Hollywood starlet Scarlett Johansson is convinced her rise to superstardom is because of her trademark husky voice.

The 19-year-old LOST IN TRANSLATION OSCAR nominee claims her rasping tones always shocked movie bosses at auditions.

Scarlett says, "I've always had this voice since I was a young kid.

"When I'd read my lines at those childhood auditions, everyone would always say, 'Do you have a sore throat?' and I'd go, 'No, I always sound like this.'"
