Emmy Rossum
September 12, 1986
It would seem that 2004, the year of her 18th birthday, will be remembered as pivotal for Emmy Rossum due to her appearance in two very different films, The Day After Tomorrow (2004) and The Phantom of the Opera (2004). Emmy's performance in the latter film gained her a Golden Globe nomination, and should assure that she will be a memorable presence in many films to come.
Being born and raised in New York City provided Emmy with the perfect place to start her professional career. After passing an audition at the Metropolitan Opera when she was 7 years old, she performed in over 20 operas in six different languages at Lincoln Center, alongside figures such as Pl?cido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti. She was directed by Franco Zeffirelli in "Carmen". She left the opera when she entered her teenage years, as she had grown too tall to perform as a child. Emmy also appeared in a Carnegie Hall presentation of "The Damnation of Faust".
In a change of venue, Emmy created the role of Abigail Williams in the daytime soap opera "As the World Turns" (1956) in 1999 and branched out in performances in the made-for-television movies Genius (1999) (TV) and The Audrey Hepburn Story (2000) (TV), in which she played the title character as a young teenager. Other television work included "Snoops" (1999), "Law & Order" (1990) and "The Practice" (1997).
Emmy made her theatrical feature debut in the indie Songcatcher (2000), which won the Special Jury Award for Outstanding Ensemble Performance at the Sundance Film Festival in January, 2000. Rossum received an Independent Spirit Award nomination in the category of Best Debut Performance for her performance as an Appalachian orphan. She played an aspiring songwriter (the title character) in the romantic comedy Nola (2003). Cast as the ill-fated daughter of a small-business owner in Clint Eastwood's Mystic River (2003), she projected an aura of innocence that made her tragic death memorable and heartbreaking. This was her first major studio film. After 6 months of filming her role as the fresh-faced but highly intelligent heroine of The Day After Tomorrow (2004) in Montreal, the 16 year old returned to New York and screen-tested for the role of Christine in The Phantom of the Opera (2004) in full costume and make-up and was finally selected for the part by Andrew Lloyd Webber after singing for him at his home. Although surprised to be chosen ahead of many better-known and older actresses considered for the part, the combination of her vulnerable, fragile beauty and fine, classically-trained singing voice ultimately proved that she was perfectly cast. In preparation for the role, she took ballet classes for two months and started polishing her singing. Emmy has commented that, in her approach to acting, she draws heavily upon her own experiences, so she visited locations in Paris and conjured up what she a terms "past memories" to draw upon in making her performance emotionally realistic. She stood on the roof of the Opera Garnier where Christine sings "All I Ask of You" and went underneath the opera house where there is actually a gloomy, dark lake. She studied Degas' paintings of ballerinas in the Musee d'Orsay to learn how to stand like one. Emmy attended the private Spence School in Manhattan through the 7th grade, and then finished high school using tutors and the Internet (through Stanford University). She is now enrolled at Columbia University and has already completed a course in art history, being inspired by her study of Degas in Paris.

At an older age, Diana traveled to Scandinavia to try and pursue a career in music, but unfortunately nothing happened professionally and Diana's incredible talent was still unknown. It was after gaining recognition on the television show "America's Most Talented Kids" that Diana tried out for the incredibly popular, "American Idol," which first gained success in the UK known as "Pop Idol." American Idol had previously brought forth such talents as Kelly Clarkson, Tamyra Gray, Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken. American Idol is a show where thousands of talented people compete against one another to win the title "American Idol," in which they also win a record contract and tons of media attention. It's much like Star Search, but with a very interesting twist. Contestants are voted off week by week, chosen not by the judges but by America. America uses their telephones to call in at the end of each show and vote for who they thought had the best performance for that night. The contestant with the least amount of votes for that night is kicked off.
