[edit] Biography

[edit] Early life

Browning was born in Melbourne. She says she learned her American accent from the television show Sesame Street on the ABC. She has two younger brothers, Nicholas and Matthew. She remains based in Melbourne and is taking a break from acting to complete her education at Eltham High School, where she recently completed her Victorian Certificate of Education exams.

[edit] Career

Browning's acting career began when she was noticed by a friend's father at a school play and he recommended that she pursue acting as a profession. Shortly afterwards, she won a role alongside Judy Davis in the Hallmark Television movie, The Echo of Thunder. A successful career in Australian film and television productions soon followed, including The Man Who Sued God, in which she played the daughter of Billy Connolly's character. She later co-starred again with Connolly in Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, in which she played the role of Violet Baudelaire. She was also cast as a young girl named Katie Harwood on a newer version of the movie Ghost Ship in 2002.

Browning recently appeared in the music video for Evermore's Light Surrounding You.

On February 1, she attended the L'Oreal Fashion Festival as festival ambassador.[1]

Stephenie Meyer personally believes that Browning would be perfect for the role of Isabella Swan in the film version of her bestselling novel Twilight if it were ever to be made into a movie. [2]
