10 Movie Scenes That Affected Actors In Profound Ways
2. The Chatty Cathy Scene Inspired Emma Stone To Become An Actor - Planes, Trains And Automobiles
Returning to those scenes that had such a profound affect on a human that they resulted in said person committing to a life in the acting business, it's no secret that Planes, Trains, and Automobiles had a hell of an impact on Emma Stone's choice of career.
On top of being able to recite the entire "f***" monologue delivered by Steve Martin in the 1987 John Hughes comedy classic, the Academy Award winner has also admitted there's one particular scene in the film that pushed her onto the road to becoming an actor herself.
Recalling the "Chatty Cathy" moment in the picture that sees Martin's brassed off Neal Page compare John Candy's Del Griffiths to an irritating Chatty Cathy doll, Stone would note to Entertainment Weekly that going from giggling at the former to your heart breaking for the latter made her realise that you could actually do both.
In the years that would follow, Stone would brilliantly do exactly that, of course.
In the likes of Easy A, La La Land, and many more, the diverse star has consistently shown an ability to produce compelling performances that are as side-splitting as they are moving. And it all started after watching Martin unleashing hilarious/heartbreaking hell on Candy all those years ago.
