Emma Stone is Hollywood's New Favorite Actress [Photos]
Who is Emma Stone? Born Emily Jean Stone, she is quickly becoming the most in-demand actress in Hollywood as she stars in three feature films in this summer alone. Stone's growing popularity is credited to her hit movies "Easy A" from earlier this year and to this summer's "Friends with Benefits," "Crazy, Stupid, Love," and "The Help," in which she plays the lead role.
Although appearing as a redhead in most of her films, Stone is naturally a blonde. She landed her first role as a teenager after dyeing her hair dark brown. Film producer Judd Apatow had her changed from a brunette to a redhead for her role in "Superbad" in 2007. Stone appeared on the movie "The House Bunny" in 2008, starring Anna Faris alongside Katharine McPhee, Kat Dennings, Rumer Willis and Colin Hanks with her role being the president of a sorority.
The 22-year-old actress remains grounded in spite her mounting fame.
"What's important is the people in your life - your family and friends love you completely and entirely, that they're always making fun of you and making you feel like a little bit of an idiot," the actress told New York Metro.
In the upcoming super-hero flick "The Amazing Spider-Man" Stone plays Gwen Stacy, the love interest of Andrew Garfield's character, Peter Parker. "Andrew is one of the most giving actors I've ever worked with," Stone says about her co-star whom she is now reportedly dating. She claims that the 27-year-old actor helped her become a better actress while filming "Spider-Man."
"I have dreams of being a producer, being behind the camera and making movies that affect people the way they affect me," Stone stated in her interview with Teen Vogue as the rising star revealed her aspirations to go beyond acting.
Stone's third movie of the summer, "The Help" will hit theaters on Aug. 10.
