Biography
Browning was born in Melbourne to Shelley
and Andrew Browning. She has two younger brothers: Nicholas (born 1994)
and Matthew (born 1996).
Browning's acting breakthrough began when
she was noticed by a friend's father at a school play; he recommended
that she pursue acting as a profession. Shortly afterwards, she won an
audition for a part in the Hallmark TV movie, The Echo of Thunder,
alongside Judy Davis. Other parts in Australian productions followed,
including a role in The Man Who Sued God, playing the daughter of Billy
Connolly's character (she again co-starred with Connolly in Lemony
Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events).
Browning's first major role was as Hayley
Fulton, a troubled teen in Blue Heelers, who was taken in by Tess
Gallagher (Caroline Craig). She appeared regularly from 2000 to 2002,
when her character was forced to return to her birth family. She then
starred in the horror film Darkness Falls, and also appeared alongside
Orlando Bloom and Heath Ledger in the 2003 film Ned Kelly.
Browning's most recent, and highest-profile
project has been the film Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate
Events, in which she played the role of Violet Baudelaire, a role which
won her the 2005 Australian Film Institute Award for Best Actress
(International). Browning appears alongside Jim Carrey and Meryl Streep.
Browning has been quoted as saying that she
is taking a break from acting, and has returned to Australia to attend
school. She is currently attending Eltham High School and is in her
final year.
Her nose and navel are pierced.[citation
