Emma Stone is an American actress who aspired to an acting career from an early age.[1] She had her first role onstage at age 11,[2] and followed with parts in sixteen plays in a regional theater in Arizona.[3] Stone made her television debut in the unsold pilot for the reality show The New Partridge Family (2005).[4] After brief television roles in Medium, Malcolm in the Middle, and Lucky Louie, she made her film debut in the comedy Superbad (2007).[5]

Stone appeared as a ghost in Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009), and found commercial success with the horror comedy Zombieland.[6] Her breakthrough came with her first leading role as a high school student perceived to be sexually promiscuous in the comedy Easy A (2010).[7] In 2011, she starred in the romantic comedy Crazy, Stupid, Love and in the period drama The Help, which were both commercial successes.[8][9] Stone's success continued with her role as Gwen Stacy in the 2012 superhero film The Amazing Spider-Man that became her highest-grossing release, with a worldwide revenue of $757 million, and she later reprised the role in its 2014 sequel.[10] Critical success followed with her performance as a recovering drug addict in Alejandro González Iñárritu's black comedy-drama Birdman (2014). It earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.[11] Later that year, she made her Broadway debut in a revival of the musical Cabaret.
Stone won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance as an aspiring actress in Damien Chazelle's musical La La Land (2016).[12] She also recorded six songs such as "City of Stars" for the film's soundtrack. She served as an executive producer and starred in the Netflix black comedy miniseries Maniac (2018), and received another Oscar nomination for her portrayal of Abigail Masham in Yorgos Lanthimos' period black comedy The Favourite (2018).[13][14] She then starred in the sequel Zombieland: Double Tap (2019), portrayed the title role in the crime comedy Cruella (2021), and established the production company Fruit Tree, under which she began producing independent films such as Jesse Eisenberg's directorials When You Finish Saving the World (2022) and A Real Pain (2024).[15] In 2023, Stone reunited with Lanthimos in the acclaimed fantasy film Poor Things, which she also produced, winning another Academy Award for Best Actress in addition to a nomination for Best Picture.[15][16][17]
