The Roman numeral simply indicates that she was the second actress named Emma Watson in their database. Her breakout role was 1994's The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. A myth that she is known to her family as "Emma Watson (II)" came about through her being included in the Internet Movie Database under that name. She immediately began auditioning for commercials and small films that were being shot in Texas.
