Actor: Emmy Rossum

Born on September 12, 1986, actress Emmy Rossum spent her childhood singing at New York’s Metropolitan Opera. By age 11, she was on television, and by adolescence, in movies. Rossum combined her vocal and acting talents to become a star at 18 in the film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera. Her encore to this musical was taking on an edgier, sexier role on the TV series Shameless.
