Emmy Rossum’s Feet

Click To Enlarge Feet

As they say in the Georgia backwoods, damn, those piggies look playful. Often mistaken for the Russian seamstress Lenka Garagova, Emmy Rossum, an actress who specializes in disaster flick heroines [The Day After Tomorrow, Phantom of the Opera and Poseidon], is perhaps best known as the chick who winds up floating face down in Mystic River. Often criticized for her choices of dead end roles, Rossum’s in current negotiations to star in World War III: No Tomorrow. Born in New York City, Rossum’s mother, Sheryl, is a corporate photographer and her father a banker. Caught in the resultant occupational tug-of-war, Rossum toyed with the idea of downloading mug shots of Fortune 500 felons for The Smoking Gun website, but discovered she had a gift for singing Happy Birthday in 12 different keys. Chuck E. Cheese laid big bucks at her gorgeous feet, but Emmy chose the cultural path. She joined the Metropolitan Opera Children’s Chorus whereupon an additional gift was the fact that she could do the Beatles song book in 24 languages including Farsi. By the time she outgrew children’s costumes, Emmy was often seen in the Times Square district of the city humming entire sections of La Boheme, Turandot and The Damnation of Faust. You’d figure that menial operatic gigs would be Emily’s choice of careers but you’d be wrong. Pointless TV gigs were more to her style. Emmy got a recurring role as the original Abigail Williams, in the long-running daytime soap As the World Turns, and because of some vague resemblance, was picked to play Audrey Hepburn in the inspired ABC TV - titled movie, The Audrey Hepburn Story. A cultural footnote: Hepburn dies. Then in 2006, Rossum appeared as Juliet in a Williamstown Theatre Festival Production of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. What is with this chick and decomposing bodies you might ask? However, a rumor that Rossum will be playing Edgar Allan Poe’s love interest in the musical version of Annabel Lee is seriously being looked into by our research staff. A stickler for what she terms “emotional honesty,” Rossum, predictably, cites Dolly Parton as an influence. Among the Emmy fun facts is that she suffers from celiac disease, an auto-immune disorder marked by the body’s intolerance of food containing gluten. Tabloid gossip averse, Rossum’s made the point of avoiding the paparazzi. So it’s truly ironic that this snap was taken by one. Judging from the photo, our guess is that Emmy’s cleavage would be the subject of another disaster movie. But no matter. The ardent footman overlooks such trivialities and awards “10″s on the basis of emotional honesty. In Emmy, the truth is somewhere between her fine suckable toes.
