Once upon a time, Emma Stone seemed to be one of those “America’s sweetheart” type of actresses: cheery, wholesome, fun, but with serious acting chops that surfaced in films like “Easy A” and “La La Land,” for which she won the Oscar. Sure, she showed a tougher side in “Birdman” and had fun being evil in “Cruella,” but she always had the potential to be a rom-com queen if she were so inclined.
She’s obviously not so inclined these days, though, because Emma Stone ’24 is one seriously twisted movie star. She’s got a TV show, “The Curse,” that’s basically designed to mess with our heads in the service of black comedy.
