Scarlett Johansson
An avid fan of Tom Waits, US actress Scarlett Johansson recorded an album comprised entirely of Tom Waits covers, titled “Anywhere I Lay My Head".
The album was released on May 16, 2008, but was not widely recognized. She also recorded the single “Before My Time” to the documentary “Chasing Ice” (2012) and the song was eventually nominated for Best Original Song at The Oscars in 2013.
Subsequently, she was approached to perform the song at the show, but was prevented to do so, due to her commitments with “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” on Broadway.
