The successful young actress, whose critically-acclaimed roles in "Lost in Translation," "Girl with a Pearl Earring" and "Match Point" have solidified her place among the ranks of the top American film stars, was chosen to represent Mango for "embodying the ideal Mango woman: chic, independent and cosmopolitan... Johansson exudes a confident demeanor while remaining youthful and playful," the company said in a statement.
