Emily Browning
Emily Browning (born December 7 1988) is a child actor.
She was born in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Emily's breakthrough into acting began when she was noticed by a friend's father at a school play. He recommended Emily try professional acting and find an agent, and shortly afterwards Emily had 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 Connelly 's character. (She again appeared beside Billy in Lemony Snicket.)
Emily's first major role came when she had a recurring role as Hayley Fulton, a troubled teen on Blue Heelers, who was taken in by Tess Gallagher (Caroline Craig ). Browning appeared regularly from 2000 to 2002, when her character was forced to return to her real family. She then starred in the horror film Darkness Falls and also appeared alongside Orlando Bloom and Heath Ledger in the 2003 drama movie Ned Kelly.
Browning's most recent project is the film Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, in which she played the role of Violet Baudelaire, the oldest child who is a great inventor and very clever. Browning appears alongside Jim Carrey and Meryl Streep.
Emily has been quoted to be taking a break from film shooting, and has returned to Australia to attend school. She is currently dating a fellow student, Liam Shambrook, not be confused with Liam Aiken her co-star.
