Biography

Emma Stone

1988

Raising Arizona

Emily Jean Stone is born to Jeff and Krista Stone, co-owners of a golf course. "From the time I was 4, I just knew that I wanted to act," she tells the Chicago Sun-Times. Her dad, a film buff, weans her on classic comedies such as his favorite, The Jerk, starring Steve Martin. "I wasn't really a tomboy, but I was loud. And bossy," she tells W magazine. "I wanted to be Steve Martin. Or John Candy."

While at the all-girls Catholic school Xavier College Prep, Stone regularly performs improv comedy as part of the local Valley Youth Theatre in Phoenix. By age 12, Stone convinces her parents to home-school her so that she can go on auditions. Her tactic to convince them? "I made a foam-board presentation," she explains to PEOPLE.
