Emmy Rossum is featured in the September 2011 issue of Michigan Avenue Magazine.
In the issue Emmy talks filming her hit Showtime series Shameless in Chicago:
“It gets cold in New York but there’s a whole other level of cold in Chicago. We were here during ‘Snowmageddon’ and actually had to shut down filming for a couple of days at the end of the first season. But the people in Chicago are so welcoming. It’s such a film-friendly city. We’d be shooting in the cold, and people would say, ‘Come in and get warm.’ The areas we shoot in are pretty rough, some of the grittier neighborhoods, but people for the most part opened their doors. We’re representing the city of Chicago [with this show]. Chicago is massive, but it has a flavor all its own.”
She also talks a distaste for reality TV stars:
“Reese Witherspoon said it best [in her 2011 MTV Movie Awards speech about sex tapes and reality stars]. She was very blunt and honest about it. Reality stars…they’re not worth thinking about. I’m not sure what they do.”
The cast of Shameless is currently filming the new season, premiering January 8 on Showtime.
