(about 7 hours later)
Emma Stone has built her film career playing the attractive, disarmingly funny girl-next-door. Like Jonah Hill, who also started out under director Judd Apatow’s wing, she’s worked her way up towards the odd complex role on top of that comedic foundation. This weekend, she hits UK cinema screen as a 1920s mystic in Woody Allen’s Magic in the Moonlight, inspiring us to take a look back at five of her strongest performances to date.Emma Stone has built her film career playing the attractive, disarmingly funny girl-next-door.

For her first feature film role, Stone joined Apatow regulars Seth Rogen and the aforementioned Hill, in this supremely silly story about underage drinking, teenage virginity and general awkwardness.

Ruben Fleischer directed Stone alongside Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson in this playful, but happily gory, zombie flick. As Wichita, she did her share of zombie face-kicking – enough to make Eisenberg’s Columbus character inevitably fancy her.Ruben Fleischer directed Stone alongside Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson in this playful, but happily gory, zombie flick.

On paper, a teen film reworking Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter sounds fairly disastrous but Stone pulled off her role as Easy A’s protagonist rather well. Plus, she earned adoration for her top-notch shower singing, in the scene below.On paper, a teen film reworking Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter sounds fairly disastrous but Stone pulled off her role as Easy A’s protagonist rather well.

Ryan Gosling fans were at peak meme-making levels of obsession when this loser-makeover film came out, but Stone held her own next to his “it’s like you’re Photoshopped” abs. She injected some much-needed sloppy realism into the typical boy-meets-girl dimensions of the film’s storyline.Ryan Gosling fans were at peak meme-making levels of obsession when this loser-makeover film came out, but Stone held her own next to his “it’s like you’re Photoshopped” abs.
