emmy rossum

At just 18 years old Emmy Rossum is already both an accomplished singer and actress - and not in the Hilary Duff, Lindsay Lohan sort of way, either. Having worked onstage with legends like Luciano Pavarotti and Plácido Domingo, and on screen with Sean Penn and Tim Robbins, Emmy seems destined to be one of the brightest lights of her generation. Before making her television debut on the daytime drama "As the World Turns," she had already performed at the Metropolitan Opera and Carnegie Hall, and had appeared in more than 20 different operas, in six different languages.

Rossum was deservedly nominated for a Young Artist Award, and afterward went on to portray a young Audrey Hepburn with co-star Jennifer Love Hewitt. This was the mainstream exposure she needed, and it brought her a mountain of offers for TV and movies. She made her feature film debut in 2000 when she appeared as Deladis Slocumb in "Songcatcher;" the film garnered her an Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best Debut Performance. She appeared in several other films, but it was her role in 2003's "Nola" that proved to critics and audiences alike that she could carry a film, and was just one more bit of proof that she would soon be a big name in Hollywood. Next, she appeared in Clint Eastwood's acclaimed "Mystic River," and got her action movie fix with "The Day After Tomorrow" alongside Dennis Quaid and Jake Gyllenhaal.

She appears in "The Phantom of the Opera" alongside Gerard Butler and Minnie Driver.
