Biography

Emily Browning is an Australian actress who began on television, making her debut in 1998 with The Echo of Thunder, a Hallmark Channel movie, and then appearing in Australian series including Blue Heelers and Something in the Air. The horror film Ghost Ship (2002) brought her to a wider audience, and she won the Australian Film Institute's international award for best actress for playing Violet Baudelaire in Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004). She later became known for The Uninvited (2009), Sucker Punch (2011), Sleeping Beauty (2011) and Pompeii (2014), and the Hamptons International Film Festival named her breakthrough performer of the year for that role. Further films include Summer in February (2013), Plush (2013), Legend (2015) and Golden Exits (2017). She played Laura Moon in American Gods from 2017 to 2021 and had a recurring role in The Affair.
