In the production of The Phantom of the Opera, a notable detail involves the doll in the Phantom's lair, which is believed to resemble Emmy Rossum. Contrary to popular belief, this doll is not a wax mold; it is actually Emmy Rossum herself.
The filmmakers initially created a mask of her face to place on the mannequin, but when they added the fake eyes, it didn't quite resemble her.
Recognizing this, Rossum suggested she stand in as the doll instead. To achieve this, she was made up with waxy makeup to look like a doll and instructed to stand very still, creating a convincing and eerie effect for the scene.
