Scarlett Johansson parents

Melanie Sloan (mother)

Year of Birth: 1951

Melanie is the mother of the sexy actress and she is one of the biggest inspirations to her daughter. One major way was when Johansson was a young girl; her mother’s marriage to Karsten left a huge impression on the actress of what marriage should be and how much effort one needs to put in for things to go smooth regardless. They had weekly dates to keep their romance and communication fresh every now and then. This did not work for so long since the Johansson parents divorced when Scarlett was 13.

She was a Film producer but also the manager of the Hitchcock (2012) actress. Melanie was married to Karsten Johansson till their divorce in 1997 when Scarlett was 13. Melanie managed her daughter’s career for so many years. While she was the actress’s manager, her take home was 10% of whatever her daughter earns. Sadly for her in 2010, Johansson fired her mom and manager of 15 years; this left a huge financial hole in Sloan’s income. Since then Melanie has been on a struggling financial level since losing her daughter as a client.

They collaborated as voice actors on Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland audio book. This was the first time they had the opportunity to act together.
