Emma Stone has had a slew of red carpet appearances and interviews lately to promote ?The Amazing Spider-Man,? but it?s been nothing but a breeze for the charismatic actress.
It seems no one?is immune to her understated beauty?and self-deprecating charm. In fact, her New York Magazine profile was so glistening that some article commenters lambasted its ?girl crush? tone. Her fashion sense has been the center of envious attention, and her off-screen relationship with her "Spider-Man" co-star Andrew Garfield (which she?s reticent to publicly discuss) seems to be going swimmingly.
Clearly, Stone is doing?something right. Taking a page out of Dale Carnegie?s famous self-help book, ?How to Win Friends and Influence People,? she?s smiling, listening and appreciating her rise to the ("Easy") A-list, making us fall deeper in love with her one step at a time.
From her PowerPoint-fueled Hollywood start to her humble rise to success, here are six ways that Emma Stone has won us over:
Ambitious adolescence
At 14, Stone enrolled as a freshman at Xavier College Preparatory in Phoenix, Ariz.,?but she wanted to go to Los Angeles to be in the movies. So, as she recounted to Blackbook Magazine,?one day she hurried home, made a PowerPoint entitled "Project Hollywood 2004," set it to Madonna?s ?Hollywood? and used it to convince her parents to let her drop out of school and move to L.A. to audition for film and TV. Her mother stayed with her, homeschooling the Scottsdale, Ariz., native through high school.
Discerning choice of roles
Although ?The Amazing Spider-Man? will likely be the role that reaches the biggest audience, her success has been climbing ever since she starred as the heart-meltingly hot high-school dream girl Jules in ?Superbad.? She honed her comedic chops alongside co-star Jonah Hill before showing that con artists can be silly and sexy in ?Zombieland,??and then, drum roll please, ?Easy A? and??Crazy, Stupid, Love? helped perfect her smart, sexy, wry sense of humor which she followed with a serious turn in "The Help," establishing?a?hilarious, serious, various?persona?for the Emma Stone?we now know and love. ? ?
Trailer for "The Amazing Spider-Man," in which Emma Stone plays Gwen Stacy. Opens July 3.
Self-deprecating humor
The way Stone combines her sarcastic humor with real vulnerability has proven to be her siren song. Her turn as Olive Penderghast, a?high-school student who video?diaries her misunderstood "Scarlet Letter"-inspired life in "Easy A,"?allowed Stone to showcase a witty, cultured,?willing-to-be-humbled character?who's nothing but?unforgettable.?We hope she won?t use?her?siren song?to crash us into a cliff, though, because when she turns on the comedic charm, it?s impossible to look away.
Approachability
Between press tours, filming, photo shoots, interviews and maintaining some semblance of a personal life, the natural blonde seems nothing like the average 23-year-old. But compared to the likes of Angelina Jolie or Sean Penn -- who are off?doing good in?Cambodia and Haiti, respectively -- her stateside sensibility lends?itself to greater?approachability and relatability. We're sure she'll take up a cause or two when she's older and more firmly entrenched in the Hollywood elite, but for now, Stone?s youthful, live-in-the-Hollywood moment?sensibility?is a surprisingly?appreciated repose from the busy, hyperaffluent, seemingly out-of-touch movie star we're used to.
Understated (yet unbelievable) looks
Sony Screen Gems president Clint Culpepper noted that with red hair, Stone looks less?like ?someone who will steal your boyfriend,? according to New York Magazine. But whether she?s a redhead, blonde or brunette, the actress, who?s now?the new face of Revlon, could steal a boyfriend or two?sporting any hair color. ?The pretty thing ... it was never a value to me growing up,? she told the magazine, adding that she signed with Revlon so young girls would know they don?t have to look like models to be beautiful.?To?judge for yourself whether she doesn't have?the looks of a model,?here are a?few of her?"Spider-Man" red carpet looks.?(For the record, yes, she's model material.)
She?s not the center of the world (but she is)
Perhaps the most refreshing?-- although most?difficult to believe?-- quality of Stone is that she isn?t too interested in herself or in?sharing her stories. ?I freak out having a Facebook? she told New York Magazine, noting that she only wants her closest friends to know the most personal details of her life, specifically concerning Garfield. Yet, considering the fact that?her face seems to dominate the newstand (now on the?July?Vogue cover), if she wanted to tell story after self-centered story, we're sure millions would be glad to perk up and listen.

ScienceDaily (June 25, 2012) ? In choosing a mate both males and females rely on visual cues to determine which potential partner will supply the best genes, best nesting site, best territory, and best parenting skills. New research published in BioMed Central's open access journal Frontiers in Zoology shows that male blue tits' (Cyanistes caeruleus) parental behavior is determined by female ornamentation (ultraviolet coloration of the crown), as predicted by the differential allocation hypothesis (DAH).
DAH makes the assumption that aesthetic traits indicate quality and arises from the needs of a parent's current need to ensure current reproductive success and the reproductive success of their offspring. Ornamentation and its maintenance is a cost which reduces energy available for reproduction, but without the ornamentation an individual may not be able to secure a mate. Ornamentation also plays a role in competition between males and between females, as well as signaling potential reproductive success.
But reproductive success does not only depend on the best genes and the best nest, it also depends on parenting skills. Researchers from Konrad Lorenz Institute of Ethology, supported by the "Sparkling-Science" Program, investigated the effect of female ornamentation on the chick-rearing behavior of their mates. Both males and female blue tits have feathers on the top of their heads which reflect UV light. After their chicks had hatched, female blue tits were captured and their crowns smeared with either duck preen gland oil containing UV-blocking chemicals or the oil alone.
Although the UV-blocking chemicals did not alter the behavior of the females, their mates made fewer hunting trips to feed their brood. However the males made the same effort to protect their nest and defend their chicks as males with oil-only treated females.
Dr Matteo Griggio, co-author of this study, commented, "This is the first study to show that male blue tit behavior depends on female ornamentation. Even though our experiment was minimally invasive to avoid partners not being able to recognize each other, the behavior of male blue tits in this study matched the DAH. DAH also predicts that less attractive females should increase their parental investment but we found no compensatory female behavior."
