Emmy Rossum

i love Emmy and her overall style. some of you might find it boring and whatever, but i find it her style simple and elegant. though i have to say, she's getting a little overboard with the light colored outfits. she definitely needs more color in her wardrobe.

I agree, that she should wear some brighter colors, but it IS summer, so a lot of people like light colors. She does occasionally go brighter/ darker though-She just need to do iot more often IMO:

Thanks for the great pics I'm giving you karma.
I her excellant, classic style. Some people find it boring, but she does go for different colors/textures, etc. And contrary to popular belief she DOESN"T only wear Ralph Lauren-
she wears Peter Som a bit


and chanel


and Oscar de la Renta

Maybe RL is her fave designer, but lots of celebs wear some designers more than others.
Also, can anyone tell me who designed this dress:

This girl is one of those rare examples of too perfect. Flawless body, incredible face, seems intelligent, a great singer and a talented actress. Yet, I get the feeling that the lights are on but there's noone at home. Maybe she's too young and protected?

I hope she'll take on some more challenging role in the future - I liked her a lot in "The Day After Tomorrow"..

From her interviews she seems VERY intelligent.

At the age of 7 she began singing in the Metropolitan Opera, alongside Placido Doming and Luciano Pavoratti. She performed in over 20 operas in 5 languages, and appeared in Franco Zeferelli's film production of "Carmen" before leaving the Met at 12.

She finished high school at the age of 15, and she currently attends Columbia University, so she can't be too dumb.This is from Interview magazine in 2003:"I don't normally tell people," whispers actress Emmy Rossum, "but I like to study philosophy." It's an interest that the 17-year-old, who first gained notice in Songcatcher (2001), has little difficulty connecting to her craft: "It's like Descartes' theory of a ball of wax. You can change its form from solid to liquid, but it's still the same ball of wax. With acting, you're the same person in a different form. You can only be what you know, and you only truly know yourself." In addition to Philosophy, she also studies English and Art History." An only child born and raised in Manhattan (her father’s a businessman and her mother is a photographer), she’s more polished than a baby grand and so accomplished it’s ridiculous. When she’s not singing or making crème brûlée with the torch she got for Christmas (“The broiler didn’t work that well,” she says), Rossum takes courses at Columbia University. It was during a French class that she found out she had landed roles in both The Day After Tomorrow and Mystic River, in which she played Sean Penn’s doomed daughter. “I think when everyone heard the shrieking in the hallway,” she says, “they got the clue that it was good news.”


She's also done some very complicated roles.
-In the "Phantom of the Opera" her character started out as a naive, manipulated girl, and develps into someone who is able to make a decision that affects the lives of everyone around her. She has major isssues (she was orphaned at a young age and her father told her that when he's in heaven he'll send her an angel of music. She wants to believe this so badly that, when the Phantom comes along she gives him all her trust, believing that he is her father's angel- this leaves her wide open for manipulation and head games). Emmy does a great job of playing someone who is grieving, confused, lonely, in love, and afraid. Here's what she told Variety about the role:"The reason I wanted to do ‘Phantom,' beside the fact that Andrew's music is so beautiful, is that the character is so different from me. I mean, I'm a pretty happy, sociable person, and this is a girl who's very tortured emotionally and very lonely. And though I'm pretty rational, she's very spiritual, and I think I'm pretty loved and she's very alone at the cusp of womanhood without a mentor. Christine is a role that comes out of my own personal history growing up as a young person at the opera, and also from my heart. Even though we are very, very different, I am also similar to her in some ways"

-In "Mystic River" her role was small but crucial. She played Sean Penn's loving (but duplicitous) daughter, who's plans to elope result in her murder. The role is very different from a "good girl" role- we see her getting drunk, dancing on tabletops, etc.

-In "Nola" she plays an girl who runs away from her druggie mother and abusive stepfather, to find her father in NYC. She's by no means a naive girl in the big city-she's more savvy and cynical than most New Yorkers, and she's not willing to trust anyone. She gets involved with some eccentric characters (a woman who runs an unconvention escort service, a newspaper columnist with a secret, and a law student who never wants to be a lawyer) and becomes the crux of a subplot about legalized prostitution and the object of sexual blackmail.

-In "Passionada" she plays a rebelious daughter of a widow who has sworn never to remarry. Her mother is in such perpetual mourning that she doesn't see her daughters needs. At night Emmy's character dresses as an adult, haunts casinos, and picks up a professsional gambler with a crush on her mother, and makes a deal with him: if she helps him get her mom, he'll have to teach her to count cards. Despite the dubious morality of her characters actions, she basically has a good heart and wants her mother to be happy. It hurts her that her mom isn't open to happiness.

-In "Songcatcher" she played an appilacian orphan, who meets a professor visiting her sister. The professor has discovered a wealth of Irish folk ballads in the recion, and embarks on a project to collect recordings of them. Emmy's character enchants to professor wih her singing, but the professor comes to realize that what she though was appriciation for a lost musical form, may be exploiting the people of the region (who are also fighting to keep their land)

"The Day After Tomorrow" was entertaining IMO, but it is by no means a great showcase for her talent, or her most difficult role. I'd reccomend any of the above films. She also did several other indie films, including a BBC film called "Happy Now" in which she played two roles (it's supposed to be very good, but very hard to find). She was nominated for in Independant spirit award at the age of 13 for "Songcatcher" (the film also won Outstanding Ensemble Performance" at Sundance) and she has won two Young Artist Awards, A Critics Choice Award, A Broadcast Film Critics Award, A Saturn Award, and she's been nomiated for a Golden Globe. Not bad for 18. There is DEFINATELY something going on upstairs, IMO.

anyone who says she's not too smart hasn't read any of her interviews or bios.

Ok, when I said that she's like the lights are on but there's no one at home I did not mean it in the most common connotation of the idiom, ie that she's stupid. Like you pointed out - she has the papers to prove that she is one smart girl. There is no doubt about that at all.

What I meant was that for such a bright girl she sure makes a less than spiritual impression in talk show interviews. Sure, this can be because the talk show is so vacuous she doesn't even try, but still, to me she gives this impression of being a good girl who is going through the motions of being successful and intelligent like her parents taught her. She has been so successful and had such a good time that she has not yet had time to rebel against her parents - perhaps - I'm speculating - but it is pretty common among good girls (this is first hand knowledge). The side effect of this is that she seems to lack personality - and she's not very fetching. Unless when she's acting - when she is TO DIE for. I think she might be shy and young, that's the whole thing. I'm just not used to seeing such a perfect successful creature being shy like a normal teenager... Actually, when I think about it, I really appreciate her for being such a non-wannabe. She's just been blessed by nature with all these wildly improbable qualities - one of the most beautiful girls in the world (no flaws whatsoever), who is a great actress (at 18!) and an IQ of over 140...how often does that happen?!? Not in the last 20 years, anyway.

Thanks for the recommendations! I will go get hold of Nola, which to me seems to be the most interesting. I thought TDAT was entertaining enough but...well...Emmy was the most striking feature of the film
