Emma Stone honed dance skills to play tennis great Billie Jean King

Emma Stone admits she's never been a sports player, so when she was asked to play former world tennis No. 1 Billie Jean King in the movie "Battle of the Sexes," the Oscar-winning actress approached it from a different direction - dancing. King, by contrast, who pioneered the fight for equal pay in tennis more than 40 years ago, pictured herself in Stone's position as she worked with the actress to portray her character.
