Long before she was an Academy Award-winning star, Emma Stone (born Emily Stone) was just a 14-year-old girl in Scottsdale, Arizona, with a big dream. Facing the daunting task of convincing her parents to uproot their lives and move to Hollywood, Stone didn’t resort to typical teenage pleas. She approached it with the methodical professionalism of a business executive\u2014complete with a PowerPoint presentation set to an iconic pop track.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Proposal: “Project Hollywood 2004”<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

In 2003, young Emma Stone decided that her future lay not in high school in Arizona, but in Los Angeles. To convey the gravity of her commitment and the seriousness of her plan, she created a presentation titled “Project Hollywood 2004.”<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The Setting:<\/b> Stone invited her parents into her room, even providing them with popcorn for the “pitch.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The Soundtrack:<\/b> Crucially, the entire presentation was set to the Madonna song “Hollywood,”<\/b> a track from the pop queen’s 2003 album American Life<\/i>.
