Emmy Rossum
Rossum was born in New York City, New York[1], an only child[2][3] of Cheryl, a corporate photographer and a banker. Her family is Jewish[4]. She is the niece of Vera Wang, whom she related to by marriage. Her parents divorced when her mother was pregnant and she was raised by her mother, having only met her father twice. Her song “Anymore” from her album Inside Out, is based on this experience.[5]
Upon singing “Happy Birthday” in 12 different keys,[6] Rossum was welcomed by the director, Elena Doria as a member of the Metropolitan Opera Children’s Chorus.[7] Over the course of five years, Rossum sang onstage, and, along with the many other members of the chorus, with the likes of such opera greats as Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti. For $5 a night (there was once a horse on stage with her who got $150 a night[citation needed]), Rossum sang in five different languages, in 20 different operas such as La Boheme, Turandot, a Carnegie Hall presentation of The Damnation of Faust and A Midsummer Night’s Dream[8]. among others, and worked under the direction of Franco Zeffirelli in Carmen.
NEW YORK, Aug 08, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ —-Hollywood’s A-listers joined Piaget dripping in diamonds to celebrate the U.S. red carpet launch of their new Limelight Paris-New York jewelry and timepieces. Maggie Gyllenhaal, the starlet of the summer’s biggest block-buster, “The Dark Knight,” fell in love with Piaget’s bow shaped secret watch. Liv Tyler chose Piaget’s incredible 36 ct pink tourmaline cocktail ring to perfectly accent her chinoiserie dress. Mena Suvari chose Piaget’s Possession’s simple white gold and diamond hoops, while Emmy Rossum positively sparkled in Piaget’s white gold and diamond cascade necklace, diamond rose-inspired ring and matching diamond rose-inspired earrings. Becki Newton, Leighton Meester, and Zoe Kravitz also arrived to show their support for Piaget glittering in their diamonds.
The elegant occasion was hosted by Piaget’s CEO, Philippe Leopold-Metzger, who personally escorted the dazzling new collection from Switzerland and mingled with the actresses all evening. The star-studded event was held at the private Loft & Gardens at Rockefeller Center which offered breathtaking views of Manhattan, and was especially appropriate given that the Rockefeller Center building is one of the 12 tallest skyscrapers featured on Piaget’s New York-inspired Tourbillon Relatif.
