AboutEmily Jane Browning (born 7 December 1988) is an Australian actress and fashion model, known for her role as Violet Baudelaire in the 2004 film Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, as Baby Doll in the 2011 action film Sucker Punch and as Anna Ivers in the 2009 film The Uninvited. She won the 2005 AFI International Award for Best Actress for her role in A Series of Unfortunate Events.
Browning won an AFI Young Actor's Award in 2002 and was nominated for the same award in 1999 and 2003. She was also nominated for Broadcast Film Critics Association Critics' Choice Award for Best Young Performer and Young Artist Awards Best Performance in a Feature Film, Leading Young Actress (both 2005).
Browning was born in Melbourne, the daughter of Shelley and Andrew Browning. She has two younger brothers, Nicholas (eight years younger) and Matthew (nine years younger). Browning was always interested in the arts, citing English literature, photography, and design as her favorite school subjects.
Browning's acting career began at the age of eight, when she was noticed by a classmate's father at a school play and he recommended that she pursue acting as a profession.[citation needed] Her debut role was on the 1998 Hallmark Channel movie Echo of Thunder. Additional roles in Australian film and television productions soon followed, including recurring parts in the television series Blue Heelers from 2000 to 2002, and Something in the Air from 2000 to 2001.
However, citing exhaustion, she then turned down a request to audition for the role of Bella Swan in Twilight, despite an endorsement from series author Stephenie Meyer. In 2009, she was cast as Baby Doll in Zack Snyder's action film Sucker Punch as a replacement for Amanda Seyfried, who dropped out due to scheduling conflicts. Filming took place in Vancouver from September 2009 to January 2010, and the film was released on 25 March 2011. She bleached her hair platinum blonde for the role, and showed up at Comic-Con in July with a short pixie crop. In an interview at the convention, she confirmed that she would be singing in the film.
