Romilly Browne
Romilly was born in the city of Bath and raised on a diet of 50s movie musicals. Her parents are an ex-DJ/headmaster who sat on her pet snail, and a dancer/teaching assistant who played the bassoon on the lawn of the White House. Romilly began acting, singing and dancing at the age of three because she wouldn’t talk except in lines from a musical. This led to a few child acting roles. It also led to a diagnosis of autism when she was nine, which made for traumatic school years and to lecturing widely about her experiences to parents and teachers. In her spare time, Romilly collects vintage toys, red lipstick and copies of The Wizard of Oz.
