At 27, Miss Johansson may seem quite a bit younger than the usual recipients of the Walk Of Fame stars, but she is actually a 20 year veteran of the industry, appearing in film and tv since she was a child.
When asked how this all came about Johansson said..
“I don't know, actually. I think you're nominated. There's a committee... and, I guess, they nominate you and then you receive a star, which is very exciting for me. I was totally thrilled, of course, because I feel very nostalgic about that kind of thing. It's a wonderful tradition and I felt like I finally made it. I really did! I was, like, ‘Wow! I've been in the industry for twenty years and I've worked since I was a kid.’ It felt like a big milestone.”
A big week for Johansson then, who of course stars in Marvel's
The Avengers which opens Stateside in a couple of days.
