Emmanuelle burst onto the scene with 2000's Snow Day, looking fresh-faced and ready to take on Hollywood. "I grew up in the theater. Early on in a local theatrical group, at age seven, I played the baby ghost. I knew I must be an actress. I feel it makes me alive. If I could no longer act, it would be like taking my breath away," she told PageSix.
