Biography |
Born in Los Angeles, California, on February 10, 1991, Emma
Roberts has been around the entertainment industry since she
was just a baby. The daughter of noted actor Eric Roberts,
Emma spent a lot of time on the sets of her her aunt's,
Julia Roberts, movies and even worked as an extra on the
2001 film, America's Sweethearts. And although her mother
initially wanted Emma to have a normal childhood, her
obvious passion for performing couldn't be stifled and her
mother finally allowed her to begin the auditioning for
parts.
She made her film debut in 2001's Blow, which is also
notable as the first movie she ever tried out for.
Ironically, Emma still hasn't seen the movie due to its
R-rated content, although director Ted Demme did make her a
tape consisting entirely of her scenes. She followed Blow
with starring roles in a pair of family films, 2002's Grand
Champion and the 2006 monkey comedy Spymate. Emma didn't
break through, however, until she landed the lead role on
the Nickelodeon show Unfabulous in 2004, where she quickly
established herself as a likeable and genuinely talented
performer (she sings, too!).
In 2005, Emma released her first single, "If I Had It My
Way," which appeared in the Disney film Ice Princess. A year
later, Emma cemented her status as a bona fide teen queen
with her role opposite Sara Paxton and JoJo in Aquamarine.
And with her appearance as iconic character Nancy Drew in
the movie of the same name, it's clear that Emma is destined
to follow in the famous footsteps of her aunt. |
