Scarlett Johansson: A View From the Bridge

 
Gearing up for her Broadway run, Scarlett Johansson was all smiles at a photocall for the upcoming Broadway revival of Arthur Miller's "A View From The Bridge" in New York City on Wednesday (December 9).

Held at Etcetera Etcetera Restaurant, the "Iron Man 2" actress posed for pictures and chatted with press alongside co-stars Liev Schreiber and Jessica Hecht.

Meanwhile, Miss Johansson is encouraging all of us to explore alternative stocking stuffers this holiday season from Oxfam Unwrapped. Example gift pledges include "buying items such as a goat for a needy family in the developing world, training a teacher and school books."

Scarlett tells, "I spent an amazing day with some young girls at an Oxfam-funded school in Uttar Pradesh. They were all from the lowest Dalit caste, but their education had filled them with ambition, self worth and hope for the future."

Miss Johansson adds, "Every child deserves that kind of start in life - and Oxfam Unwrapped gifts like desks and chairs, school equipment and even the school buildings themselves can provide this. And that's why I am asking for us all to give these kinds of gifts this Christmas."