Becoming one of the youngest contestants to make it to "Hollywood," the word every hopeful competitor wants to hear, Diana was praised by the show's infamous judges, Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul. She then advanced into the Top 32, which was chosen only by the judges, then Diana's fate was in America's hands. She was the first contestant chosen to be in the official and final Top 12. It was from there that Diana gained her American Idol success, placing second behind Fantasia Barrino among 70,000 hopefuls for the American Idol title.
After the show's season finale aired, Diana, Fantasia, and eight other finalists for the third season, Jasmine Trias, La Toya London, George Huff, John Stevens, Jennifer Hudson, Jon Peter Lewis, Camile Velasco, Amy Adams, traveled across America, also making a stop in Singapore, on the American Idols Live tour. This was their chance to perform for the fans who spent week after week with the contestants enduring just as much fear, excitement, and sadness that they did.

Nikki Reed
May 17, 1988
Nicole Houston Reed was born on May 17, 1988 in Los Angeles, California, the daughter of Seth Reed, a set designer, and Cheryl Houston, a hairdresser; she has an older brother, Nathan. Reed's father is Jewish and her mother has Cherokee Native American and Italian ancestry. Reed grew up exposed to the Jewish religion, as her brother had a Bar Mitzvah, although it has been noted that she has "questioned religion". She wears contact lenses and glasses.
Reed has described her home life as "complicated". Her parents divorced when she was two, and she grew up with her mother. At the age of fourteen, Reed moved out and began living on her own. She has since noted that during this time, she "grew up very fast", was "mature and responsible", as well as a "shy kid" and a "bookworm" who had no specific desire to become an actress. Director Catherine Hardwicke was Reed's father's ex-girlfriend, and also a close friend of Reed's family. Hardwicke asked Nikki to co-write a teenage comedy script. Reed, however, eventually wrote a serious dramatic script based on the experiences she went through as a teenager.
Reed and Hardwicke finished the script for the semibiographical film in six days, a relatively fast time for a Hollywood script to be written. Producers asked Reed to play a role in the film because they had trouble casting it, considering it an "uncomfortable" role for most young actresses.The film, also starring Evan Rachel Wood, was filmed and released in 2003 to glowing reviews, giving Reed recognition in Hollywood as both an actress and a screenwriter. Following the film's release, Reed also appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and hosted a number of award shows, including the Young Hollywood Awards (2003), and the Independent Spirits Awards Nomination Show, followed by the West Independent Spirits Awards, both in 2004.
Reed has continued to participate in racy roles that involve the portrayal of sexually promiscuous teenagers, including Lords of Dogtown, also directed by Hardwicke. In early 2006, she appeared on the series The O.C., playing Sadie, a new love interest for the character Ryan Atwood. Reed has noted that she disagrees with what she describes as the "trendy and shallow things" that The O.C. promotes, and that she appeared in the series because of advice from her agents.
Reed in Mini's First Time, 2006. Her most recent film role is in Mini's First Time, which received a limited release in the United States on July 14, 2006. In the film, Reed plays a teenager who, through seduction, involves her step-father in a plot to murder her mother. Reed has noted that her character does not "understand the weight of consequence", and that she enjoyed playing someone who she describes as "crass" and having a "trucker's mouth". Reed's character participates in explicit sex scenes, which had to be filmed from the point of view of Reed's back, as she was sixteen at the time and thus legally unable to film her scenes in a more explicit manner.
Reed has written another script, which may soon be produced, set in New Zealand between the 1960s and the 1980s. Reed has noted that she feels she is a versatile actress, but feels typecast in roles of "sexy bad girls", noting that producers often tell her that she is too "sexy" for a particular part.
After Thirteen's success, Reed returned to her Los Angeles high school, but dropped out again after a year. She cited her experiences, involving "mothers [who] were sneaking into the school at lunchtime to confront and harass me about the film" as the reason for her departure.Reed was subsequently home-schooled, and eventually received her high school diploma.
Reed, who resides in New York City and Los Angeles, began dating actor Victor Rasuk after meeting him on the set of Lords of Dogtown. The two now live together and Reed has specified that they are "in love..
