Emily Jean "Emma" Stone (born November 6, 1988) is an American actress and producer. She has won two Academy Awards, two BAFTA Awards, and two Golden Globe Awards. Her career began at Phoenix's Valley Youth Theatre with The Wind in the Willows (2000) and at fifteen, she moved to Los Angeles, debuting in an unsold television pilot, In Search of the New Partridge Family (2004). Stone gained recognition through teen comedies like Superbad (2007), Zombieland (2009), and Easy A (2010), her first starring role, earning a Golden Globe nomination for the latter. Her roles in Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011) and The Help (2011) highlighted her versatility, while The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and its 2014 sequel elevated her global profile. Stone earned her first Oscar nomination for Birdman (2014), and won Best Actress for La La Land (2016) and Poor Things (2023); she has also earned nominations for The Favourite (2018) and Bugonia (2025). She starred in Battle of the Sexes (2017), Cruella (2021), and Maniac (2018). In 2020, she co-founded Fruit Tree, producing films Problemista (2023) and I Saw the TV Glow (2024). Stone's collaboration with Yorgos Lanthimos, inspired by her admiration for his films like The Lobster (2015) and Dogtooth (2009), spans The Favourite, Poor Things, and Kinds of Kindness (2024), and Bugonia. This partnership, driven by her trust in his vision, reflects her deliberate shift toward experimental cinema over mainstream Hollywood projects.
Joan Goodwin, a thoughtful and reserved professor of physics and astronomy at Rice University, has always been captivated by the stars. Content in her quiet academic life and her role as a devoted aunt, Joan’s world shifts when she sees an ad calling for the first women scientists to join NASA’s Space Shuttle program. Compelled by a long-held dream, she applies—and is chosen from thousands in the summer of 1980—launching her into an intense new chapter as a trainee astronaut at Houston’s Johnson Space Center. There, Joan joins a remarkable group of candidates, including Top Gun pilot Hank Redmond, easygoing scientist John Griffin, guarded but brilliant Lydia Danes, kind-hearted Donna Fitzgerald, and the enigmatic engineer Vanessa Ford. As they train, Joan forms unexpected bonds, discovers a new passion, and finds a love that changes her understanding of herself and her place in the universe. But when disaster strikes during mission STS-LR9 in December 1984, Joan’s journey takes a sudden and profound turn.
