Although Scarlett Johansson began her career as a child star, she wasn't sure if she liked being on set. But everything changed when she landed her first film role in 1994's "North" when she was 8 years old, and the experience gave her the acting bug. "I was a big song-and-dance type of kid — you know, one of those kids with jazz hands," she recalled to Interview in 2013. "I liked to improvise and do weird vocal exercises."

Her role in "North" opened the doors to many more opportunities for Johansson, who solidified herself as the real deal in "The Horse Whisperer" in 1998. "I'd made probably five or six movies at that point — I was doing a lot of really emotional work — but I remember finding that place of realizing, "Oh, wait, I can manipulate this thing that I'm doing," she said to Interview. "I could start to see the colors of the scenes and to understand the nuances of what went into giving a performance. It was this realization that acting was more than just this natural thing — that it was something that you could craft."

Johansson continued her ascent when she was nominated for an award at the 1997 Independent Spirit Awards for her role in "Manny & Lo," per W Magazine, proving her worth in the industry before she was a teen.
