Emmy Rossum is celebrating her 40th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress-singer-songwriter Emmy Rossum (Shameless, The Phantom of the Opera, Mystic River, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 40th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Born Emmanuelle Grey Rossum in New York on September 12, 1986, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history.
