I think it was Teen Vogue. She looked so pretty on her cover.
Actually she never did Broadway. She was in the Children's Chorus at the Metropolitan Opera for several years but that's it as far as her stage work goes.Boomer said:She's the very talented and beautiful young actress who starred on Broadway and did the lead in the "Phantom of the Opera" movie- She also is a young style leader, always stunning on the red carpet!!
She's been in several films including Songcatcher, Passionada, Mystic River, and The Day After Tomorrow, though Phantom was her big "breakthrough" role- She won a Critics Choice Award, A National Board of Review Award, A Saturn Award, and was nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance. She's also been nominated for an Independant Spirit Award (for Songcatcher) and won a Young Star Award (for the TV movie Genius)
Her next film is Posideon which is coming out in May (I've posted some stills from the movie on this thread) and she's currently working on her first album.
I think she has more potential than a lot of young starlets. It'll be intersting to see how she develops as she works on different kinds of films with different people, and continues her vocal training. She has a lot of raw talent so I'm curious to see how it'll develop.

Can't wait until Poseidon come out!
Mel of Emmyrossumfan was kind enough to organize a "fan interview" for the people of the site forums and Emmy herself. They questions were email to Emmy via her manager and she recently posted part one of Emmy's answers. Here they are.
*Just a quick note. Emmy mentions that her dream opera role is Musetta in Carmen which was a slip of the tongue- Musetta is a character in La Boheme. However she discusses the role and the aria in it's proper context
Emmy, what kind of toothpaste do you use?
Biotene mint gel toothpaste
Emmy, you've stated in the past that you are a light lyric soprano.
What do you think you will be once your voice has fully matured, and
who are some of your favorite classically trained sopranos (I think you
mentioned Denyce Graves in an interview once)?
I am a lyric soprano but as I'm getting older my voice is developing a
strong middle and surprisingly dark lower voice which is exciting
because it's enables me to be naturally more expressive. It's hard to
say where my voice will eventually settle but it seems that my range is
increasing as I get stronger and older. Some of the favorite
classically trained sopranos are Kiri te Kanawa and Sylvia McNair.
Honestly, I think Renee Fleming takes the prize for me. I've seen her
sing and she makes it seem so effortless! I really admire her! I've
actually met her, and it was one of the only times I've been star
struck, I was so nervous! But she wrote a lovely inscription to me
inside her book and I was so happy! (P.S. If anybody's interested, her
autobiography is as good as the best singing lesson! The way she
describes placement of the voice and how to correctly make, harness and
send the sound is remarkable and one of the easiest to understand
explanations I've ever heard!)
There's something about your way of speaking, or your words in general,
that is so eloquent. I wonder: have you ever thought of penning a book
of some sort?
Wow, that never really occurred to me. I have been doing more writing
recently, lyrics and journal writing that I turn into lyrics that will
reflect my inner thoughts. So you will get to hear more of that with my
songs.
What are your favorite books and movies?
Two of my favorite books are Of Mice and Men, Five Quarters of the
Orange
Some of my favorite movies are L.A. Confidential, The Insider, Say
Anything, Notting Hill and Mrs. Doubtfire.
Are you ever going to record an album?? If so, please tell us about it!
I am currently recording a pop album for Geffen Records. I am writing
most of the lyrics, which I am really excited about! I feel like when I
turn on the radio, I don't hear any kind of emotional truth anymore.
That's one of the reasons I don't feel moved or affected by many
current songs. I would like to be able to bring some of that back into
contemporary music, which is why it's important for me to write
honestly. Some of my influences are David Gray, Seal, Sarah McLachlan,
Frou Frou and Whitney Houston. Hopefully I'll be able to post some
pictures of me in the studio soon!
"Which actors and actresses inspired or motivated you in some way?"
I have been so lucky to work with some great actors who have directly
motivated me. From Gena Rowlands, I learned to be unafraid to improvise
and let it rip. Sean Penn demonstrates intense commitment to character
and reality and that was a privilege to watch. I am always impressed by
Russell Crowe, who brings just real emotion and intensity to his roles.
"Who are your favorite actors?"
Nicole Kidman, Denzel Washington, Tim Robbins
"Will you come to these boards?"
