Plenty of crazy stories have emerged from Hollywood about how worldwide stars weaved their way into the spotlight, and Emma Stone's is equally amusing as any. The Spice Girls-obsessed youngster - who had once broken both of her arms after falling off the parallel bars during a gymnastics session - also dreamt of acting, and with numerous plays and productions on her CV, she made a plea to her parents. She produced a PowerPoint presentation detailing why moving to Los Angeles would be a great idea to kickstart her career, and delivered it with the backing of Madonna's 2003 song, Hollywood. She got her wish and moved to L.A. with her mother, where she started off working in a bakery for dogs.
