Great write up in the latest issue of Vanity Fair (which yes I do read from time to time) on Emma Stone. Who's Emma Stone you ask? Only one of the top up and coming young actresses in Hollywood who just happens to be playing Gwen Stacy in next years Spidey reboot The Amazing Spider-Man.
In the article, Stone reveals one of the lowest moments in her life as the time she found out that she had lost out on the role of the cheerleader in Heroes to Hayden Panettiere. I've got to be honest, I'm one of the biggest fanboys on earth, but I never got in to Heroes. It never drew me in and when it got cancelled I wasn't surprised.
Needless to say, Stone came out the winner in this one. She's got new movies on tap (by the way if you haven't seen her in Easy A, check it out, great performance) and by next summer once Andrew Garfield starts catching her in mid air in his Spidey suit, she'll be a household name.
When word got out that Stone was cast in The Amazing Spider-Man, everyone assumed she'd be playing Mary Jane Watson, for no other reason than she's a pretty red head. But nope, a quick hair color change and bam, instant Gwen Stacy. Why do they keep doing this with Spidey movies by the way? Casting blondes to be Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst) and casting red heads for Gwen Stacy (Bryce Dallas Howard, Stone).
