There's already some crazy commenting going on.
Although I do agree that it's silly for her to say she "pounded the pavement" since she's been a star since she was like ten.

I don't think she was a child star. A working child actress, yes, but hardly a star like the likes of Drew Barrymore or Jodie Foster. So she had to go to auditions. I think that's what she meant by "pounding the pavement." Looking for work. The scripts didn't come to her.

I guess it's just the connotation that it brings up in my head, which is probably my issue not hers. It just seems like she's talking about a struggle, and I guess to some degree it was, but it's not like she had to pound the pavement while working a day job to support herself. Or ever had any real job.

she's been in at least one major motion picture every year since she was 10. That is not pounding the pavement.

Don, clearly you have an axe to grind with Scarlett. She was a child actor-she most definitely "pounded the pavement." Children who act make huge sacrifices, as do their families. Her being a successful working actress, doesn't mean she wasn't auditioning for all those films she was in. Give us a break.
Jen Cody has worked steadily in musicals. I guess she never pounded the pavement either.

Betty, I have a hard time understanding how you don't see that "pounding the pavement" and making a film a year at several 10's of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars per film is equal to pounding the pavement and working steadily in musicals on bway where the most you make in the ensemble is 17-1800 bucks a week.
give me a break, betty.

This is part of the total interview ( not the abridged one last week) --
https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/BWW_Exclusive_Scarlett_Johansson_Part_2_20010101
She says that she is not good enough for a stage musical ( but would consider a movie musical)...and talks about her love for musicals ( and composers like Rodgers and Hammerstein, Gershwin, et al), including seeing Sunset Boulevard 3 times. She also talks about spending a lot of time singing show tunes with Hugh Jackman when they did two movies together.
Hey, Mr. Producer -- how about a stage or a movie musical for the duo?

Don, I have hard time understanding how you don't see that the girl has been working since she was a small child and you somehow want to erase her years of training, auditioning and working for peanuts prior to be cast in films regularly.
According to her she grew up with very little money and struggled for years, even when making films. You seem to have rose colored glasses on in regards to her success and clearly you hate the woman, so why don't you just own that. You don't want to give her any slack or credit.
Also, I have to disagree. She wasn't a star when she was 10. She began working in noteworthy films but she was not A-list by any means, nor was she a star.
Also, she is an incredible actress-very moving and poignant in her performances. There is a reason she has stood out all these years and built a name for herself.

oh betty,
i didn't say she was a star at 10. and i didn't say i hate the woman. and I didn't say she was talentless. i just find it less than genuine when talking about her "struggles" in the business and comparing them to NY theater actor's struggles. And to read how sympathetic she is to that struggle and closing a successful show, not because it was time to move on, but because she "needed to make some money."
and i agree with that other commenter, that the statement she made about Morgan Spector also seems suspect, since he wasn't the directors choice.

Although the Scarjo Snap sounds like a dance from an old movie, doesn't it?

Phyllis, I think Orfeh sang "The Scarjo Snap" at this year's BC/EFA Easter Bonnet. It was a modified "bend and snap" with an elbow nudge knocking over a Broadway veteran to pick up a Tony Award.
The crowd loved it, except Hunter and Jen. Meredith Patterson wasn't there. She was auditioning for an Olive Garden commercial.
