Jeffrey Charles Stone is the CEO and founder of contracting company, Stone Contracting. She is of Swedish, German & British Isles descent. Stone began her acting career in her early years as a part of the Valley Youth Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona, where she made her stage debut in an adaptation of Kenneth Grahame's "The Wind in the Willows". Stone was a part of numerous productions throughout her teens until, at 15 years old, she decided to pursue acting as a profession. Officially, she designed a PowerPoint presentation, which was backed by Madonna's "Hollywood", and entitled "Project Hollywood", to convince her parents that she should leave school and relocate to Los Angeles. She and her mother made the pitch and made the move to LA. Her schooling was done at home, and she would spend the rest of her time auditioning. She made her TV debut in 2004, when she was offered the role of Laurie Partridge on the VH1 reality/talent show In Search of the Partridge Family. The show brought her a host of minor TV performances in the years to follow. After a string success with her part as Olive in Easy A (2010) was her first film role. The school she attended was Xavier College Preparatory in Phoenix, Arizona. While she is a redhead, the hair color that is natural to her hair is blonde. Judd Apatow suggested that she change her hair color to suit Superbad (2007). She was so in love with it, she decided to keep the color. At the age of 15 she convinced her parents she could make the move to Hollywood. She made this happen by creating a PowerPoint presentation entitled Project Hollywood. She began acting at the age of 11 years old in Phoenix's Valley Youth Theatre. Here she performed on more than 16 stages. She also performed in the comedy improv group of the theatre. Caylee Cowan was also a part of the Valley Youth Theatre.
