besson, Jon Favreau, Spike Jonze, Cameron Crowe (although We Bought a Zoo was a puncture), Woody Allen, Christopher Nolan, Brian De Palma, Peter Webber .... and, of course, with Robert Redford . It started in this film with just ten years in a boy named North and has not stopped. It began as a cute girl continued as pretty girl and excelled as an actress over time.
It is now the turn to Marilyn . The blonde raised passions in the fifties and triumphed on the undercard died at age 36. By now it is clear that it was a diva on and off the screen. And at 31 ? Age now contained in the passport Johansson. That was in 1957, which released The Prince and the Showgirl on the orders of no more and no less than Laurence Olivier.
On your resume then, Bus Stop , The Seven Year Itch , Show Business , River of No Return , How to Marry a Millionaire , Gentlemen Prefer Blondes , Falls , Eve ... Work had already worked with heavyweights in history film as Olivier, John Houston, Joseph L. Mankievicz, Howard Hawks and Billy Wilder , to name just a few.
