Thirteen years before she won an Oscar for her singing efforts in the musical La La Land, Emma Stone was already showcasing her musical abilities in her very first on-screen appearance.

The 28-year-old actor - then going by her birth name of Emily made her television debut on the talent competition reality show In Search of the New Partridge Family.

A reboot of sorts of the 70s musical sitcom The Partridge Family, the show was never picked up beyond a pilot, and footage from the sole episode in existence is scarce.

But in the clip above, Stone can be seen belting out the 90s Meredith Brooks hit Bitch in true mid-noughties teen pop-rock style.

It's all very "vintage Lindsay Lohan" and, while she'll probably cringe at the footage now, at least shows music has been a part of Stone's career since the very beginning.
