Throughout all of her performances, Emma Stone has proved that she can basically do it all: comedy, drama, musicals, even superhero films — and she sells it every time. In her over 20-year career, the actress has brought characters such as La La Land’s Mia Dolan and Easy A’s Olive Penderghast to life in ways that are so iconic, it’s hard to imagine anyone else playing them.
While her recent roles in films including Bugonia and Poor Things solidify Emma as a critically beloved force to be reckoned with in the realm of drama films, there is something special about her early comedic roles that deserves its own acknowledgement.
From her very first TV appearance to her first time as a lead movie character, these are nine early comedy roles that helped launch Emma Stone into the acclaimed star she is now:
1.
The New Partridge Family (2004)
2.
Malcolm in the Middle (2006)
5.
The House Bunny (2008)
6.
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009)
