Emma Stone: Snapshot

Name: Emma Stone
Date of Birth: November 06, 1988
Birth Place: Scottsdale, Ariz.

Emma Stone has no reservations about balancing that fine line between dorky and cool, sharp-tongued and sexy. "She's catnip to both male and female audiences," EW has praised of her appeal. No wonder she won over audiences and nabbed a Golden Globes nomination with her star-making role in the 2010 romantic comedy Easy A.

The Phoenix, Ariz., native initially wanted to be a Disney star but eventually got her big break as Jonah Hill's quick-witted crush in 2007's Superbad. Since then, Stone has become Hollywood's go-to sassy ingénue, showcasing her signature charisma in House Bunny and Zombieland. But the summer of 2011 proved to be the redhead's coming out party. She appeared in three consecutive hits: Friends with Benefits, Crazy, Stupid, Love and her first big-screen drama, The Help. The icing? Signing a deal to become the newest face of Revlon.

With a role in the 2012 blockbuster The Amazing Spider-Man on the horizon, Stone is quickly cementing her spot among Hollywood's coveted A-list.
