What happened to Emmy Rossum?

I’m surprised no one is mentioning the presumably generational wealth she made off Shameless.

Yeah, and Peacock botched the launch of that show horribly.

Angelyne , excellent series that

No, she plays Andthe.

Fiona Gallagher had to run away from her family. In "Furious", she realizes fast that "Family" is what it's all about.

One, two, three babies. Ah ah ah.

She started in Phantom of the Opera at 17.

The other way around; Hollywood (and certain people in it) got tired of her diva behavior. I know a fairly big actor who worked with her and he effectively had to stage an intervention mid project because everyone was getting sick of her antics and demands to the point people were going to walk off set. Although her parents split when she was young and she was raised solely by her mother, She comes from a wealthy extended family in NY and acts like a princess. I think it did her no favors in the long run.

She does, but I'm not entirely sure you can chalk up her lack of recent work in an industry known for attracting primadonnas to that.

for shameless, she wanted the same money as how much frank was getting cos she thought she was the main character, and i think most folk kinda agree once she left the show dwindled away . As for being horrible on set, she just kept herself to herself she never got on with the younger cast members cos the age difference and the character that played Debbie kinda started the rumours and its snowballed from there

My ex took care of her cat at the vet and said she was very rude.

It's so weird she has that reputation, I had to hang out with her for a little while and Adam Duritz while I worked a certain computer in NYC like 10ish years ago and she was so nice and laid back.

>Doesn’t she have a reputation of being horrible on set After the me too movement, I'm always suspicious that rumours of "being difficult on set" is just code for "rejected the advances of a rapey producer".

Possible new Battlestar? Don't you give me hope.

Looks like she got buccal fat removal

Unrecognizable is a stretch

She looks the same just 10 years older? Do Listnookors know that women can age?

I walked by someone on the UES the other day and thought "wow she looks a lot like Emmy Rossum." I wonder if it was actually her.

What is UES?

It’s probably not an insane place. Since someone mentioned seeing her on the Upper East Side of Manhattan I’ll just share my own personal experience of going to the equinox gym on 85th and 3rd alongside Alysia Reiner (from Orange is the New Black) and Katie Couric (from the Today Show). The town I grew up in in suburban CT is quite known for celebrities - Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, Harvey Fierstein, Robert Vaughn all lived there, my brother saw Brendan Fraser around town, David Letterman ate breakfast every day at a restaurant on Main Street. People just know not to bother them, no one takes photos or asks for autographs. It’s just an unspoken rule that enables famous people to want to be there. Sharing this latter part because the UES neighborhood in Manhattan is very much like a quiet small town. Very few tourists, and a lot of people know each other and run into each other. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the salon is the one I went to on 86th street because it was really like a small town and people were really respectful of spotting celebs. Maybe it isn’t but a lot of celebrities will just go to normal places - I mean Katie Couric of all people didn’t need to go to a shared gym at all but she chose to.

Just because she's the main character doesn't mean she should be paid the same as a two time Emmy, four times SAG w***** who's 36 years older with a lot more experience than her. Also, she married Sam Esmail, so she's doing just fine financially.

if you say so, but that's why studios may be hesitant to hire her. The main star getting up and leaving is, obviously, very bad for the production.

I stopped the episode that >!the baby ingested cocaine.!<. It was a brief moment of happiness after they achieved something good and they ended it with a f****** tragedy. That’s when I realized it was simply tragedy p*** and I was out. F*** that show.

The finale was an absolute joke. You're blessed that you didn't.

The ending was disappointing but it felt fitting what happened to Frank.

same

Same. Wife and I stopped watching after like season 5. Seemed like it was rinse, wash, repeat over and over and over again. * Family member does something stupid. * They work hard and start to get their life back on track. * They make one tiny mistake, dominoes start falling and they're back to square one. * Frank is an idiot and they vow he's no longer a part of their life anymore. Spoiler: he's still a part of their life.

Which is seriously ironic given the OG UK Shameless had 11 seasons worth of plot content that the US writers totally abandoned after the first couple of seasons.

I don't need any of them to actually have a happy ending to enjoy the show, but a happy ending for a few of them would have been a nice balance to the rest of the story. There are times where the show leans worryingly close to the message of "*people in poverty are actually stuck being poor due to their own repeatedly terrible decisions*," which I don't think it intended to do, but someone making the argument that it did contain that message wouldn't have a hard time building their case. Every time a Gallagher got a lucky break in the show, that character would follow it up with the WORST possible next step (and sometimes it wasn't even available to take without writer intervention) in an attempt to f*** it up. Like I said, I understand poverty is a vicious cycle, but we're shown that these are crafty, clever survivors who find a way to make shit work under the worst conditions and always manage to scrape by. Then when they finally get lucky, it's like their whole backstory disappears and they are suddenly completely stupid to the point of helplessness, and not in some l****** w***** blowing money way, but like a "how do you get through a day without dying?" type of way.

I mean if by “rumors” you mean almost all of her shameless costars having a word to say about her, then yeah. Including the stars who were children when she was acting with them.

I only share it when I personally know people who worked with the actor or have myself had business with them. For exactly that reason, you never know by rumors. FWIW - some friends were writers on shameless and it was normal for Rossum to cuss you out if she didn’t like a scene or her requests were not met. She’d confront you both publicly and privately and is a very physically animated angry person - so she comes across more threatening than she means. But along with Macy, she basically \*was\* shameless for most of its early years and nothing could be done about it.

It's a valid thing to heat check it against but part of why that was such an effective 'smokescreen' phrase is because 'difficult to work with' is a very common label for the many Hollywood folks who are, unfortunately, difficult to work with.

There were multiple posts in this sub by people claiming to be crew members attesting to how difficult she was to work with.

Two things can be true at the same time.

Hence why I said rumors

Christine isn't the angel of music. Her father said there was one and the phantom took advantage of that to groom her. 

There are some actors that love the craft. There are some that love the money. If you get the latter and dislike the former, or grow to dislike it, why bother chasing it? Plus she could just be enjoying some time waiting for the right next project.

because some do like the "rich and famous" lifestyle. other like spending money a lot, and that means they need to keep working to be able to spend it.

If you Google you can find plenty of stories about her being a total a****** to crew members. These all come from people who either claim to have worked on the show, or claim to have worked on other shows filmed at the same lot during the same time. There's no real way of verifying any of these stories, so grain of salt but there are certainly a lot of similar accounts.
