Not Lost in Translation

Scarlett Johansson has been chosen as the face of LVMH-controlled Louis Vuitton for its upcoming spring-summer advertising campaign. The 22-year-old star, who won critical acclaim for her performance in "Girl with a Pearl Earring" and has starred in Woody Allen's last two movies, will model the French house's spring-summer 2007 prêt-à-porter collection. Fellow New-York-based U.S. actress Uma Thurman has been among the other famous faces to have publicized Vuitton products.
