Mike Walker Reports… 32-year-old Scarlett Johansson was all smiles when an elderly fan spotted her in NYC and gushed, “Oh, my — you’re my favorite actress of all time!”

Said My SpyWitness: “Scarlett was thrilled the old babe was such a huge fan, gushing how her ‘Bingo pals will go crazy’ when she tells them she’d met such a big Hollywood star — saying they’ll never believe her.

“So Scarlett sweetly offered an autograph and even a selfie!

“Senior Fan, however, said she didn’t have a ‘picture phone’ and asked if she could be snail-mailed a photo.

“Then she added, ‘Can you also get your handsome husband, Warren Beatty, to send one, too? I’ve loved him ever since ‘Splendor in the Grass’ with Natalie Wood! Now that’s a movie star!’

“Scarlett immediately realized she’d been mistaken for Annette Bening, who’s 58 and married to 79-year-old Warren.

“But she just couldn’t break the old gal’s heart — so promised to try her best!”
