Emma Stone Early Career
Stone made her debut on television portraying Laurie Partridge on VH1’s talent competition reality show “In Search of the New Partridge Family” in 2004. The show was later renamed “The New Partridge Family,” but unfortunately, it didn’t get picked up. Following this, she had a guest appearance on a HBO series “Lucky Louie.” Stone tried out for the role of Claire Bennet in the NBC sci-fi drama “Heroes” in 2007, which she later described as a low point in her career. Despite her efforts, she didn’t land the role. In April of the same year, she appeared as Violet Trimble in the Fox action drama “Drive,” which was canceled after airing only seven episodes.
Stone transitioned to the big screen with her debut in Greg Mottola’s comedy “Superbad” (2007), where she played alongside Michael Cera and Jonah Hill. To fit her character’s description, she dyed her hair red. Although her performance was noted as “appealing” by a reviewer for The Hollywood Reporter, the role itself was criticized for its writing. Stone described her experience in her first film as “amazing” but also notably distinct from her subsequent experiences. “Superbad” was commercially successful and earned her the Young Hollywood Award for Exciting New Face.
In 2008, Stone starred in the comedy “The Rocker” as Amelia Stone, the serious bass guitarist in a band. She learned to play the bass for the role, which was challenging for her as she typically portrays characters with a more lighthearted demeanor. The film received negative reviews and didn’t perform well at the box office. However, her next film, the romantic comedy “The House Bunny,” fared better commercially. In it, she played the president of a sorority and performed a cover of the Waitresses’ song “I Know What Boys Like.” While reviews for the film were mixed, Stone’s performance was praised, with some critics noting her potential to become a star.
Stone appeared in three films in 2009. She starred alongside Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner, and Michael Douglas in “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past,” a romantic comedy loosely based on Charles Dickens’s “A Christmas Carol.” Despite negative reviews, the film performed moderately well commercially. Her most financially successful venture that year was “Zombieland,” a horror comedy, which grossed over $102.3 million. In “Zombieland,” she portrayed a con artist surviving a zombie apocalypse, a role that received mixed reviews. Additionally, she appeared in “Paper Man,” a comedy-drama that failed to impress critics.
Emma Stone 2010 to 2013 Career
Stone provided the voice for an Australian Shepherd in “Marmaduke” (2010), based on the long-running comic strip by Brad Anderson. Her breakthrough came the same year with her leading role in “Easy A,” teen comedy. Partially inspired by Nathaniel Hawthorne’s novel “The Scarlet Letter” (1850), the film follows Olive Penderghast (Stone), a high school student caught up in a humorous sex scandal fueled by false rumors of her promiscuity. Stone was drawn to the script even before production began, finding it refreshingly different and amusing. She eagerly pursued the project and met with Gluck to express her enthusiasm.
Stone’s audition early in the process secured her a spot in the film. “Easy A” received positive reviews from critics, with Stone’s performance highlighted as a standout. Stone earned nominations for a BAFTA Rising Star Award and a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy, ultimately winning the MTV Movie Award for Best Comedic Performance.
In October 2010, Stone hosted an episode of NBC’s sketch comedy “Saturday Night Live,” during which she participated in a sketch highlighting her resemblance to Lindsay Lohan.

Based on Kathryn Stockett’s novel set in 1960s Jackson, Mississippi, the film tells the story of Eugenia “Skeeter” Phelan. Eugenia is an aspiring writer learning about the lives of African-American maids. Stone expressed her desire to work on the film to Taylor, who found her awkward and dorky yet perfect for the role. She immersed herself in the character, mastering a Southern accent and delving into Civil Rights Movement literature and films.
Stone turned down a role in “21 Jump Street” to star in Marc Webb’s 2012 film “The Amazing Spider-Man,” a reboot of “Spider-Man” series. Portraying Gwen Stacy, the love interest of the titular superhero (played by Andrew Garfield), Stone returned to her natural blonde hair color for the role. Despite not being familiar with the comics, she felt a responsibility to understand the character. Stone received multiple nominations for her role, including at the People’s Choice Awards. Additionally, she voiced a character in the crime-based video game “Sleeping Dogs,”. The voicing earned her a Spike Video Game Award for Best Performance by a Human Female.

Stone received the Favorite Movie Actress award at the 2015 Kids’ Choice Awards for her role. Later that year, she appeared in Woody Allen’s romantic comedy Magic in the Moonlight.
Her final film release of 2014 was the black comedy Birdman.

It was considered one of her best performances, with some highlighting her powerful monologue in the film. Stone received nominations from prestigious awards, including the Academy Awards, BAFTA, Golden Globe, and SAG Awards.
During her run in the Broadway musical Cabaret from November 2014 to February 2015, Stone met director Damien Chazelle, who cast her in his musical comedy-drama La La Land.
