With genes like these, how can she lose? Thirteen-year-old Emma Roberts, the daughter of Eric Roberts and the niece of Julia Roberts, is about to make her television debut as Addie Singer, an awkward teen who uses music to navigate the ever-uncertain trials of adolescence in Unfabulous, Nickelodeon's newest comedy series.
Created and executive produced by Sue Rose (Pepper Ann), Unfabulous will premiere in its regular timeslot on Sunday, September 12, at 8 p.m. (ET/PT) as part of an all new TEENick line-up.
Emma Roberts has been featured in several roles on the big screen. After nailing her very first acting audition, the late director Ted Demme cast her as the daughter of Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz in New Line Cinema's 2001 box office hit Blow. Soon after, Roberts starred in the Sundance short film Big Love, also starring Sam Rockwell. She also will appear in a lead role opposite Joey Lauren Adams in Grand Champion, an independent feature film scheduled for release in summer 2004. Roberts also stars opposite Richard Kind (Spin City) in Miramax's Spymate, also scheduled for release in summer 2004.
Unfabulous marks Rose's first partnership with Nickelodeon and her producing debut in live-action television. Prior to Unfabulous, Rose created and executive produced Disney's Pepper Ann, co-created, executive produced and voiced Angela Anaconda and is co-creator of Fido Dido, the animated spokes-character for 7-Up International. For her outstanding work in television animation, Rose has been nominated for both Emmy and Annie Awards. Rose has been honored by such organizations as Girls Inc., First Americans in the Arts and Parents' Choice for her strong, female lead characters and quality programs.
