Emma Roberts was born on February 10, 1991 in Rhinebeck, New York to (actor) Eric Roberts and Kelly Cunningham (never married). Because her parents separated when she was very young, she split her time living with her mother and her father with step-mother Eliza (Garret) [Eliza Simons by a previous marriage]. She has a stepbrother (Keaton Simons, a musician and her mentor) and a stepsister (Morgan Simons), as well as a half-sister named Grace Nickels (born in March 2004 to mom Kelly and the father is Kelly Nickels, former bassist of the LA Guns). She is the niece of actresses Julia Roberts (Pretty Woman, etc.) and Lisa Roberts Gillan (Something to Talk About).

Her first big professional role came in the movie Blow in 2001 as the young Kristina Jung, playing opposite Johnny Depp. Even at age ten, she showed an aptitude for the screen.

She has also appeared in other movies, including: BigLove (2001); Grand Champion (2002); and Spymate (2003).

She attended the Archer Middle School, and now attends High School in Brentwood, California when not working.

In 2005, Roberts broke into the music business with a song on the "Ice Princess" motion picture soundtrack. The movie, a vehicle for "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" star, Michelle Trachtenberg, chronicled the travails of becoming a champion figure skater. Wisely marketed directly at Roberts' core demographic of female teens, the film ended up being a modest hit. The actress followed up with her first solo album, entitled Unfabulous and More: Emma Roberts (2005) on Columbia Records, but it debuted to little public or critical acclaim in the U.S.

Roberts was slated to appear in three films in 2006, but two of them - "Camp Couture" and "Bras and Broomsticks" - never went into full production. The third, however - the teen fantasy "Aquamarine" (2006) - did. In the charming comedy, Roberts played one of two girls who finds a mermaid. She also turned in a fantastic cover of Weezer's "Island in the Sun" for the soundtrack. Later that year, the teen starlet signed on to play the titular teen detective in "Nancy Drew" (2007), the first in a planned franchise of girl-friendly mystery movies. Roberts ramped up with the successful family comedy "Hotel for Dogs" (2009), earned some credit for the indie "Lymelife" (2009), and joined her famous aunt for the big-screen ensemble smash "Valentine's Day" (2010). As part of perhaps the starriest cast ever in a Hollywood production, Roberts held her own as a teenager considering losing her virginity. She tackled a variation on her persona - focused, mature, squeaky-clean - in the drugs-and-sex-soaked "Twelve" (2010), playing a straitlaced friend of Chace Crawford's rich high school drop-out who sells a highly addictive designer drug. Roberts made the biggest headlines of her career when it was announced that she had landed the lead role in "Scream 4" (2011) as Jill Kessler, the heroic cousin of Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell).
