Johansson Fuels 'South Pacific' Rumors (Read the LAST LINE)
IMDB ^ | April 16, 207 | Hildy

Posted on 04/16/2007 9:08:14 AM PDT by Hildy

Hollywood beauty Scarlett Johansson has fueled reports she will star in the New York City production of South Pacific, after declaring her love for the musical during an interview. Last month, the New York Post reported Johansson was in talks to play US Navy nurse Nellie Forbush in a revival of the musical at the Lincoln Center, which is scheduled to open in January 2008. In an interview with the latest UK edition of Glamour magazine, Johansson admits she's a huge fan of the Rodgers And Hammerstein show, but she has a problem with the heroine's surname, which shares a similarity to President George W. Bush. She says, "I've thought about it (playing Nellie). Wouldn't it be great? Though I'd have to be named 'For Bush', which I don't think I could stomach."

Liberalism is a mental illness. Proof of it is shown every day.

Sigh. Scarlett, it’s better to be quiet and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Can she sing or dance? (I understand the general consensus is that she can’t act.)

I thought at one time she was one of the most beautiful actresses in the business.

I saw a picture of her in Vanity Fair taken by Anne Liebowicz that made her look like a corpse with white skin and brown lips...and another even less flattering image on the front of some magazine.

Then she opens her mouth. So sad, so much beauty wasted, so much mental capacity lost.

She claims that she has herself tested for HIV every six months, and that everyone should.

She is so vigilant about her physical health - even to the point of annnouncing to the world that she has no morals.

yet she is obviously suffering from an undiagnosed case of BDS.

So much so, that she chain smokes.

Why on earth should everyone be evaluated every six months for HIV?????

You mean her “previously undiagnosed case of BDS...”

Or at least, should be.

Good point. I continue to be completely underwhelmed by her acting. I thought she was completely upstaged by all her costars in Match Point, and in The Island, she was terrible in Scoop, in Black Dahlia, and she sleptwalked through Girl With A Pearl Earring.

Basically, the Hollywood formula is to pair her with a British leading man (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Colin Firth, Ewan MacGregor, Hugh Jackman) who can act well enough to carry her through the film as she displays her figure.

It's a winning combo and I have zero problem with it, but she doesn't seem to understand her role.

In her rarified world "everyone" is like her: a well-off 20something who sleeps with anyone that tickles his or her fancy.

She lives in a bubble.

If you read the novel “Tales from the South Pacific” you will learn that Nellie was quite the tart.....along with being racist.
