Los Angeles, Oct 22 (IANS): Actress Scarlett Johansson has made it to Barbara Walters' list of 10 most fascinating people of 2014.

Walters is in the process of finalising her list and celebrities have another two months to make an impact, but the journalist has already short-listed a few names, eonline.com reports.

And Johansson is said to be the first prominent name in entertainment to make it to the list.

This year has been quite eventful for the 29-year-old beauty. In addition to debuting the fabulous pixie cut, the actress welcomed a baby girl with fiancé Romain Dauriac in September.

The new mom already has big projects lined up - from upcoming "Avengers" movie to small screen project "The Custom of the Country".

Apart from Johansson, Oprah Winfrey, Chelsea Handler and Neil Patrick Harris will chat with the journalist one-on-one on her show "Barbara Walters Presents: The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2014".

"I was absolutely delighted when ABC approached me to do another year of '10 Most Fascinating People'. I know we said last year was our last, but there are just too many fascinating people out there…and you never pass up the opportunity to interview Oprah, Neil, Chelsea or Scarlett," Walters said in a statement.
