This was her first major studio film.Īfter six months of filming her role as the fresh-faced but highly intelligent teenage damsel in distress Післязавтра (2004) in Montreal, she returned to New York and screen-tested for the role of Christine in Привид опери (2004) in full costume and makeup, and was finally selected for the part by Andrew Lloyd Webber after singing for him at his home. Cast as the ill-fated daughter of a small-business owner in Clint Eastwood's Таємнича річка (2003), she projected an aura of innocence that made her character's tragic death memorable and heartbreaking. She played an aspiring songwriter (the title character) in the romantic comedy Nola (2003). Rossum received an Independent Spirit Award nomination in the category of Best Debut Performance for her performance as an Appalachian orphan. Other television work included Snoops (1999), Закон і порядок (1990), and Практика (1997).Įmmy made her theatrical feature debut in the indie film Songcatcher (2000), with her good friend Rhoda Griffis, which won the Special Jury Award for Outstanding Ensemble Performance at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2000. In a change of venue, Emmy created the role of Abigail Williams in the daytime soap opera As the World Turns (1956) in 1997 and branched out in performances in the made-for-television movies Genius (1999) and Історія Одрі Гепберн (2000), in which she played the title character as a young teenager. She later enrolled at Columbia University and studied art history and French.
Emmy also appeared in a Carnegie Hall presentation of "The Damnation of Faust." She graduated from the Spence School, a private institution in Manhattan, in 1996 and then earned a high school diploma when 15 years old by taking online extension courses offered by Stanford University (Education Program for Gifted Youth). She was directed by Franco Zeffirelli in "Carmen." She left the opera when she entered her teenage years, as she had grown too tall to perform as a child. After passing an audition at the Metropolitan Opera when she was 7 years old, Rossum performed in more than 20 operas in six different languages at Lincoln Center, alongside such figures as Plácido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti. Her mother is of Russian Jewish descent and her father has English and Dutch ancestry.
Emmy's performance in the latter film gained her a Golden Globe nomination.Įmmanuelle Grey Rossum was born in New York City, where she was raised by her single mother, Cheryl Rossum, a corporate photographer (she has only met her father a few times). It would seem that 2004, the year of her 18th birthday, will be remembered as pivotal for Emmy Rossum due to her appearance in two very different films, Післязавтра (2004) and Привид опери (2004).