Gosh, I think it would be hard for me to read what people were saying
about it all the time. Whether it's good or bad, it's funny to think
people are writing about you. Feedback is important, especially from
you guys, so I think it's better to get in this question and answer
format.
"Whats your favorite food?"
Everything sweet, fruit, papaya, mango, berries, sorbet, crème
brulee!! Chocolate mousse. I have a terrible sweet tooth!
Emmy, Would you ever want to guest star on other TV shows besides Law
and Order?
Absolutely, I love a lot of the shows on HBO, I think they are really
well made and I would love to go on and play a fun character for a few
episodes. I wouldn't rule out any medium of creativity if I think it
would be fun and challenging.
Do you know how to get a girl who has been acting for a long time
become a true actor like in movies?
It's a really tough business, and, like any business, it's competitive
and hard to be successful. I find it really creatively fulfilling and
fun! If I were to give advice, I would say to study acting, do theatre
or anything you can find to get experience and try to get an agent that
way.
How was your talent discovered?
I have always loved music, ever since I was little. Even though no one
in my family is very musical at all, a lot of music was played around
my house, classical music especially, and everyone noticed that I loved
singing. My mom sent me to music school when I was 2, probably because
I wouldn't stop tapping beats on the dinner table, and I was hooked.
In first or second grade, when I was in the chorus in school, my music
teacher told me that I had perfect intonation and that I should go over
to the Met to audition. After waiting a year to get an audition, I
tried out and they took me. After that I was trained pretty rigorously
but all in the spirit of fun for about 6 months before I went on the
stage for the first time when I was 7.
What is the highest note you can sing?
High F
Emmy, I LOVE the fact that you live such a clean lifestlye for a young
hollywood celebrity, you don't drink, smoke, or do drugs. And you have
NO idea how much I respect you for that, seriously, you are my
inspiration!! lol Anywhos, my question...How do you not give into peer
pressure, how do you survive it all? (Believe me, I know it's hard, all
my friends drink but me.) And, what made you decide to do this?
p.s. you ROCK! Lol
I suppose I just don't enjoy hard partying that much. The few times
that I have had a drink in the past, I just get really sleepy!! Some of
my friends drink, but I always agree to be the designated driver.
Gosh, I know that sounds dorky but it's a good thing! ?
If you were going to be in an opera, what would your dream role be?
I would be most excited to play Musetta in Carmen. I have loved the
aria Quando Men Vo since I was 7 at the Met. It was one of the first
operas I was part of. Musetta is a very flirty, feisty, sexy young
woman. In the aria Quando Men Vo, Musetta is addressing her
ex-boyfriend, who she sees out at a busy café. She is taunting him and
saying that he must kicking himself for breaking up with her because
she is so beautiful and sexy and everyone on the street can't take
their eyes off her. She is creating quite a scene in this café with her
new boyfriend, and strutting up and down the street in front of her ex.
In the Met's Zefferelli production, Musetta is wearing a gorgeous pink
dress and is so flirty and cute, lifting her skirt above her head to
reveal her petticoats. The moment is so iconic on stage because she is
only thing moving and colorful on stage, the entire chorus and rest
stage "freezes" and doesn't move for the entire aria and it's one of
the most beautiful things to watch, her pink silouette moving across
and stage with such life and feistiness.
The aria is so beautiful and I just remember thinking that Musetta was
(and is) the complete opposite of me, but that it would so much fun to play
her.
Disregarding Phantom obviously, if you were to be in a stage musical
what would it be?
That's a tough one, I would want it be totally different from Phantom,
maybe a comedy with singing and dancing??
What's it like having a forum dedicated to you with about 1350 users
and over 86180 posted articles?
It's amazing! Really encouraging and supportive. a little bizarre ?
Would you consider working more with your voice, bettering it?
Absolutely! I still work with a vocal teacher, as I think that it's
always good to have someone to help you and to bounce things off of.
Also I love learning and as my voice develops as I get older, it
gets darker and more rich. It's great to have someone who I've worked
with for years who knows me so well and can correct any little thing
I'm doing wrong very easily. You have a common language and can fix
little things very quickly.
Hopefully we'll get her answers to the 2nd set of questions soon!

Isnt it weird how she says she loves chocolat, yet in an INSTYLE interview she said she never eats sweets, because they dont make her feel good ?
