Stone made her television debut as Laurie Partridge on the VH1 talent competition reality show "In Search of the New Partridge Family" (2004). The resulting show, retitled "The New Partridge Family" (2004), remained an unsold pilot. She followed this with a guest appearance in Louis C.K.'s HBO series "Lucky Louie". She auditioned to star as Claire Bennet in the NBC science fiction drama "Heroes" (2007) but was unsuccessful and later called this her "rock bottom" experience. In April 2007, she played Violet Trimble in the Fox action drama "Drive", but the show was canceled after seven episodes.
