She lives and works in Los Los Angeles
She co-wrote (with Deanna Oliver) Universal"s Casper and was on the writing staff of the 1996 revival of an animated Casper the Friendly Ghost, also known as The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper. Stoner and Oliver wrote the Disney film, My Favorite Martian, based on the original 60s television series.
Stoner served as animation reference model for Ariel in Disney"s The Little Mermaid and for Belle in Beauty and the Beast. Ariel frequently bites her lower lip, and Belle often brushes hair away from her face.
Both of these are mannerisms of Stoner"s that animators adapted to the characters.
Her live-action television work includes a recurring role as Rachel Brown Oleson in the 9th season of Little House on the Prairie, and appearances in Murder, She Wrote and Knots Landing. She is currently working with Tom Ruegger as story editor on Disney"s The 7D.
