Emily Browning

Whether she was portraying a young ghost with a secret, or a mental patient with wild fantasies, Emily Browning delivered a searing range of emotions that always left an indelible mark on audiences. After padding her résumé with a number of recurring roles on television dramas in her native Australia, she starred in the horror film "Ghost Ship" (2002), as a young girl who died on a cruise ship. Yet, it was her portrayal of a resourceful orphan in the film version of the popular book series "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events" (2004) that made her a star across the pond. In 2011, Browning became all the rage in Hollywood as a fiercely imaginative mental asylum patient in "Sucker Punch," a role that challenged her physically and emotionally, and launched her as one of the most promising and versatile actresses of her generation.
