Emmy Rossum's childhood and family

The future talented actress and singer Emmy Rossum was born on September 12, 1986 in New York. The girl was raised by her mother, since her father abandoned the family even before the baby was born. To feed and clothe her daughter, the woman had to work her main job at a bank and moonlight as a photographer. At first, Emmy thought that one day the doors would open and dad would come in, but the dream never came true. The girl never managed to get to know her father properly; she saw him only a few times.

Emmy Rossum as a child

At the age of 7, the young beauty demonstrated her talent by performing a simple song several times in all keys. The head of the children's choir, Elena Doria, was amazed by her voice and charisma, so she advised Emmy to continue improving her skills. Within days, Rossum became part of the choir and performed with various famous performers over the next 5 years. Despite being in demand, the girl received only $10 per performance.

At the age of 12, Emmy's ambitions grew, so she wanted to achieve real success. The girl decided to move on, so she signed up for individual courses to improve her acting skills with Flo Greenberg. Over time, he advised her to get an agent and start going to castings. Having listened to the guru of her business, Emmy soon made her debut on television.
