Emma Stone Reveals What a Sexist Hollywood Executive Told Her at the Start of Her Career

Emma Stone attends the 2024 Variety Creative Impact and 10 Directors to Watch at Parker Palm Springs.

Emma Stone was not afraid to spill the tea while attending the Palm Springs Film Awards on Thursday, Jan. 4.

After winning the Desert Palm Achievement Award for best actress for her Poor Things performance, Stone took the stage and reflected on her time in the entertainment business.

“I’m grateful that I get to keep trying new things and for the opportunity to make choices when it comes to work because I know how rare and fleeting it can be to choose what you want to do, or who you want to work with, as an actor,” she said, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

“I was not always sure that that would be the case, because when I first moved to L.A., I went to one of those general meetings that they sometimes send you to. An executive told me that for male actors, it’s a marathon, not a sprint, and in his eyes, for women, it was a sprint, not a marathon.”
