Jewish actress Scarlett Johansson broke a Hollywood record last month, becoming the highest-grossing movie star of all time, according to the Jewish Chronicle.
Johansson beat the record after starring in Jurassic World Rebirth.
The film, which was released in July, has already reportedly taken in over $750 million, according to Variety.
Throughout her 21-year career as an actress, Johansson has reportedly made £11.3 billion.
“I’ve been trying to get into this franchise in any possible way for over 10 years. I’m like, ‘I’ll die in the first five minutes! I can get eaten by whatever! I’ll do the craft service!’ I’ll do anything for it,” she reportedly said at Comicbook earlier this year. “The fact that it’s happened in this way at this time just is actually unbelievable. I can’t believe it.”
Scarlett Johansson's Jewish history
Johansson appeared on the PBS show “Finding Your Roots,” where she broke down while learning how her family suffered during the Holocaust.
Her maternal great-grandfather, Saul Schlamberg, moved alone in 1910 from Poland to New York, where he lived a life of poverty selling bananas to survive. The many Schlamberg left behind, his brother's family of 10, were all murdered or deported during the 1930s and 1940s.
“It’s crazy to imagine that Saul would be on the other side, selling bananas on Ludlow Street, and how different it would be being in America at that time,” Johansson continues. “The fate of one brother versus the other. It makes me feel more deeply connected to that side of myself, that side of my family. I didn’t expect that.”
