Emily Jean "Emma" Stone (born November 6, 1988) is an American actress and producer. She is the recipient of various accolades, including two Academy Awards, two British Academy Film Awards, and two Golden Globe Awards. In 2017, she was the world's highest-paid actress and named by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in the world.
Born and raised in Scottsdale, Arizona, Stone began acting as a child in a theater production of The Wind in the Willows in 2000. As a teenager, she relocated to Los Angeles and made her television debut in In Search of the New Partridge Family (2004), a reality show that produced only an unsold pilot. After small television roles, she appeared in a series of well-received teen comedy films, such as Superbad (2007), Zombieland (2009), and Easy A (2010), which was Stone's first leading role. Following this breakthrough, she starred in the romantic comedy Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011) and the period drama The Help (2011), and gained wider recognition as Gwen Stacy in the The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and its 2014 sequel.
Stone has won two Academy Awards for Best Actress: for her role as an aspiring actress in Damien Chazelle's romantic musical La La Land (2016); and for her role as a resurrected suicide victim in Yorgos Lanthimos fantasy film Poor Things (2023). She received Academy Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress for her roles as a recovering drug addict in Birdman (2014), and as Abigail Masham in The Favourite (2018). She also starred in the dark comedy miniseries Maniac (2018) and in The Curse (2023), and portrayed the title role in the crime comedy Cruella (2021).
On Broadway, Stone has starred as Sally Bowles in a revival of the musical Cabaret (2014–2015). She and her husband, Dave McCary, founded the production company Fruit Tree in 2020, under which they have produced the films When You Finish Saving the World (2022) and Problemista (2023).
