"Easy A" was released in theaters in September 2010.
The filmed starred Emma Stone as Olive, Penn Badgley as Todd, and Amanda Bynes as Marianne.
Since then, Stone has gone on to become an Oscar winner. Badgley currently stars on the breakout Lifetime-turned-Netflix drama "You."

When "Easy A" was released in theaters in September of 2010, Emma Stone became a breakout star.

Stone wasn't unknown at the time (she previously appeared in "Zombieland" and "Superbad"), but her role as Olive Penderghast earned her plenty of praise, plus a few award show wins.

In the film, Olive did a five-part webcast and explained how she went from an unknown, unproblematic student to the center of unwanted attention due to a series of lies. Olive went on to embrace the gossip by parading around her high school with a red "A" on her clothing, inspired by the book "The Scarlet Letter."

Here's what the stars of "Easy A" have been up to since the movie came out 10 years ago.

Emma Stone's Olive went from an "anonymous" student to the most talked about person at Ojai North High School.
