Va-Va-VOOM! Are all the words that come to mind whilst viewing the breathtaking photoshoot of Scarlett for Harper’s Bazaar February 2009. Miss Johansson looks 100% movie star and ultra glamorous in the Valentine’s Day themed shoot. They’ve also debuted the actual newstand cover (before being the subscriber’s unlike previously noted). This is truly one of my all time favorites – yeah I know we say that a lot, but seriously!

Furthermore the article is in the Press Archive. Here are some of my favorite quotes:

“You know, I always try to keep a low profile, which probably makes me the most identifiable person in a crowd, It’s like, There goes that woman in a wig, mustache, and glasses.”

..

“I’m a major foodie, I love to eat. I make a really mean lasagna. Woody’s like, ‘You’re like an Italian housewife. Where did this come from?’”

..

“Every actor wants to work on a Western. I would run a brothel, like a madam or something. I’m working with what I’ve got. It’s only so long that people are going to want to see me in a corset, So I might as well do it now.”
