Emmanuelle Vaugier
co-star of Secondhand Lions
InStyle, October 2003

Nickname “Mani. My best friend in ninth and 10th grade started calling me that, and I hated it. She wouldn’t stop until everybody was calling me that. It just sort of stuck.”

Dream role “Little Orphan Annie. I used to watch the movie Annie all the time when I was a kid. I loved all the songs from it.”

Has lied about “My girlfriends and I were at an uptight country club party. These guys came over to talk to us and asked us what we did. We were like, ‘We’re in the adult film industry.’ They were kind of on the young side, so they believed it. Word spread like wildfire. It was pretty funny.”

In case of fire I’d save 1.)“My two poodles, Lilly and Isabel, 2.) my iBook, and 3.) my photo album.”

Five words that describe who I am “Easygoing, dorky, fun, organized, outgoing.”

First Hollywood crush “Michael J. Fox. I loved him! It’s his personality. He’s very charismatic and charming. And cute.”

Favorite TV show “Sex and the City. I didn’t start watching it until the series came out on DVD. I’ve gotten through the first two seasons now. I can identify in some way or another with everything that those characters do.”
