The brunette beauty revealed she made hermother's dream come true after losing her to cancer at age 16. "My motherwas such a fighter," she said. "The cancer just devoured her, but tothe last moment she fought, and lived life; two weeks before her death, eventhough it would take her four hours to get ready, she was very coquettish andshe was getting ready and you’d ask, ‘You need help, Mom?’ and she’d say,‘Nope.’ She was going to do it on her own. And those are the kind of thingsthat when I least expect it, I remember them and go, ‘wow.’"
Thoughshe plays one on screen, Emmanuelle revealed she hopes to be a motherone day. "My dream has always been to adopt, so I’m sure that I will adoptat some point…whether I have some of my own or not kind of remains to be seen.”
