Emma Stone is without a doubt, one of
the hottest actresses right now. She is best known for her roles in
"Superbad", "Zombieland", "Easy A" and "The
Amazing Spider-Man". She has also showed off her humourous side by
appearing not once, but twice as a guest on "Saturday Night Live".
Here are 50 interesting facts about this talented actress.
Her real name isn't Emma, it's Emily
Jean Stone. She chose the name "Emma" when she joined the Screen
Actors Guild because "Emily Stone" was already taken. Her family and
friends still call her Emily.
She first chose "Riley Stone" as her stage
name, but after guest-starring on Malcolm in the Middle, she decided that she
was more comfortable with "Emma", a nickname that her mother had
given her
She was born on November 6, 1988 in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Her mother, Krista, is a stay-at-home mom, and her
father, Jeff, is a contractor. She has one younger brother, Spencer, and is the
first of her family to enter the showbiz world.
Emma is of Swedish descent. Her paternal grandfather
emigrated to the US through Ellis Island-at which point his last name was
Anglicized to "Stone." Meanwhile, her maternal side is mainly
Pennsylvania Dutch (German), as well as English, Scottish and Irish.
When Emma was just seven, she broke both her arms by
falling off the parallel bars in gymnastics.
Emma is known for her sexy, husky voice and she got it
as a result of being a colicky baby. Baby colic is when a healthy baby cries on
a regular basis for no clear reason. Oftentimes, the colicky baby cries at the
same time on a daily basis. "I screamed myself hoarse every day and
developed nodules as an infant. So I have calluses on my vocal cords, which
makes me lose my voice all the time and makes doing something like screaming in
a scene, over and over, really rough.... But yeah, I've sounded like this since
I was a kid." Ouch!
While growing up in Arizona, she harnessed her love for
acting at local theater production of The Wiz with future American Idol winner
Jordin Sparks. She starred in a total of 16 productions while there.
The star attended Xavier College Preparatory, a Catholic
high school in Phoenix, for one semester.
Despite starring in the hugely popular high school movie
"Easy A," she said the high school experience is alien to her. She
was homeschooled from age 12 onwards and convinced her mother to move to LA
with her when she was 15.
How did she convince her family to move to LA? She made
a PowerPoint presentation which listed all the benefits while she played
Madonna's song "Hollywood".
Before getting into acting, she was into learning HTML
and web design.
