Scarlett Johansson Wins Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Play
I was fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to see A View From The Bridge with Scarlett Johansson and Liev Schreiber this spring. After seeing Schreiber in Defiance, I knew there was more of an actor than I previously gave him credit for. But the real reason I was interested in seeing this play was for Scarlett Johansson. Her work in Match Point and The Other Boleyn Girl, not to mention Lost in Translation, has really established her as an adult actress. That’s why when I learned that she had never done a broadway show before, and that she was working with Liev Schreiber, I had to see it for myself. And I have to admit: she deserves the Tony for Best Actress and that is just what she got tonight. Kudos, Scarlett.
