Scarlett Johansson gained global recognition for playing the role of Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow in Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. She is not new to the action genre but before gaining prominence for the same, she has been acclaimed for her work as a child and teen actor. During her teens, she played the role in a forgotten 1997 film, Home Alone 3.
She played the role of Molly Pruitt, Alex’s older sister in Home Alone 3. While their role perfectly displays the typical sibling bond, the character turns out to be a hidden gem later in the movie. Her sincerity in reflecting every emotion of what her character felt made her stand out despite having a supporting role. While this role was not something that gave her a significant push in the acting world, it did strengthen her portfolio by bringing out her potential as a then-promising star.
