n a decision that will make many a man sigh unhappily, Scarlett Johansson won't be bringing sexy back to Broadway. The actress with the pouty lips and gentle curves that GQ magazine once called "Babe of the Year" is determined to be a more naturalistic Maggie the Cat in a revival of Tennessee Williams' "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof." "I think her sexuality is often overplayed and over-appreciated. It's such an unimportant part of this story," Johansson says.
