Emma Roberts

Sixteen-year-old Emma Roberts may have a mega-famous aunty (Pretty Woman's Julia Roberts) but this cute-as-pie starlet isn't riding any coat tales. You know her from the so-hot-right-now teen flick Nancy Drew, but here are some things about her that you might not know …

Getting to know Emma

She was born February 10, 1991 in Rhinebeck, New York, USA.
She's 157cm tall and her middle name is Rose.
She's got a super-famous family. Along with Aunty Jules, her dad, Eric Roberts, is an actor, appearing in shows including CSI: Miami and Law & Order, and her aunt, Lisa Roberts, has been in loads of flicks too.
She decided she wanted to be an actress when she was five after hanging out on Julia Roberts' movie sets.
She made her acting debut at a super-young nine years old in the movie, Blow, which co-starred Johnny Depp. However as the movie was R-rated, her mum said she couldn’t watch it until she was 18, so the director put together a tape of only her scenes so she could see them!
She was meant to star in a film called Camp Couture which was to be produced by her mum, Kelly Cunningham, but it never went ahead.
She's pals with Britney Spears' lil' sis, Jamie-Lynn.
She's been starring in the US TV show Unfabulous for the last three years, in the lead role of Addie Singer, a schoolgirl who loves to write songs and play her guitar.
She's also a singer: Emma released the album Unfabulous and More: Emma Roberts which features as the Unfabulous soundtrack.
She contributed the song, If I Had My Way, to the Disney movie, Ice Princess.
She became a spokesmodel for accessories label Dooney & Bourke and designed a handbag for them which was named after herself.
She's been nominated six times for the Young Artist Award (and won it earlier this year), once for the Kids' Choice Award, and once for the Teen Choice Award.
She left school in Year 8 to be home-schooled due her busy acting schedule.
She's signed on to star in Wild Child, a movie about a rebellious Malibu princess who’s sent to a strict English boarding school.
