Early life

Browne was born in Sydney, New South Wales. She is a dual citizen of Estonia and Australia.[2] Her family moved to the United States when she was six weeks old.[4] Her father is a plastic recycling magnate.[5][6]

Browne developed an interest in acting after her two older sisters started taking lessons at the Beverly Hills Playhouse.[4] She attends a performing arts school in Sydney.[7]

Career

Browne started acting in television commercials when she was six.[8][4] She was cast in her first television role on Mr Inbetween, an Australian black comedy series, in 2019.[4]

Browne has appeared as the daughter of Masha Dmitrichenko in Nine Perfect Strangers, Alice Hart in The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart, young Alithea Binnie in Three Thousand Years of Longing, and Verity in the 2023 Australian film The Secret Kingdom.[8][7]

In 2021, Browne was cast as young Imperator Furiosa in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. Director George Miller said that she reminded him of a young Furiosa and that she impressed him while doing the splits on set while filming Three Thousand Years of Longing.[7] Rachel Handler of Vulture noted that Browne's reception at the film's 2024 Cannes premiere was "the loudest and most enthusiastic" aside from the reception for Miller himself.[5]

In 2024, Browne starred as Charlotte in the horror film Sting, which was released that April.[7] She was later cast as Maria Robotnik in Sonic the Hedgehog 3.[9] She appeared in the Australian film Whale Shark Jack and was cast in the psychological horror film From Below, scheduled for release in 2026.[10][11]

Personal life

Browne is an animal lover and roller skater.[5] She owned a pet jumping spider, which she released. Her other hobbies include surfing, roller skating, sewing, and teaching her dog and cat to do tricks. Browne dreams of writing and directing her own productions, as she enjoys the excitement of being on a set.[4]
