(edit)
On April 14, 2007, Emily was a bridesmaid at the wedding of friend Melanie Lynskey who married Jimmi Simpson.
(edit)
Emily's last name is pronounced "day-shuh-nell", with the stress on the first syllable.
(edit)
Emily's best friend is Michaela Conlin who plays Angela Montenegro on Bones.
(edit)
Her paternal grandfather was French and the rest of her ancestry is Irish.
(edit)
Emily Deschanel (regarding Doctor Temperence Brennan's conservative appearance): My character is very buttoned up on the show, so I try to keep the make-up to a minimum. My hair has been stick-straight, up in a ponytail, wavy and down. It changes daily.
(edit)
(When asked about her chemistry with Bones co-star David Boreanaz)
Emily Deschanel: You know, I think David [Boreanaz] and I immediately had a kind of chemistry as actors together. We work hard, we work together every weekend, we work hard at keeping the chemistry there. I think what's great is the writers write all these different scenes, where we get to explore the characters in different ways, so it keeps it really fresh and interesting. We're not getting stuck in some kind of rut. (edit) Emily Deschanel: I'm a vegan, but you can be really unhealthy as a vegan, too. Vegan just means that you don't use animal products, so you don't wear leather, you don't wear wool, and you don't eat animal products. But you can eat French fries and stuff like that all day long. (edit) Emily Deschanel: I was in school with Ginnifer [Goodwin]; she's a couple of years younger than I am. She's super sweet. She told me I gave her a pep talk once, even though I can't remember it. And [Michael] Chiklis - I love The Shield - he's so good. When I was in school, he came to speak to us about acting and told this story about how he had As You Like It on his resume; and a casting director asked if it were a soap opera. The casting guy said, "ABC? NBC?" and Chiklis said, "No, Shakespeare." I'll never forget it. (edit) Emily Deschanel: Everything I know about makeup, I've learned from my sister. (edit)
