Emma Stone
Set in Mississippi during the 1960s, "The Help" stars Emma Stone ("Zombieland") as Skeeter, a southern society girl who returns from college determined to become a writer, but turns her friends' lives, and a small Mississippi town, upside down when she decides to interview the black women who have spent their lives taking care of prominent southern families.
Academy Award® nominee Viola Davis ("Eat Pray Love") stars as Aibileen, Skeeter's best friend's housekeeper, who is the first to open up—to the dismay of her friends in the tight-knit black community.
Despite Skeeter's life-long friendships hanging in the balance, she and Aibileen continue their collaboration and soon more women come forward to tell their stories—and as it turns out, they have a lot to say.
Along the way, unlikely friendships are forged and a new sisterhood emerges, but not before everyone in town has a thing or two to say themselves when they become unwittingly—and unwillingly—caught up in the changing times.
Starring: Emma Stone, Viola Davis, Bryce Dallas Howard, Chris Lowell, Octavia Spencer, Jessica Chastain, Allison Janney, David Oyelowo
