well behaved women

Man, Emily Browning grew up pretty.

She was auditioned for the role of Bella Swann, apparently because she was a fan favorite online, which is kind of amazing if you think of it--that people actually pay attention to the voices of their fans in that way sometimes, and that the internet has that kind of voice at this point in time. Obviously not to all people--and sometimes people listen to them when they shouldn't, like in the case of all the whining SPN fanbrats who couldn't stand the thought of a pretty protagonist girl interacting with the boys--but still, proof there. I couldn't care less about the Twilight movie, but that it happened is still kind of awesome.

(She declined. Making her a smart cookie, too.)
