Julia Sarah Stone (born November 24, 1997)[1] is a Canadian actress. She began studying theater at the age of six, and appeared in a number of school plays over the following years. After booking a small part in an independent short film in 2009, she won her breakthrough role in the 2011 feature The Year Dolly Parton Was My Mom, for which she received a Young Artist Award. Stone was subsequently cast in the pilot episode of the CW series Emily Owens, M.D.; the third season of AMC's The Killing; and a number of Canadian-produced independent films.
In addition to her Young Artist Award, she has received several other film accolades. For her role in the feature Wet Bum, Stone was named a Toronto International Film Festival Rising Star in 2014, won the Leo Award in 2015, and was nominated for a Vancouver Film Critics Circle Award. Her performance in the 2016 film The Unseen earned her an additional nomination from the Vancouver Film Critics Circle. In 2019, she won a second Leo Award for her work in the dramatic film Honey Bee.
Stone has won praise for her use of silence and facial expressions on-screen. In a review, RogerEbert.com noted that viewers could gauge the mood of a scene merely by watching Stone.[2] In 2016, she was cast as Dana Copeland in the disaster series Aftermath. She later played the role of Eva, opposite Evan Rachel Wood, in the 2017 dramatic film Allure.
