Coral Browne

Coral Edith Browne (d. 23 Temmuz 1913; Melbourne, Avustralya ö.29 Mayıs 1991; Los Angeles, ABD), Avsutralyalı-Anerikalı kadın sahne, sinema ve dizi oyuncusudur. Broadway'de sahnelenen geniş kapsanlı tiyatro oyunları Macbeth (1956), The Rehearsal (1963) ve The Right Honourable Gentleman (1965) ile bilinir.
1983 İngiltere yapımı BBC TV filmi An Englishman Abroad ile 1984 yılında BAFTA Ödülü kazanmıştır. Yer aldığı diğer sinema ve Tv filmleri arasında; Auntie Mame (1958), The Killing of Sister George (1968), The Ruling Class (1972) ve Dreamchild (1985) sayılabilir.
1969'da Browne, Sir Ralph Richardson, Stanley Baxter ve Hayward Morse ile birlikte yer aldığı Joe Orton'un tartışmalı yapımı Kraliçe Tiyatrosu'nda sahnelenen West End'deki "Butler Taw (oyun)" adlı orijinal yapımdan alınma tiyatro oyunuyla sahne aldı.
1986 yılında çevrilen önemli bir film olan Dreamchild (1986) yazar Lewis Carroll'lın yaşamının bir dönemini konu almaktaydı. Filmde oyuncu Browne Alice Liddell'in "Alice Harikalar Diyarında" hikayesinden ilham almış olan yazarın daha sonradan hayatını etkileyen önemli bir hesaplaşmayla yüzleşmesini başarıyla canlandırmıştır.
İki defa evlenen sanatçının çocuğu yoktur. Yaşamı boyunca oynadığı tüm tiyatro oyunlarından telif hakkını alan oyuncu göğüs kanseri nedeniyle 29 Mayıs 1991'de Los Angeles'ta 77 yaşında ölmüş, cenazesi ise yakıldıktan sonra külleri Hollywood Forever Mezarlığı'nda icra olmuştur.
