At a recent press junket in Los Angeles I had the opportunity to sit down and speak with Emma Stone about her new film "The Help." The film The Help is based on the number one New York Times best seller by Kathryn Stockett. Set in Jackson, Mississippi during the 1960s, it follows the lives and relationships of three women who build an unlikely friendship while writing a secret project that will break social rules. When Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan (Emma Stone), a recent graduate, gets a writing job about cleaning hints, she seeks advise from Aibileen (Viola Davis), her best friends maid. Aibileen has been a house keeper her whole life, having raised 17 children total from her employers. When Skeeter enters her life, Aibileen finds herself opening up and telling her stories for the first time from her life. We soon find other maids coming forward with their stories and a sisterhood emerges.
