School theater
Theatrical life captured the young artist; at the age of 11 she played in the play “The Wind in the Willows” based on the story by Scottish writer Kenneth Grahame. The debut turned out to be successful, and the girl began to participate in other productions. In the four years that she was finishing school, young Stone played in sixteen plays, and the theater determined her future fate - Emma decided to become an actress. Her parents supported her daughter in every possible way, and as soon as she turned 15, she and her mother left for Los Angeles.
Childhood
Emma was lucky - her family was strong. The head of the house was the father, who was engaged in the construction business and provided for his wife and two children - Emma and her younger brother. Mom could afford not to work and devote all her time to her husband and children.
In childhood
Parents dreamed that their children would receive the best education and did everything possible for this. Emma attended a prestigious primary school before being transferred to a single-sex Catholic grammar school. But because of her passion for theater, which began at the age of five, the girl was soon transferred to home schooling.
Being just a baby, Emma loved to dress up, dance in front of the mirror and sing, imagining herself standing on stage as a star. From the very first days at school, the little girl began to take an active part in all productions and concerts. The mother realized that the girl had acting talent and took her to a children's theater studio.
Already at the age of 11, she made her debut in the leading role in the production of “The Wind in the Willows.” The work turned out to be very successful and the girl was then constantly involved in other performances. There was practically no time left for studying, but Emma herself was not too upset by this.
She understood that for a successful acting career, you do not need a basic education, but good looks, a decent portfolio and a little luck.
TV projects
Emma Stone, whose height (168 cm) was ideal for television filming, first took part in television plays, playing bit parts. Thanks to the experience gained on the theater stage, Emma coped with her tasks easily, and her characters turned out to be quite interesting. Television directors quickly noticed the talented young actress, and she began to receive supporting roles. And in 2004, Stone was cast in the role of Laurie Partridge in the television series The New Partridge Family. Then the actress played a small role in the TV series “Medium” (2005), “Lucky Louie”, “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody”, “Malcolm in the Race”.
Career
Emma herself believes that her acting career began in elementary school. She never imagined herself as anything else - only an actress. But the girl took her first serious step towards her dream at the age of 15. With great difficulty, she persuaded her parents to take her to the casting in Los Angeles.
The decisive argument was the almost professionally made portfolio that the girl prepared herself.
Emma was lucky. Almost immediately after arriving in Los Angeles, she manages to get on the set of the fairly popular family comedy show “The New Partridge Family.” The appearance of the charming little girl on the screens did not go unnoticed, and Emma began to receive offers for episodic roles in various TV series.
Realizing that she needs to gain experience, Emma agrees to everything and works literally to the max. She and her mother finally settle in the City of Angels, while her father and brother remain in Arizona. Nevertheless, the family continues to communicate, and Emma constantly feels the support of her relatives.
Emma received her debut role in a big movie in 2007. It was the youth comedy “Superbad”, which was warmly received by the audience, but was crushed by critics for being too banal. But the film did its job and launched Emmy's rapid career growth. Over the next two years, Emmy starred in three films at once and became quite recognizable.
Emma was especially bright in comedy films. Maybe that’s why her debut leading role took place in the musical film of this genre “Excellent Student of Easy Virtue.” The girl played so organically that she was nominated for the prestigious Golden Globe Award, but she never received the prize.
Emma received star status in 2012, after the next part of the film about Spider-Man was released, in which the girl played the superhero’s girlfriend. The success was consolidated by the second part of the film, which premiered in 2014.
Emma also had serious roles in the very successful melodrama “The Help” and Woody Allen’s film “Irrational Man.” But still, comedy remains its main genre.
In 2020, the girl received a prestigious acting award - the Golden Globe. It was brought to her by her role in the musical comedy La La Land. Today, she is one of the most beautiful and highly paid actresses in Hollywood. Her filmography already includes more than 30 roles. Now she is involved in several large projects at once.
At the same time, Emma often dubs full-length cartoons. Possessing a pleasant voice and good musical abilities, she occasionally records soundtracks for films and cartoons. And in the musical “La La Land” she performed all the parts of her character herself.
Personal life
Emma’s personal life, despite the many fans around her, can hardly be called stormy. Growing up in a strong traditional family, she always strived for a serious relationship. Her first love was musician Teddy Geyer, whom Emma met in 2008. They dated for a little over a year, but then broke up.
In 2010, she was charmed by the already quite famous actor Andrew Garfield. A whirlwind romance began that lasted more than five years. Garfield even managed to propose marriage to his beloved, and the couple planned a wedding. But the celebration never took place.
With Andrew Garfield
In 2020, the couple officially announced their separation. But a year later they began to appear together again in various places (but not at social events). In one of the interviews, Emma admitted that she still had feelings for Garfield and it is possible that their relationship will improve again. In the meantime, she spends most of her free time in the company of her friend, singer Taylor Swift.
Debut in big cinema
In the same 2007, Emma Stone, whose filmography contained only television series, made her debut in big cinema; she played Jules in the comedy Superbad, directed by Greg Mottola.

That same year, Emma played Natalie, the president of the Zeta Alpha Zeta club in the film The Boys Like It, directed by Fred Wolf.
