Though she’s only been in the business since 2005, Emma Stone has quickly amassed a small yet potent resume that’s effectively established her as one of the most promising up-and-coming comedic actress to come around in quite some time. She started out her career by taking on one-episode guest spots on shows like Malcolm in the Middle and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, but it was her scene-stealing work as the object of Jonah Hill’s affections in the 2007 smash Superbad that firmly established her as a new face worth watching.
With her off-kilter looks and sarcastic sensibilities, Emma Stone has effectively cultivated the image of an approachable girl-next-door type -- the kind most guys have known (and probably lusted after) at least once in their lives. She’s certainly perpetuated this notion by taking on roles in a pair of 2008 comedies, The House Bunny and The Rocker, and her upcoming gigs will only strengthen her appeal and confirm her impending superstardom. She’ll first be seen alongside Noureen DeWulf as one of the title characters in the Matthew McConaughey/Jennifer Garner romcom The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, then she'll segue into her very first starring role in Paper Man. There’s little doubt that Emma Stone’s days as a bit player are coming to a swift end, as she’s primed to join the ranks of such famously funny ladies as Kate Hudson and Meg Ryan.
