HER

MANNY & LO

Before she was a blonde bombshell, she was an adorable child star – playing a runaway in this 1996 film.

UNDER THE SKIN

GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING

ScarJo was as pretty as a picture in this 2003 film inspired by the classic painting by Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer.

Johansson plays magician Hugh Jackman’s assistant and lover in this 2006 film.  When he realizes she has betrayed him, I wonder if he considers sawing her in half?
