Emma Kenney

The charming Emma Kinney, widely known for her role as Debbie Gallagher in the TV series Shameless, has been acting in films since early childhood. Her acting talent was noticed by the casting manager when the girl was eight. So she got the first role in a full-length film, which was followed by work in popular TV series and projects both in the frame and behind him (dubbing). Today Emma is no longer a teenager, but a pretty matured girl who is on the verge of a big movie.

Emma Rose Kinney was born on September 14, 1999 in Manhattan, New York. Father - Kevin Kinney - criminal lawyer. Mother - Gillian Kinney is a sports journalist who worked for the New York Post, Fox Sports. On the mother's side, Emma has Caucasian roots.

The girl spent her childhood in New Jersey. The future actress grew up in the company of her brother, only unlike him, from the very first steps, she began to show interest in reincarnation. Developing the daughter's talents, her parents sent her to acting classes. Five-year-old Emma visited them with her friend Sierra Jill.

The girl applied the skills she got in acting school in filming for advertising. There, at the castings, which have now become a second home, the manager of one of the paintings noticed her. An artistic 8-year-old girl played a tiny role (the daughter of one of the heroes) in the short film "Lear and the Liar", making her debut in a very serious genre - a crime drama.

In the same year, the girl gets a second role. This time - the main one. In the art-house film "Bittersweet" there are almost no dialogues, but all the more clearly the dramatic talent of the little actress, who was able to portray the character of the heroine even without words, manifested itself.

Then Emmy looked for herself in directing: as a 10-year-old child, she presented her short film "The New Girl In Town" at the international festival in New Jersey and reached the final of the competition. Perhaps it was then that Emma's love for this profession was born. After all, now she says with confidence:

2009 is a busy year for young Emma. The actress starred in two short films "Civil Union" and "Three Little Dolls". In the last girl again gets the main role. This year, Emma also celebrates her television debut, starring in two children's TV series, Green Apples and Summer Camp. At that moment, she did not yet know that in a few years she would become an American TV star, thanks to the role, playing which she would grow and mature.

In 2011, Showtime launched the comedy series Shameless about the Gallagers. The head of the family, Frank, is a drunken parasite, from whom his wife escaped, leaving him with 6 children (4 sons and 2 daughters). Each of the offspring of Gallagher is far from perfect, moreover, he tries to deal with his problems alone, which further exacerbates the situation.

The eldest daughter Fiona, after the flight of her mother, took over custody of the younger children, but she is desperately unhappy in her personal life. Older brother Phillip is struggling with alcohol addiction, middle Ian is a homosexual with bipolar disorder. Finally, the younger Liam and Karl are drug addicts and psychopaths, respectively.

Emma Kinney played the youngest daughter, Debbie. If in the first seasons her heroine is a cute teenager helping her older sister take care of her brothers and father, then by the fifth season she suddenly becomes an uncontrollable teenager who suffers from an inferiority in the family, her own insecurity and a number of childhood problems at this age.

The set of the series has become akin to the actors over the years. According to Emma, ​​she had the warmest and most friendly relations with actress Emmy Rossum, who played her on-screen sister Fiona, and Ethan Katkosky, who portrayed Carl.

In the US, Shameless was an incredible success. So much so that in 2016 the producers officially renewed it for the 8th, and a year later for the 9th season. By this time, much had changed in Debbie's life: the girl became a single mother and learned to be a welder.

The role in Shameless made Kinney a wealthy girl. She earns $ 12,000 per episode, and for each new episode she also receives a 4% increase. When reporters asked if it was difficult for her to work on the set with a tight schedule for so many years in a row, Emma replies that she tries not to separate professional and social life, because Shameless is just a show, you need to treat it accordingly.

Moreover, Kinney's energy is enough even for other projects. So, in 2013, the girl participated in the scoring of the animated film Epic, along with such stars as Amanda Seyfried, Colin Farrell, Beyoncé.

Emma Kinney is not one to flaunt her love life. Rather, she protects her from prying eyes. She once mentioned her crush on actor Dylan O'Brien, but later did not comment on it. Fans can only guess if their favorite has a boyfriend.

But otherwise, the actress is open to her fans. She communicates with them on Twitter, uploads photos on Instagram: with colleagues on the set, in a fashionable dress at a party, in a swimsuit by the pool, with adorable dogs in a shelter, in a cafe for her favorite pizza.

By the way, the actress eats only vegetarian pizza, is an active animal protector and does not eat meat, planning to give up fish in the future. This diet benefited Emma's figure. Previously, the girl had problems with being overweight, but now she is noticeably slimmer (the growth of the actress is 170 cm).

Since October 2018, a new long-term television project "The Conners" has appeared in Emma's filmography.

This series is a continuation of the sitcom "Roseanne", which was a resounding success on American television in the 80s and 90s. Kinney plays a girl named Harris Conner. Her acting biography continues to gain momentum.
